Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Joel Chandler Harris' "A Rainy Day With Uncle Remus," first appearance in print, complete in three installments in this 1881 bound volume of Scribner's Monthly, which six-month bound volume is in very good condition in an early half-leather binding over handsome marbled boards, showing four raised bands and bright gilt titling to spine, with hinges in no need of repair. These humorous Uncle Remus tales in rural Southern dialect feature Runt the Pig, Benjermun Ram, and Mr. Terrypin, though of course the primary characters are the redoubtable Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit -- who were to become the stars of the 1946 animated/live action Disney film "Song of the South." The Remus tales are unfortunately not illustrated here, though the volume otherwise features plentiful B&W engravings. Also in this volume we find essays on Thomas Carlyle and his work by Ralph Waldo Emerson and George Saintsbury; lengthy essays (profusely illustrated) on the Wild Sheep of the Sierra and the Coniferous Forests of the Sierra Nevada by John Muir; a piece by Robert Fulton concerning his "Experiments in Submarine Gunnery" (from his previously unpublished ms.), a poem by Emma Lazarus condemning a Russian assassination, and essays on the New England lobster fishery by William H. Bishop and on the Cajun settlement Petite Anse, Louisiana, by Allen C. Redwood. This volume now reduced from $34.
