What it is about
Collected writings, volume 4 (1794–1796): The Age of Reason.
Context and history
The deist attack on revealed religion, written in Paris with the guillotine waiting: Paine began it the night before the Jacobins arrested him. The book cost him his reputation in the United States, and he died all but forgotten in 1809. **Note: the catalogue holds the four volumes and also the complete Writings.**
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
