Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, an intellectual attack against the French Revolution, in which he argues that the Revolution will fail, due to its abstract foundation, drew several notable responses.  In addition to the responses of Priestley, Nares, and Dumouriez, bound here, Burke's work drew replies from Thomas Paine (The Rights of Man, 1791) and Mary Wollstonecraft (Vindication of the Rights of Man, 1790).
