Note

Though the titles included are (in part) paged and signed separately, Evans records "Common sense" only as having been issued separately.

At least four issues with variant title pages exist, of which this is evidently the first. It mistakenly lists the "Letter to Abbe Raynal" as preceding "Public good," and the "Letter to the Abbe Seyeys" as preceding the "Letter to the authors of the Republican." - Pagination: xii, 124, 60, [2], 186, 41, [4], vi-vii, [2], 10-70, [2], 24 p.

"Subscriber's [sic] names."--p. [v]-xii.
