Note:"Common Sense was first published -- anonymously -- in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 12, 1776, and reprinted almost immediately in other parts of the country. Shortly after its first publication, Paine revised the text and published in the same year a corrected and enlarged version as, 'A NEW EDITION, with several Additions in the Body of the Work.' An 'N.B.' on the title page stated also that 'The New Edition here given increases the Work upwards of One-Third.' The 'New Edition' must be accepted as the author's final version and has, therefore, been adopted for the present volume."-- p. liii
