| Item Description: | A reprint, with some omissions and considerable additions, of the "Large additions" collected by R. Bell of Philadelphia, the original publisher of Thomas Paine's "Common sense", and published after his quarrel with Paine, as a device to help the sale of his third edition against that printed about the same time by Paine's new publishers, W. and T. Bradford. According to the advertisement at the end of the Philadelphia edition, the "Large additions" were written by "some worthy and respectable citizens of Philadelphia"--Cf. Sabin, volume 14, page 126.
