The title in full, runs as follows: _Rights Of Man. | Part | The Second. | Combining | Principle And Practice. | By | Thomas Paine, | [Four lines] London: | Printed for J. S. Jordan, No. 166, Fleet-Street. | 1792_. The volume was the same size as the first part, and contained 178 pages, selling, as the half-title tells us, for three shillings. It was dedicated to Lafayette. This part was also issued by Symonds in a cheap edition, uniform with the first part, which sold for sixpence. The printer alarmed by the "intimations" was Chapman. He had offered successively, at different stages of the publication, £100, £500, and £1000, for the work, but Paine preferred to keep it in his own hands, fearing, perhaps, that this was a government attempt to suppress the book. From a financial point of view he was wise, since, on July 4, he handed over to the Society for Constitutional Information, £1000, which he had already received from sales. After Chapman's withdrawal, Jordan took up the printing, but with the understanding that if questioned he should say that Paine was author and publisher, and would personally answer for the work. The fears of the printers proved anything but groundless. The persecution, by imprisonment or fines, of those who were connected with the publishing (printing and selling) of the book would "astonish you", as Dr. Currie writes in 1793, "and most of these are for offences committed many months ago. The printer of the _Manchester Herald_ has had seven different indictments preferred against him for paragraphs in his paper; and six _different_ indictments for selling or disposing of six different copies of Paine--all previous to the _trial_ of Paine. The man was opulent, supposed worth 20,000 l.; but these different actions will ruin him, as they were intended to do." Octavo. COLLATION: _1 l., 162 pp._ JAMES BOSWELL (1740-1795) 65.
