To: William B. Ryan and a few friends on several mail lists Good Day, Bill, You made my day with your 99-11-29 post to list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> stating that Thomas Paine's 1797 "Agrarian Justice" was archived at URL <http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/7018/social-security/paine4.html> . The copy I have relied on for many years, in Vol. I of "A Treasury Of American Literature," did not include Paine's "Author's Inscription - French Edition," nor his "Author's English Preface," nor the concluding "MEANS FOR CARRYING THE PROPOSED PLAN INTO EXECUTION, AND TO RENDER IT AT THE SAME TIME CONDUCIVE TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST." Two hundred years of hard experience have not added very much to what he said in "Agrarian Justice" and in his 1792 "The Rights Of Man, Part Second." Thanks again, Bill, for bringing this URL to our attention. Kind Regards, Wesburt
