As Paine's friend and fellow reformer, Thomas Clio Rickman (1761-1834) paints a sympathetic portrait of the influential political activist in this 1819 biography. Though not hiding Paine's known egoism, Rickman presents it alongside the better qualities of a man who did not merely 'live amid great events ... he created them'.
