1833713Winchester Va. 1833. Broadside 4to. 290 x 160 mm. 11 ¼ x 6 ¼ inches. Printed in two columns signed in type by Charles J. Faulkner at Winchester dated March 8 1833 at conclusion. Lightly dust-soiled pale stain affecting perhaps one-third of the left-hand margin and column of text. Neatly silked on verso. Withal about very good. Following the August 1831 Nat Turner rebellion in Southampton County a last effort was made by moderate Virginians to gradually abolish slavery. Faulkner a 26-year-old lawyer and assemblyman along with Thomas Jefferson Randolph sponsored legislation to free all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. His speech emphasized the evil of slavery for Southern white labor noting that slavery "converts the energy of the community into indolence--its power into imbecility--its efficiency into weakness.Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" As the Assembly was malapportioned in favor of the Tidewater slaveocracy the proposal lost rather narrowly and nearly thirty years later the Confederacy was assured of Virginia's succession. It is perhaps not surprising that Faulkner "comparatively a stranger" to the county but a member of the Virginia House of Delegates at this time 1831-34 was not successful in his campaign to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate. However Faulkner was elected to three terms in Congress from Virginia in the 1850s. He was elected to Congress from West Virginia after the Civil War. In the interim he served as Minister to France during the Buchanan administration and on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. Dictionary of American Biography. Not in Hummel.

1879132619Exeter: 1879. Exquisitely illuminated album commemorating the overturning of a miscarriage of justice Handsomely bound and illuminated presentation album one of just two copies presented to honour the work of solicitor and county clerk Ralph Sanders one of two men instrumental in reversing the miscarriage of justice in the case of Edmund Galley who became an international cause célèbre after being wrongfully convicted of murder and transported to Australia in 1836. On 28 July 1836 Edmund Galley alias "Dick Turpin" was tried at the Exeter assizes for the murder of one Jonathan May a wealthy farmer; Sanders was present at his trial. Convicted through mistaken identity he was first sentenced to death but a number of junior barristers convinced of Galley's innocence succeeded in commuting his sentence to life imprisonment. Galley spent two years incarcerated on the Ganymede a floating prison hulk on the Thames before being transported to Australia sailing on 12 May 1839 as one of 240 convicts aboard the Parkfield which docked in Port Jackson New South Wales on 1 September. Galley served over forty years of labour first as part of a chain gang assigned to work at Cooks River then as a farm servant to Thomas Waugh. In 1846 he became a ticket-of-leave man - allowed to seek another master on the proviso that he remained within a certain district and reported regularly to the police - and chose to settle in the Southern Tablelands. He worked as a horse driver for William Howell of Burrowa in the Yass District then as a farm servant for a Dr O'Brian of Illalong near the village of Binalong and finally as a shepherd in Bendinine employed by one of New South Wales's biggest farmers Henry Brown see Lambert p. 133. Extraordinarily Galley's case continued to garner international attention over the decades: newspapers in Australia New Zealand and even those in the United States and England - despite his far-flung exile - revisited the details of his trial and advocated his innocence. Moreover Galley's "excellent character" and status as "an upright man so impressed his employers. that they agitated" in his favour putting pressure on the English Home Office to revisit the case Australian Town and Country Journal 18 October 1879 p. 17. In May 1877 Galley sent a letter of petition to the Home Secretary which further excited public interest and which prompted Sanders and Latimer to take up his cause once more. Their efforts culminated in 1879 in a remarkable example of persistence in the pursuit of justice. Pardoned on 26 July 1879 Galley aged 80 received £1000 compensation for his unjust conviction. His free pardon was announced widely in the Australian press see the aforementioned Australian Town and Country Journal which included a stately full-length portrait of Galley alongside their article and The Sydney Morning Herald for 18 October 1879 as examples. In acknowledgement of the central part that both Sanders and Latimer played in procuring Galley's pardon "a number of young men in the city of Exeter determined to prepare and sign an Address expressing their appreciation of the efforts of these gentlemen and they quietly proceeded without the gentlemen concerned gaining the slightest inkling of what was intended until the movement was complete. Messrs. Latimer and Sanders were then asked to each accept a volume containing the addresses and the names as a Memento of Galley's release. The addresses were beautifully illuminated by Mr. F. Faulkner White and the names of the subscribers written by the same gentleman adorned the subsequent pages of the book. Each volume was handsomely bound by Mr. Henry Harris of Longbrook-street" The Daily Western Times 30 January 1880 and presented at the Athenaeum on Wednesday 28 January 1880 at a meeting of the subscribers which included persons of every class and political allegiance. Provenance: from the library of Richard S. Lambert author of the work presently offered with the Memento The Innocence of Edmund Galley.

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
