BLAKE, THE ARTIST, AND Tom PAINE.--111 1792
the artist proved, as he was wont to relate, the
means of saving Paine from the vindictive clutches of ex-
i asperated "friends of order." Early in that year Paine
had published his second part of " The Rights of Man."
A few months later,
,c.ounty and corporation addresses
against "seditious publications" were got up. The Go-
vernment (Pitt's) answered the agreed signal by issuing a
proclamation condemnatory of such publications, and
commenced an action for libel against the author of " The
Rights of Man," which was to come off in September - all
this helping the book itself into immense circulation. 9
The "Friends of Liberty " held their meetings too, in
which strong language was used, In September, a
French
deputation announced to Paine that the Department of
Calais had elected him member of the National Conven-
tion. Already as an acknowledged cosmopolitan and
friend of man,
he had been declared a citizen of
France by the deceased Assembly. Oce day in this
same month, Paine was giving at Johnson's an idea
of the inflammatory eloquence he had poured forth at a
public meeting of the previous night. Bloke, who was pre-
ecnt, silently interred from the tenor of his report that those
in power, now eager to lay hold of noxious persons, would
certainly not let slip such an opportunity. Oa Paine's
tieing to leave, Blake laid his hands on the orator's shoulder?,
saying, "You must nut go home, or you arc a dead man I"
and hurried him oil on his way to France, whither he was
now, in any cane bound, to take his seat as French legisla-
tor. By the time Paine was at Dover, the officers were in
his house, or, as his biogeapher Mr. Cheetharn
designates
it, his "lurking hole in the purlieus of London;" and some
90 minuted after the Custom House officials at Dover had
turned his slender baggage with, as he thought, extra
malice, and he had set sail for Calais, an order was received
from the Home-office to detain him. 'England never saw
Tom Paine again, New perils awaited him :
,reign of terror
and near view of the guillotine—an accidentally open dcor
and a chalk mark on the wrong side of it proving his salve-
!ic,n. But ano less serious coo had been narrowly escaped
from the English Tories. Those were hanging days I
Blake, on this occasion, showed greater sagacity than
Paine, whom, indeed, Fuseli affirmed to be more ignorant
of the common affairs of life than himself even. Spite of
unworldliness and visionary faculty, Blake never wanted
for prudence and sagacity in ordinary tuatters,—Vidaist $
