Paine also used references to God, saying that a war against Great Britain would be a war with the support of God. Written in a language that the common person could understand, they represented Paine's liberal philosophy. The American Crisis series was used to "recharge the revolutionary cause." Paine, like many other politicians and scholars, knew that the colonists were not going to support the American Revolutionary War without proper reason to do so. The pamphlets were contemporaneous with early parts of the American Revolution, when colonists needed inspiring works. Paine signed the pamphlets with the pseudonym, "Common Sense". The first of the pamphlets was published in The Pennsylvania Journal on December 19, 1776. Thirteen numbered pamphlets were published between 17, with three additional pamphlets released between 17. The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, is a pamphlet series by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine, originally published from 1776 to 1783 during the American Revolution.

But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. The illustrations represent Derwentwater, in the Lake District, where Beatrix Potter spent her summer holiday for some time. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. However, when he gets to his families home, he decides not to ask his Aunt Josephine or other cousins Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-Tail where Peter is due to not being overly fond of them. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years.

Such was the fate of a passenger ahead of me in line for Spirit Air Flight 952, from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in the summer of 2013. Without the benefit of modern medicine rapidly administered, you’d be faced with a fifty–fifty chance of survival. It would only be after you’d shuffled down the plane’s aisles and found your lightly tattered upholstered seat that the stranger within would make itself known, in a deadly, explosive onslaught of excretion, and your trip overseas would be suddenly and cruelly curtailed. Even as the killer silently brewed in your gut, you’d push your bags through security, perhaps even pick up a croissant at the coffee shop and enjoy a brief respite in a cool molded-plastic chair at the gate before a crackly PA announced the boarding of your flight. You’d feel perfectly well enough to withstand the long queues there. You could drive over dusty, potholed roads to the airport. That’s why, even after being infected, you could, say, eat a decent breakfast at your hotel, of sunny-side-up eggs and tepid juice. Then half a day passes, and cholera has drained his or her body of its fluids, leaving a withered blue corpse. The newly infected person feels fine at first. There’s no drawn-out sequence of progressive debility. |
