* One of the major works of the Virginian John Taylor of Caroline (1753-1824). Little-known today, Taylor’s work is of great significance in the political and intellectual history of the South and is essential for understanding the constitutional theories that Southerners asserted to justify secession in 1861.  
Taylor fought in the Continental army during the American Revolution and served briefly in the Virginia House of Delegates and as a U.S. Senator. It was as a writer on constitutional, political, and agricultural questions, however, that Taylor gained prominence. He joined with Thomas Jefferson and other agrarian advocates of states’ rights and a strict construction of the Constitution in the political battles of the 1790s. His first published writings argued against Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton’s financial program.

It read, ‘If I should be missing, enquire of the Rev. Mr. Avery of Bristol - he will know where I am.’ This led authorities to arrest the Reverend Ephraim Avery and thus began one of the most sensational U.S. murder cases in the early nineteenth century.... An examination of Cornell’s body proved her to be five months pregnant, and it was then generally assumed that Avery was the father of the unborn child and that to hide his sexual indiscretions with Cornell he hanged the poor soul and passed off her death as a suicide.... In the end, Avery was acquitted for lack of solid evidence.” Nash, Encyclopedia of World Crime, p.189. Excellent reproduction of eight letters, some found in the victim’s trunk. McDade 39.
