[PAINE (Thomas, an English-born American Founding Father, French Revolutionary, political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary, 1737-1809)].

Infidelity exposed, by some account of the writings and death of Thomas Paine; or, the churchman confirmed in his religion and loyalty. 

(Bristol): 'Printed by J. Chilcott, 30, Wine-street, Bristol' [for the society], 1833. Edition unstated. 16pp. Disbound from a volume of separately bound chapbooks. Size: 8vo (17cm x 10.2cm).

Very Good to Good condition. Tear to fore-edge of first leaf with minor loss of lettering ['d' to title page, and five letters to verso]. Light age-toning. Leaves at foot of spine slightly separating from text block. Please ask if you require a more detailed condition report, or view gallery images closely.

A rare chapbook / pamphlet in which the Church of England Tract Society attacks the character of American founding father Thomas Paine. Copac lists none of this edition, and only 1 of an earlier edition [British Library], and Worldcat cites 4 copies of the 1819 edition [2 in the UK and 2 in the USA].
