Produced by Mark C. Orton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Journal and Letters of Philip Vickers Fithian" is a historical account edited by Hunter Dickinson Farish, likely written in the late 18th century. This work chronicles the experiences and observations of Philip Vickers Fithian, a Princeton-educated tutor who served the Carter family at the "Nomini Hall" plantation in Virginia during a critical period leading up to the American Revolution. The narrative delves into Fithian's reflections on plantation life, his interactions with the Carter family, and his perspectives on societal issues of the time, including slavery and the growing tensions with Britain. The beginning of this work sets the stage for Fithian's journey to Virginia, highlighting his background and the significant transitions he undergoes as he leaves New Jersey and arrives at the expansive estate of the Carters. It outlines the vibrant plantation environment he encounters, filled with social gatherings, cultural refinement, and the complexities of life in a slaveholding society. Fithian's entries reveal both his admiration for the genteel lifestyle and his inner struggles with the moral implications of the plantation economy, establishing a nuanced exploration of the historical context in which he lived. The opening invites readers to engage with Fithian's vivid descriptions and personal reflections, promising insight into a bygone era through the eyes of an astutely observant young man.
