Introductory Note
The "Farmers* Register" was a monthly magazine of 64 pages, edited
and published by Edmund Ruflln from June, 1833, to December, 1842. It
was the second agricultural periodical published in Virginia. The first
was the "Virginia Farmer," edited and published by Theodorick McRobert
at ScottSville.* A short time after the advent of the Register, the "Vir-
ginia Farmer" ceased publication. Mr. Ruffin published his magazine under
many difficulties. Although he had acquired a competence from farming
as the result of the most patient investigation and most efficient manage-
ment of the ancestral estate at Coggin's Point for the preceding twenty
years, yet he had to overcome a strong popular prejudice against "book
farming." Correspondents who were willing to write to him of farming
conditions in other parts of the State were few, and could not be depended
upon to write regularly. It was necessary therefore for him to prepare
many of the papers in the Register himself, and sign them with initials
that would not disclose the identity of the writer. In the N. F. Cabell
manuscripts relating to agriculture in Virginia (now in the Virginia State
Library), there is a list of all the anonymous authors in the ten volumes
of the Register. This list was compiled by Mr. Ruffin at the request of
Mr. Cabell. By means of this list, I have been able, in preparing this
analysis, to determine the authors' names of nearly all the unsigned or
anonymously signed articles. Mr. Cabell remarks that the large number
of papers he found that Mr. Ruffin had written, and which no one had sus-
pected were from his pen, was a distinct revelation to him. In addition to
original contributions by himself and other Southern correspondents, he
reprinted, occasionally, selected articles from American, British, and French
agricultural journals.
In preparing this analysis, I have included references only to original
contributions and to reprinted papers from southern periodicals.
The publisher made no money from the Register. He had undertaken
it with no thought of pecuniary profit, but hoped that it would at least
pay expenses. In order to be independent, he refueed all advertisements,
and would not use his editorial columns for "puffing" commercial projects
which he knew to be dishonest. He eschewed all reference to politics until
the volumes issued in 1841 and 1842. The intolerable burdens of the state
banking system as then administered, he could bear no longer without some
remonstrance. He spoke plainly and incisively. To his attitude at this
time may be due the loss of some of the patronage of the Register, which
he abandoned in December, 1842.
The "Farmers' Register" in its ten volumes is one of the most author-
itative sources we have for the study of agricultural and other economic
questions of the ante-bellum period in Virginia. And yet most students
and writers have entirely neglected it, preferring to examine and quote
the superficial and biassed accounts of travelers in Virginia, and the par-
tisan mis-statements of political speakers and newspaper editors. Mr.
Ruffin was I a hater of ignorance, of pretense, of self-satisfaction, whether
displayed i^ the Virginia farmer who refused to acknowledge that farming
could be written about, or in the northern agitator who believed that all
economic ills of Virginia could be traced to slavery. These characteristics,
coupled with his deep suspicion of professional politicians both north and
south, give the Register a marked individuality.
When only 18 years of age, in 1812, he began his career as a farmer.
A copy of John Taylor's "Arator" falling into his hands, he determined to
apply some of the principles therein taught, to the development of his
•See note on "The Virginia Farmer" by Alfred Morrison in the "William
and Mary College Quarterly," v. 23, p. 172. No copies of "The Virginia
Farmer" are known to be extant. Several numbers were issued, but how
many is not known.

estate at Coggin's Point on the James River. He found that he^ could not
apply Taylor's suggestions to his own farm, and not being content to stand
still or retrograde, he began to make experiments for himself. With the
aid of Davy's "Agricultural Chemistry/' he trained himself to be an original
investigator, and in a few years he had developed his theory of the need
of lime in the old soils of Virginia. He discovered on his farm, in the
beds of marl, that the estate could supply its own fertilizer. After more
experiments, he published the results of his observations in the "American
Farmer" in 1821, vol. 3, page 313. This was the first appearance of his
"Essay on Calcareous Manures,'* though the first edition did not appear in
book form till 1832. A second edition was published in 1835, a third in
1842, a fourth in 1844, and a fifth in 1852. In the estimation of students
of American agriculture, this work remains to-day one of the most exhaus-
tive and thorough studies ever made upon an agricultural subject by an
American writer. Though the use of marl in Eastern Virginia has been
abandoned, due to the higher cost of labor, and to the cheapness of com-
mercial fertilizer, no one denies that in Mr. Rufiiln's time his doctrine of
the use of marl was sound.* The revival and successful development of
Virginia agriculture in the period 1830-1860 was due as much to the use
of marl as to any one other cause. No better proof of the value of marl
can be found than the reports which Ruffln occasionally published of the
increased production of his own farms. One cannot read his "Farming
Profits in lEastern Virginia" in the "Southern Planter," v. 9, 1849, p. 226-237,
without deep admiration for his geniUs.

•It is interesting to observe that during the present war the United States
Department of Agriculture investigated the marl beds in Eastern Virginia
vvrith a view to advocating the use of marl both during and after the war.

BOOKS, PAPERS AND ADDRESSES BY EDMUND RUFFIN.
This list is far from exhaustive. It contains the titles of the principal
books and pamphlets by Ruffln, but lacks the titles of a good many papers and
addresses, published in the newspapers, and in agricultural periodicals to which
I have not had access. The titles of the many papers written by Ruffln and
printed in the Farmers' register, and which appear in the preceding analysis,
are not repeated here.
