About this Item

Greenville, S.C.: Shannon & Co., Printers, 1889. Printed at head of title page: "With Respects of Mrs. Governor B.F. Perry." [4], iii, [1], 397, [3] pages, plus frontispiece and one plate. Original black cloth stamped in gold on spine and in blind on covers. [23.4 cm.] Ex-Sondley Reference Library with faint evidence of removed call number at base of spine, tasteful bookplate on front pastedown, embossed stamp on title page and plates, and number stamp on verso of title and in margin of one other leaf. Else about very good. Light wear to spine ends and corners; small nick to edge of front board; spine a little faded; some faint speckling to cloth. Just a little foxing to first and last few leaves. FIRST EDITION. This is a posthumously published successor volume to Perry's "Reminiscences of Public Men" (1883). As in the earlier volume, there are memoirs of a number of prominent politicians (44 sketches in all), but a substantial portion of this book (pp. 199-383) contains Perry's historical essays and speeches, dealing with the nullification movement, secession, his governorship, etc. Benjamin Franklin Perry (1805-1886), a noted South Carolina Unionist, was a state legislator, newspaper editor, and governor of his state in 1865. Although he was a leading voice against secession in the years before the Civil War, he served South Carolina under the Confederacy as a state representative and district judge. Turnbull IV, p. 271.
