John Randolph of Roanoke--Roanoke being the name of his home in
Charlotte County, Virginia--is unique in American political
history. Only twenty-six when first elected to Congress in 1799, he
readily became the most forceful figure at the Capitol. An
incomparable orator, he was also, in the observation of Dumas
Malone, "a merciless castigator of iniquity." For most of his
public career Randolph was a leader of the opposition--to both
Jeffersonians and Federalists. He was, writes Russell Kirk,
"devoted to state rights, the agricultural interest, economy in
government, and freedom from foreign entanglements." Above all
things Randolph cherished liberty, and he famously declared, "I
love liberty; I hate equality. "This fourth edition incorporates
the corrections and modest revisions provided by the author shortly
before his death in 1994. Among the new material is a transcription
of the first-hand account of Randolph's death that relates
information long deemed apocryphal. The account is by Dr. Joseph
Parrish, who was at Randolph's side when he died in 1833. Russell
Kirk (1918-1994) was the author of some thirty books, including
"The Conservative Mind, " and was one of the seminal political
thinkers of the twentieth century.
