In the following pages I offer nothing more

than simple facts, plain arguments, and
common sense; and have no other
Preliminaries to settle with the reader, than
that he will divest himself of prejudice and

will put ON, or rather he will not put OFF the
true character of a man, and generously
enlarge his views beyond the present day.
-Thomas Paine, Common Sense
