Attributed to Thomas Paine in the Dictionary of American biography.

There are two distinct editions of No. I, readily differentiated by the lack of place and date at the foot of p. 8 or their presence."--Wolf, E. "Evidence indicating the need for some bibliographic analysis of American-printed historical works." PBSA 63 (1969): 267. This is the earlier edition without place or date on p. 8; Evans 14953 records the later edition (with "Philadelphia. December 19, 1776." at foot of p. 8) only.
