Extracts from Rights of Man: Being an Answer to Mr. Burke’s Attack on the French Revolution, London, 1791, pp. 18–20, 52–55

Mr. Burke does not attend to the distinction between men and principles, and therefore he does not see that a revolt may take place against the despotism of the latter, while there lies no charge of despotism against the former.
