A very presentable two volume set. An important look at early Virginia plantation life, as lived by one of its prominent citizens. About LANDON CARTER (from the National Humanities Center): ******Born in August 1710 into one of the wealthiest planter families of Virginia, Landon Carter was landed gentry. Educated in London, Carter returned at age sixteen and learned plantation management from his father, Robert "King" Carter. At age twenty-two his father died, leaving him eight plantations, and he married the first of his three wives (all of whom died before 1758). As was the norm for Virginia gentry, Carter became involved in public affairs, as a justice of the peace, member of the county court, and later, commander of the militia. In 1752 he was elected to the Virginia legislature, the House of Burgesses. Carter's diary presents a close look at his life as a wealthy planter, herbalist doctor to his family and slaves, three time widower, father mourning his young daughter's death, and distressed farmer during seasons of drought.****** About LANDON CARTER (from Wikipedia): ******Colonel Landon Carter, b.1710 d.1778, was an American planter and politician from Lancaster County, Virginia. Although one of the most popular patriotic writers and pamphleteers of pre-Revolutionary and Revolutionary-era Virginia, he is today best known for his journal which described colonial life leading up to the American War of Independence: "The Diary Of Colonel Landon Carter.". The Special Collections Research Center at the College of William and Mary holds papers relating to Landon Carter.because of his importance in Virginia and the American colonies as a whole. Carter left his heirs 50,000 acres of land and as many as 500 slaves.****** I would LOVE to read the diaries of Carter's 500 slaves in order to really learn about the man Carter and the world he was helping create; but I doubt they were given any paper, pens, education, etc. etc. etc. Will oligarchs ever change.…

As issued, backed in publisher's cloth with cloth over boards; all plates are present as called for. A very nice set with a bit of minor shelfwear; the bottom edge of the textblocks have evidence of moisture exposure.

Despite this, it remains a very presentable copy of an uncommon and valuable historical reference. A lengthy introduction by the editor as well as a sizable 50-page index.…
