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.

To a Co-Ed" in Ole Miss. The Yearbook of the University of Mississippi. Volume XXIV

19204386Oxford Mississippi 1920. First edition. Embossed sheep over card stamped in gilt to front board. Marbled endpapers. A bit of rubbing and shelfwear to covers; spine cracked and several signatures loose but in all holding well. Ownership stamp to front pastedown. Internally a pleasing example with minimal wear and no marking. A Fine copy of this scarce piece which does not appear in the auction record and of which there is no other example on the market; the present yearbook contains Faulkner's first literary appearance in book form his poem To a Co-Ed page 174. "The Ole Miss annuals have a particularly treasurable quality about them; they breathe with the life of Faulkner's first creativity.which annuals to collect may seem a question of some complexity when all the choices are considered" Petersen. After all they show a young man engaging with peers imagining a career in art and testing out new facets to his identity. But the 1919-1920 annual stands out. To a Co-Ed was "his first literary appearance and his second published poem" Petersen. In it one gets a sense of the canon Faulkner learned during his time as a student -- references to major figures from the Iliad and the Divine Comedy abound. And while he has not yet tapped into the stream-of-consciousness that would mark his mature style such allusions would appear in these adult works repackaged and reimagined in the South. While original works by Faulkner would appear in later yearbooks the present is a landmark first. In addition to Faulkner's verse the yearbook allows a glimpse into his active campus life. He contributes drawings that appear on pages 20 105 145 155 and 157. He appears in the membership photographs for the Ole Miss staff and with the local American Legion post. Under the name Count William Falkner sic his name is listed in the membership of the Freshman Literary Class as well as under William Faulkner as a Special Student. Cofield 55. Daniel 19. Massey 75.
