Mine is paineite at gmail dot com. <BR/><BR/>Here's a copy of my email draft:<BR/><BR/>Hi Dave, first let me say what incredibly fantastic work you have done.<BR/>Your philosophy websites are truly fabulous.<BR/><BR/>A point of scholarship and, if I may add, truth:<BR/>Thomas Paine did not author "An Occasional Letter on the Female Sex."<BR/>Foner and just about every other Paine compiler have<BR/>included it, so that his authorship is widely accepted these<BR/>days ... though patently erroniously so. It is an excerpt of:<BR/>Antoine-Léonard's Essai sur les femmes (Paris, 1772),<BR/><BR/>Historian Frank Smith proved this beyond the whisper of<BR/>a doubt back in 1935. Here's the citation:<BR/><BR/> * The Authorship of "An Occasional Letter on the Female Sex"<BR/> * Frank Smith<BR/> * American Literature, Vol. 2, No. 3 (Nov., 1930), pp. 277-280<BR/><BR/>Hope we can stay in touch.<BR/>Here's my latest (still in production)<BR/><BR/>http://www.pickeringchatto.com/major_works/thomas_paine_and_america_1776_1809<BR/><BR/>With best wishes<BR/><BR/>Ken Burchell<BR/>www.tompaine.org<BR/><BR/>ps. btw, sure could use a volunteer to update and<BR/>augment my website. I have a FANTASTIC archive<BR/>of Paine's works that is paginated to Foner, Conway<BR/>and vander Weyde collections but NO TIME to get it<BR/>up online. Know anyone with a passion for Paine and<BR/>some time on their hands?? 8^)Kenneth W.
