A propos de cet article

This two volume set presents the writings of Edmund Pendleton of Caroline County, Virginia. While the two volumes are complete in regard to containing Pendleton's writings, these are Volumes 7 and 8 of the open numbered series "Virginia Historical Society Documents", issued under the imprint "Published for the Virginia Historical Society by the University Press of Virginia". Edmund Pendleton was a lawyer, burgess, Revolutionary moderate, and judge. He sat in the House of Burgesses, served in the First and Second Continental Congresses, chaired Virginia?s Committee of Safety in 1775, presided over the 1776 convention that moved Virginia toward independence, helped Jefferson and Wythe revise the state code, and later led the 1788 ratifying convention and the Court of Appeals. He favored reconciliation longer than Henry, then the Constitution. Editor Mays had already written the standard life, "Edmund Pendleton, 1721?1803: A Biography" (Harvard, 1952). These set is NOT his biography. THESE two volumes are the documentary companion, whose aim is to present Pendleton's writings, (other than his published judicial opinions), "as completely and accurately as possible" as Mays writes in the preface. It is a sourcebook, NOT a narrative. It can be read for Pendleton?s own voice on Virginia?s break with Britain, state-making, and early federal politics, and for the business of a planter-lawyer.ABOUT THIS SET: Both volumes are bound in matching two toned purple and gray linen with gilt lettering on the cover and spine. Both volumes contain a frontispiece in black and white. Continuously paginated from Volume I through Volume II. Each copy measures 10 inches tall x 7 inches wide x 1.25 inches thick. On a shelf, the volumes span 2.5 inches. -Volume I: Contains preface, editorial note, abbreviations, and chronology along with Pendleton's writings from March 14, 1734 through November 19, 1781. xxvii, 377 pp. - Volume II: Contains abbreviations and chronology, along with Pendleton's writings from December 3, 1781 through August 10, 1803. Also contains bibliography. Indexed. xiii, unnumbered introductory pages, 381-753 pp.CONDITION: A beautiful, near fine, two volume set with only very minor shelfware. Very nice indeed. Full refund if not satisfied. …

Description de la boutique

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
