Kitap Tanıtımı 'No writer has exceeded Paine in ease and familiarity of style, in perspicuity of expression, happiness of elucidation, and in simple and unassuming language.' Thomas Jefferson 'A pamphlet called ‘Commonsense’ makes a great noise. One of the vilest things that ever was published to the world. Full of false representations, lies, calumny, and treason, whose principles are to subvert all Kingly Governments and erect an Independent Republic.' Nicholas Cresswell 'I dreaded the effect so popular a pamphlet might have among the people, and determined to do all in my Power to counteract the effect of it.' John Adams 'Its effects were sudden and extensive upon the American mind. It was read by public men.' Dr. Benjamin Rush 'Have you read the pamphlet Common Sense? I never saw such a masterful performance.… In short, I own myself convinced, by the arguments, of the necessity of separation.' General Charles Lee )
