1989 Easton Press Edition

What a true first shows: The true first edition of Rights of Man was issued by J.S. Jordan, London: Part One 1791, Part Two 1792. This Easton Press leather volume is a modern collector's reprint, not a first edition of the work.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
