Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation.It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history. As of 2006, it remains the all-time best-selling American title and is still in print today.

Dale Ahlquist, the President of the American Chesterton Society, and author of G. K. Chesterton -The Apostle of Common Sense, presents a book of wonderful insights on how to look at the whole world through the eyes of Chesterton. Since, as he says, Chesterton wrote about everything, there is an ocean of his material to benefit from GKC's insights on a kaleidoscope of many important topics. Chesterton wrote a hundred books on a variety of themes, thousands of essays for London newspapers, penned epic poetry, delighted in detective fiction, drew illustrations, and made everyone laugh by his keen humor. Everyone who knew Chesterton loved him, even those he debated with. His unique writing style that combines philosophy, spirituality, history, humor, and paradox have made him one of the most widely read authors of modern times. As Ahlquist shows in his engaging volume, this most quoted writer of the 20th century has much to share with us on topics covering politics, art, education, wonder, marriage, fads, poetry, faith, charity and much more.

Excerpt from Ventures in Common Sense While the editor was arguing angrily with a number of men about the iniquity of the circus, and the men were laughing merrily, I told Jim I intended to make a sneak, and see the circus, if I died for it. J im was a good boy, and warned me not to, but when he saw I was determined, be accompanied me in the wild run we made for liberty. When we reached the street, we found the circus had not yet arrived, so we set out with a number of other boys to meet it. We knew it was to come in on The F alls road; every boy knew that, somehow, so we travelled that way until we became suspicious, and turned back. Reaching town, tired and hungry, we found the circus had arrived by another road, and that the parade, 'and the afternoon performance, were over.

Excerpt from Common Sense a Common Delusion: Or, the Generally-Received Notions of Natural Causes, Religion, Deity, Virtue, &C Candid Reader, I Do assure thee, that what is here said, is out of a sincere Regard to the Cause of Truth and Virtue, and not with any malicious Intention to stain the Character of Mr. Pope, for with the fame Spirit that I have exposed the false Notions of the Poet, I could have eulogized and commended the Man, had it lain in my Way. For, as I declare myself, I am indeed, a Heathen, and of no Party, and therefore not against Mr. Pope nor any of his Friends.
