Additional Details

This edition is recorded in Gimbel's Common Sense checklist as CS-66, with the hypothesis that it may have actually been printed in Dublin. Its source was apparently a 1776 English edition, with several mentions of the King or England rendered in dashes to avoid trouble with the law--certainly not a concern in 1791 Philadelphia.
