1832838671832. FAULKNER Charles. The Speech of Charles Jas. Faulkner of Berkeley in the House of Delegates of Virginia on the Policy of the State with Respect to Her Slave Population. Delivered January 20 1832. Richmond: Thomas W. White 1832. 22 1pp. Disbound. Tanned and foxing throughout else very good. Haynes 5925. SWEM 1707. Davis 8. Sabin 23926n. A remarkable anti-slavery speech delivered on the floor of the Virginia state legislature by Representative Charles Faulkner. The previous year Nat Turner had led the slave insurrection in Southampton County Virginia profoundly realizing the worst nightmares of southern slave owners and the incident sparked the last effort in the South to abolish slavery. Faulkner from what would later become West Virginia led the fight in alliance with Thomas Jefferson's grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph to pass a bill that would have freed all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. Had Faulkner succeeded Virginia and other southern border states would have been unlikely candidates for secession. The bill had much support but it eventually failed 73-58 owing in part to the malapportionment of the Virginia legislature in favor of Tidewater slave owners. Faulkner's stirring speech emphasized slavery's evil for whites: "It is an evil - it is an institution which presses heavily against the best interests of the state. It banishes free white labor - it exterminates the mechanic - the artizan - the manufacturer.It converts the energy of a community into indolence - its power into imbecility - its efficiency into weakness. Sir being thus injurious have we not a right to demand its extermination Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" A scarce and important document of anti-slavery sentiment in the South thirty years before secession. Only two market occurrences ever recorded. unknown

The best known work of the early 20th-century American master of stream-of-consciousness first conceived with the image of a girl in a pear tree. Through fits and starts Faulkner gradually composed it in four different parts each written in a different style to reflect the perspective of that narrator with the last and easiest to understand in 3rd person.

Complete with author's signature on the limitation page. A Near Fine copy of the book with the spine a bit faded and a previous owner's stamp on the half-title otherwise a very pleasing copy. Lacking the publisher's acetate jacket but with a new mylar.<br /> <br /> Personal responsibility and the fall of Old Southern gentility take center stage in Faulkner's The Unvanquished. Set in Mississippi and spanning the Civil War and Reconstruction the story follows the Sartoris family and their attempt to maintain a sense of identity as the nation changes. "Having chosen warfare as the exciting backdrop for The Unvanquished Faulkner writes of it well. By the time of the fall of Vicksburg when the novel begins the Confederate defeats at Shiloh and Corinth had opened northern Mississippi to the Federal armies.the border region of north Mississippi was overrun by both the Union and Confederate armies but controlled by neither" Brown. In this chaos the protagonist Bayard Sartoris grows from naïve boy to a young man with a greater understanding of the violent tensions that class and race can cause both for individuals and their communities.
