Title: Solid study of a unique American figure
Review: Randolph is the shining example of a long dead brand of American conservatism. These conservatives refused to build their political theory on the metaphysical rights of man, the driving force of Jefferson and the American Revolution. Instead, their opinions were shaped by the belief that the way of life embodied by the wealthy southern landowner was inherently good and should be protected. Their insistence on a weak national government, their defense of slavery and their advocacy of a limited franchise were all motivated by their belief that this way of live deserved to be preserved. They lost of course, to the benefit of thousands of people, but at the expense of the only thing that ever resembled a noble class in America. Their ideas deserve recognition and Kirk does a fine job relating the core of Randolph's thought. The lengthy and worthwhile appendix of Randolph's speeches and letters is worth even more than Kirk's fine analysis, however.
