ellauri146.html on line 832: Paine kasvoi Thetfordissa Norfolkin kreivikunnassa yksinkertaisissa oloissa. Vuoteen 1750 saakka hän kävi viisi vuotta paikkakunnan kansakoulua. 12-vuotiaana hänet erotettiin koulusta ja sen jälkeen hän oppi isänsä luona korsetintekijäksi. Tätä ammattia hän harjoitti kaksitoista vuotta. 30-vuotiaana eli vuonna 1762 Thomas pääsi verovirkailijaksi (excise officer) Granthamiin. Kolmen vuoden virassaolon aikana hänet erotettiin kaksi kertaa väärinkäytösten takia ja lopullisesti vuonna 1765.
ellauri322.html on line 43: Paine was born in Thetford, Norfolk and emigrated to the British American colonies in 1774 with the help of Benjamin Franklin, arriving just in time to participate in the American Revolution. Paine fled to France in September, and despite not being able to speak French, il est élu député à l’Assemblée nationale en 1792. Considéré par les Montagnards comme un allié des Girondins, il est progressivement mis à l’écart, notamment par Robespierre, puis emprisonné en décembre 1793.
ellauri322.html on line 51: Thomas Paine est né en 1737 à Thetford, une bourgade du Norfolk en Angleterre. Son père, Joseph Pain, est quaker et sa mère, Frances Cocke Pain, anglicane. Malgré les affirmations selon lesquelles Thomas aurait changé l'orthographe de son nom de famille lors de son émigration en Amérique en 1774, il utilisait "Paine" déja en 1769, alors qu'il était encore à Lewes, dans le Sussex. Il grandit dans un milieu rural modeste et quitte l'école à l'âge de douze ans. Sa formation intellectuelle est donc celle d'un autodidacte. Grâce à cela, sa pensée simple et son style concis et clair ont fait de lui une arme efficace de propagande.
ellauri322.html on line 182: Godwin syntyi Wisbechissä Isle of Elyn saarella Cambridgeshiren osavaltiossa John ja Anne Godwinille, ja hänestä tuli seitsemäs vanhempiensa 13 lapsesta. Godwinin perhe oli molemmin puolin keskiluokkaa ja hänen vanhempansa noudattivat tiukkaa kalvinismin muotoa . Godwinin äiti oli kotoisin varakkaasta perheestä, mutta hänen setänsä kevytmielisyyden vuoksi perheen omaisuus meni hukkaan. Perheen onneksi hänen isänsä oli menestyvä kauppias, joka osallistui balttikauppaan. Pian Williamin syntymän jälkeen hänen isänsä John, nonkonformistinen ministeri , muutti perheen Debenhamiin Suffolkiin ja myöhemmin Guestwickiin Norfolkissa, jolla oli radikaali historia pyöreäpäiden linnoituksena Englannin sisällissodan aikana.

On 1 February, Emma made a spectacular appearance at a concert at the house of the Duke of Norfolk in St James' Square, and Emma worked hard to keep the press onside.
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 346: By the autumn of the same year, upon Emma's advice, Nelson bought Merton Place, a small ramshackle house at Merton, near Wimbledon, for £9,000, borrowing money from his friend Davison. He gave her free rein with spending to improve the property, and her vision was to transform the house into a celebration of his genius. There they lived together openly, with Sir William and Emma's mother, in a ménage à trois that fascinated the public. Emma turned herself to winning over Nelson's family, nursing his 80-year-old father Edmund for 10 days at Merton, who loved her and thought of moving in with them, but could not bear to leave his beloved Norfolk. Emma also made herself useful to Nelson's sisters Kitty (Catherine), married to George Matcham, and Susanna, married to Thomas Bolton, by helping to raise their children and to make ends meet. Nelson's sister-in-law Sarah (married to William), also pressed him for assistance and favours, including the payment of their son Horatio's school fees at Eton. Also around this time, Emma finally told Nelson about her daughter Emma Carew, now known as Emma Hartley, and found that she had had nothing to worry about; he invited her to stay at Merton and soon grew fond of "Emma's relative". An unpublished letter shows that Nelson assumed responsibility for upkeep of young Emma at this time.

Nelson's father became seriously ill in April, but Nelson did not visit him in Norfolk, staying home to celebrate Emma's 37th birthday on the very day Edmund died; the son did not attend his father's funeral.
