narrowly escaped the guillotine during The Terror. Died in New York City on June 8, 1809, on what is now 59 Grove Street in Greenwich Village. There were reportedly only six mourners who attended the funeral procession to Paine's farm in New Rochelle, two of them being freed slaves. |

I have the book "The Rights Of Man" somewhere in the house from 50 odd years ago. Never really read it. Perhaps I should.
