Notes

No publisher given on frontispiece, only "Chez les marchands des nouveautés".

Appears to be a completely new translation of the W.Adlard edition supervised by Paine.

For a detailed account of the history of this text, see Brent Ranalli, "Thomas Paine's "neglected" pamphlet: Agrarian Justice", in Journal for the Study of Radicalism, vol.14, no.1 (spring 2020).

For the differences between this and the other translation, see Yannick Bosc’s presentation, 'Thomas Paine, La justice agraire opposée a la loi et monopole agraire, ou plan d’amélioration du sort des hommes' (2017, Tracés. Revue de Sciences humaines, 33, http://traces.revues.org/7053). For an explanation of why two French translations appeared almost simultaneously, see Yannick Bosc, "Agrarian Justice: genesis of the text, editions, translations, French reception" (Oct 2018, 3rd International Conference on Thomas Paine Studies).
