About this product
Product Information
Edmund Ruffin (794-1865) is remembered as an innovative American agriculturalist and pioneer in soil chemistry- and as an advocate of Southern secession.Here, published for the first time, are the two surviving volumes of Ruffin's manuscript memoirs, written in 1851 with additions in 1853 and 1855. Unlike Ruffin's diaries begun four years later, Incidents of My Life presents the public man, the Ruffin he wanted outsiders and posteriy to see. The volumes recount his career as a scientific farmer, his writing of An Essay on Calcareous Manures, his editing of the Farmers' Register, and the beginnings of his involvement in reform movements in the 1850s.His recollections were intended as a moral record for his heirs, focusing on himself as a good example. Also included are Ruffin's memoirs of his two daughters who died in 1855 and, as an appendix, his account of the death of his mentor, Thomas Cocke, which are useful sources for mid-nineteenth-century social history.

The receiver was packed carefully and efficiently. The item was as described, which means it really did not work or produce sound. This is no more than what the Seller led me to expect. Relatively nice looking case. One speaker terminal (main) was broken. I believe this unit has the potential to be a nice little receiver. The Seller was great with communication. The unit was shipped quickly and the price was great. Great Seller to work with (even though not a UVA grad - kidding).
