22. James H. Hammond, An Address Delivered before the South-Carolina Institute, at Its First Annual Fair, on the 20th November, 1849 (Charleston, SC: Walker & James, 1849). (56 p.)

Address promoting the industrialization of South Carolina by foretelling the benefits that would accrue if the State followed Great Britain’s example. Mr. Stone has underlined this passage on page 31. “There is no question, but that our slaves might, under competent overseers, become efficient and profitable operatives in our factories. It may be of much consequence to us, that this fact has been fully tested, and is well known and acknowledged, as it would give use, under all circumstances, a reliable source.”
