The natural unity of liberty and virtue, a subject frequently examined in this journal, is the theme of several recent volumes from conservative presses.
One such is a near-forgotten classic of its kind, restored to us through the good offices of the Liberty Fund of Indianapolis and Professor M. E. Bradford of the University of Dallas. The work is John Taylor’s Arator, a book of agricultural-political homilies by the dean of Virginia strict-constructionists in the founding era and spiritual father to the Southern Agrarians of the 1930s (7440 N. Shadeland, Indianapolis, Ind. 46250; $9).
