Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Octavo, 255pp., plus Index to Testimony at rear. A very good copy in the publisher's brown blind-tooled cloth, with gilt spine, which reads "Harper's Ferry Invasion." Mild wear to extremities, and very light foxing, but a sound, clean copy. A notable association copy, bearing this pencil inscription on the front free endpaper: "Saml. Hanson, Jnr. 1861 Jan 18/61 from Jefferson Davis, Esq. Senator from Mississippi." Though someone has pencilled the word "autograph" above the inscription, the inscription is clearly in Hanson's hand, and cerrtainly does not contain Davis's autograph. Nevertheless it appears that this copy of Virginia Senator James Murray Mason's report on the Harper's Ferry raid was given from Davis to Hanson, and at a very busy moment in Davis's career. On January 6, 1861, Mississippi had seceded from the Union. Davis remained in his senate seat until the 21st, when he received official notification of secession. Thus, on the day he gave the book to Hanson, he was just three days away from resignigng his seat. We have not been able to identify Hanson. John Brown's brazen and heroic raid on Harper's Ferry was viewed by southerners as a serious provocation, and no doubt Davis's firm pro-slavery views would have informed his reading of this text, drifting him further and further towards secession. The bookplate of esteemed book collector Philip Greely Brown is affixed to the front paste-down.

ALS, 1 page. In Very Good condition. A one-page letter accompanied by its original envelope bearing a Washington, D.C. postmark and addressed to Dr. F. C. Randolph. Letter discusses the fate of Virginia at the onset of the Civil War. Letter shows gentle age-toning and light crease folds. The envelope exhibits scattered foxing and a 2 in. x 1 in. open tear to the upper flap. RW Consignment. Shelved at Rockville, Room A, General Ephemera Part 2. James Murray Mason (November 3, 1798 - April 28, 1871) was an American lawyer and politician who became a Confederate diplomat. He served as U.S. Senator from Virginia for fourteen years, having previously represented Virginia's 15th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Frederick County in the Virginia House of Delegates. In this powerful letter written from the Senate chamber just days before Lincoln's inauguration, Senator James M. Mason reflects on the inevitability of secession and the futility of compromise. Explaining that an injured hand allows him only a short note, Mason nonetheless outlines the crisis with stark clarity: "There is no doubt that confederation is permanent - Those states will never return to this session. the ultimate question to Virginia must be - will the State go south, or remain with the free states? On this I have no doubt how Va. will decide. Today the better opinion is, the peace conference will, or can, do nothing." The recipient, Dr. Frederick C. Randolph (1815-1891) of Millwood, Clarke County, Virginia, was a physician and member of the prominent Randolph family of the Shenandoah Valley. His residence and practice placed him within Virginia's secessionist elite; the accompanying envelope is addressed to him at Millwood, confirming this identification. Mason himself was one of the leading pro-secession voices in Virginia. A staunch defender of slavery and Southern rights, he had authored the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act and by early 1861 was among the strongest advocates for Virginia's alignment with the Deep South. Just months after writing this letter, Mason would resign his Senate seat and be appointed a Confederate commissioner to Britain and France. His mission abroad became the focus of the international crisis known as the Trent Affair (November 1861), when the U.S. Navy seized Mason and fellow commissioner John Slidell from a British mail steamer en route to Europe. The incident nearly provoked war between the United States and Great Britain before the Lincoln administration released the envoys in December. This letter, written at the height of the secession winter, captures Mason's conviction that the "peace conference" (the last-ditch effort to avert war, then meeting in Washington) would fail, and his certainty that Virginia would inevitably join the Confederacy. In hindsight, his words foreshadow both the collapse of compromise and his own central role in the Confederacy's diplomatic efforts abroad. 1402278. Special Collections - Upstairs. Signed.
