Mr. Paine was no admirer of Washington and thus addresses him: "Elevated to the chair of the Presidency, you assumed the merit of everything to yourself; and the natural ingratitude of your constitution began to appear. You commenced your presidential career by encouraging and swallowing the grossest adulation; and you travelled America from one end to the other to put yourself in the way of receiving it. You have as many addresses in your chest as James the Second. As to what were your views, for you are not great enough to have ambition, though you are little enough to have vanity, they cannot be inferred from expressions of your own; but the partizans of your politics have divulged the secret." He also attacks the military skill of Washington. See Kennedy (P.) No 1152. Also, [Cobbett (W.)] No. 409. PAINE.

An Extensive Collection of Pamphlets Relating to that Celebrated Character. 5 vols., 8vo, balf gray calf. Uniform in size. v.p. v.d.] These volumes contain nearly forty contemporaneous publications, issued between the years 1788 and 1820, and directly relating to Thomas Paine, his conduct, character and writings. Many of them are rare, all are curious and interesting, and they throw much light upon the status and habits of that extraordinary man, and the degree of estimation in which he was held by his contemporaries. It would be difficult, even if it were possible, to make a similar assemblage now, at almost any cost. The pamphlets are severally in the finest condition, many of them uncut, and as a memorial of the man, whose pen, during the troublous times of the American revolution, was "mightier than the sword," they are of much interest and value. 7/21549 PALFREY (J.
