Dr. Kevin R. Hardwick, associate professor of history at James Madison
University, will deliver the tenth Annual Governor Henry Lecture at the
Library of Virginia at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, November 16, and at
Hampden-Sydney College at 4:30 PM on Wednesday, November 17. 

His lecture is entitled "Partners in Patriotism: Patrick Henry, George
Mason, and the Virginia Ratification Debate of 1788." His lecture
explores the relationship of Patrick Henry and George Mason over a
quarter of a century, from the struggle for independence through the
drafting of the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the ratification of
the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.  

Hardwick earned his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland and is currently
writing a book about the Virginia Convention of 1788. His published
works include Virginia Reconsidered: New Histories of the Old Dominion,
Classics of American Political and Constitutional Thought, and Patrick
Henry: Economic, Domestic, and Political Life in Eighteenth-Century
Virginia.

The Annual Governor Henry Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Patrick
Henry Memorial Foundation, the Library of Virginia, and Hampden-Sydney
College. The lectures are open to the public at no charge. Free parking
is available, and a reception follows each event.

The Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation (www.PatrickHenry.com) owns and
operates Red Hill, the patriot's last home and burial place overlooking
the Staunton River in Charlotte County, Virginia. The Library of
Virginia (www.lva.virginia.gov) holds the world's most extensive
collection of material about the Old Dominion and has been a steward of
the commonwealth's documentary and printed heritage since 1823. Founded
in 1775 as a private liberal arts college for men, Hampden-Sydney
College (www.hsc.edu) is the tenth oldest in the United States.
