- Notes:
- This is apparently the second issue of the French version of the Age of reason. According to Lanthenas, the work was written in the early part of 1793, and his translation of it published in the spring of the same year. It was disapproved of by Couthon and so effectually suppressed that an entry for it appears in Quérard, where the title is given as L'âge de la raison. cf. Paine, T. Writings, ed. by M. D. Conway, New York, 1894-95, v. 4, p. 1-3.
