Hardcover. Condición: Good. Early reprint ("Fifteenth Thousand" as stated upon title page; first published 1851). 370 pages. Hardcover: H 19.5cm x L 13.25cm. Contemporary brown cloth; several black ink stains to boards and slightly sunned spine; bumping and slight wear at spine ends and board corners. Strong toning to pastedowns; three antiquarian ink inscriptions Port Gibson, Mississippi resident Samuel Briscoe, Esq. on front free endpaper with yet another on front flyleaf with those having some carry-through impressions onto successive title and Preface leaves; varied foxing (occasionally quite strong) throughout; several ink blots/stains obscuring some text on pages 119-120; top corners of pages 129-130 and 341-342 creased from past fold-down. Binding is firm. Preface by editor James Young who, as the title page notes, served as Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance in Kentucky. Features seventeen essays by various contributors including the renowned Dr. Daniel Drake of Cincinnati, and Methodist Episcopal Church theologian Reverend Thomas O. Summers. The book also has three notable Mississippi contributors: Reverend A.B. Longstreet of Oxford, twice president of University of Mississippi ("The Voice of Warning" - pages 41-60); Rev. William Winans of Woodville ("An O'er True Tale" - pages 113-118); and Rev. Philip P. Neely [Philip Phillips Neely] of Columbus ("Idella Pemberton, of the Prayer of Faith" - pages 291-298). As for the enthusiastic owner, a cemetery reference site notes a Samuel M. Briscoe (1849-1894) of Claiborne County, Mississippi and, although obviously only age 5 upon this book's publication, the penmanship and ink is certainly contemporary to 1850s-1870s.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thought-provoking collection of the author's stories with a moral. Written at a time when the traditional values of the American South were in decline, these stories explore the timeless human struggles of good versus evil, greed versus compassion, and the pursuit of justice in an unjust world. The author's keen eye for detail provides a vivid portrait of life in the American South during the early 1800s, a period of significant social and political change. Through the stories of everyday people grappling with their own moral dilemmas, the author raises fundamental questions about the nature of right and wrong and the importance of ethical conduct in society. Delving into themes of civic responsibility, the misuse of power, and the devastating consequences of pride and ambition, this book is a timeless exploration of human nature and the moral choices we face in our own lives.

The rare first edition of a classic of southern literature and manners, Georgia Scenes. is written in the form of a series of sketches set in frontier Georgia at the beginning of the 19th century. Although in fictional form, the book is such realistic social history that it presents one of the best pictures of life in that time and place, and straddles the line between fact and fiction. Longstreet said that his purpose was "to supply a chasm in history which has always been overlooked - the manners, customs, amusements, wit, dialect, as they appear in all grades of society to an ear and eye witness of them.there is scarcely one word from the beginning to the end of the book that is not strictly GEORGIAN." The book stands at the beginning of a long line of southern humor. Goodspeed's bought the Streeter copy for $375 in 1967. HOWES L448, "b." STREETER SALE 1168. DE RENNE I, p.445. GEORGIANA 28.
