Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rededication of the Paine Monument and Assignment of Its Custody to the City of New Rochelle: A Record of the Exercises and Report of the Speeches Delivered at the Monument, on Saturday, October 14th 1905
Moncure D. Conway began writing his Life of Paine upon the table used by Paine - on which he wrote his Rights of Man and his last work on Paine was written in Paris and finished in the house occupied by Paine during the French Revolution, and from which he wit messed the destruction of the Bastille, the key of which he presented to President Washington in Philadelphia.
Having placed in Independence Hall the original edi tions of Paine's pamphlets to keep in touch with his spirit, we conclude with this introduction: in the house which Paine occupied in New Rochelle and with the aid 'of a candle light in a candle-stick once used by Paine, *which candle-stick was a gift to me from Capt. G. W. Lloyd and which I in turn present to the Paine Museum.
It is hoped that the work done by our Associations will stimulate the residents of other cities where Paine's work was conspicuous or effective in good results to erect similar testimonials to his worth.
