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.

Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Folded long tear through margin into text repaired on verso with old cello-tape. Very good. In the midst of a campaign for election as delegate to the 1850 Virginia Constitutional Convention Faulkner writes: "My name has been placed before you as a candidate of a seat in the approaching Convention of Virginia . here are my opinions on such points as I believe the voter may desire information: . extend the right of suffrage to every male citizen of mature years . in the apportionment of Representation in the General Assembly regard should be had to the white population exclusively three columns of explanation follows . election of the Governor by the people . one constitutional Court abolishing County Courts . officers of the state should be elected not appointed . one of the highest duties of a Republic is to supply every destitute child within its limits the means of a Primary education . I would prohibit the General Assembly from making any loans to or guaranteeing the bonds of incorporated companies. With Faulkner having won election to the convention three of his positions held sway after the voting: the Assembly-appointed Governor's Council was abolished and judges on various state courts would face election by an expanded electorate and property requirements for voting were abolished at several places in the address Faulkner expresses the need to consider the wishes of the residents of Western Virginia as being "as worthy of confidence" as those of Eastern Virginia. Faulkner 1806-1884 a native of Martinsburg Va. won office regularly to Virginia's General Assembly in the 1830s and 1840s advocating emancipation during the early years; he then served in the U.S. House of Representatives 1851-1859. During the Civil War Faulkner served as Assistant Adjutant General to Stonewall Jackson; following the war he was engaged in railroad enterprises and represented West Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives 1875-1877. <br/><br/> unknown books

'Limited to twenty-five copies privately printed for Stuart Wright December 1980.' - printed at bottom of broadside. 'Third edition or more likely second edition second impression. According to the colophon which now appears below Faulkner's text only 25 copies were printed. Stuart Wright whose name appears here is the owner of Palaemon Press the imprint on the earlier facsimile. We believe it is likely that this impression is from the same plate which produced the first two issues of Palaemon's facsimile of the beer broadside. here the impression is clearer because the finish on the paper is harder but the blemish in 'because' is obvious. We quote the limitations indicated in the colophon of each of these three facsimiles but do not care to vouch for them.' - from 'William Faulkner: The Carl Petersen Collection' Catalogue 48 Serendipity Books p.240.

198057156Winston-Salem NC: Palaemon Press 1980. Unbound. Fine. Facsimile edition. Broadside. Measuring 8" x 11". Fine. This is one of 26 hors commerce lettered copies of a total edition of 126. In 1944 Faulkner's hometown of Oxford outlawed beer. A few years later a letter from most of the town's clergymen appeared in the Oxford Eagle recommending an additional five year ban. Faulkner wrote a letter in response laconically enumerating errors of fact and chastising the clergymen for their position. As recounted in Blotner when the editor of the Eagle refused to publish it Faulkner had them print this broadside and he hand distributed it with the help of his brothers and their children. The local Baptist minister was outraged by the employment of youth for this purpose though they had observed the proprieties by handing it out at the back door of the Baptist Church while his Methodist counterpart received it in better humor allowing that "Bill Faulkner would know more about both beer and whiskey than we do." The ban was renewed by a vote of 480-313 and two months later the text of the broadside appeared in The New Yorker. A facsimile of one of the rarest and shortest of Faulkner's "A" items.

198075889Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. The original screenplay of the 1944 Howard Hawks film starring Humphrey Bogart Walter Brennan and Lauren Bacall which was based on Ernest Hemingway's 1937 novel of the same name.

198030649Madison WI: University of Wisconsin Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. book is tight and clean with no discernible wear; the jacket has shows only faint handling wear and some extremely minor edgewear. Wisconsin/Warner Bros. Screenplay Series Series B&W photographs Screenplay for the delightfully entertaining 1944 film that apocryphally sprang from director Howard Hawks's boast to Ernest Hemingway that he could "make a picture out of your worst story." Things are never quite that simple of course and editor Kawin ably traces the development of the project from book just barely to script to screen in a detailed and erudite introduction -- although as he explains not all the archival script material that might have been illuminating was available to him at the time of his research. Supplmenting the script itself are extensive notes detailing the differences between the script the second revised final script and the final film; these are particularly revealing of the extent to which the picture was still being written as it was being shot. It kills me that for this volume as with this entire series the publishers didn't see fit to include the names of the actual SCREENWRITERS on either the covers or the title pages of the books -- you've got to go all the way to the title page at the beginning of the script itself to find out that rather basic information -- with the result that most listed copies of this book give only Bruce Kawin as the "author." This is a shameful aspect of this otherwise most laudable series. . University of Wisconsin Press hardcover

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.<br /> <br /> "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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Cofield 55.
