Harris, a white Southern journalist, collected these folktales from enslaved and formerly enslaved African Americans on Georgia plantations. Serialized in newspapers across the United States, the tales proved hugely popular and this first edition was a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic. The books were responsible for compounding racist stereotypes and disseminating them across generations of readers, as well as portraying a rosy picture of the American South. At the same time, Harris was the first folklorist to make a serious effort to preserve Southern black oral traditions and his books are an important resource for ethnologists and contemporary writers attempting to reconstruct traditional folktales.BAL 7100.

Hardcover. Early Edition. Decorated blue cloth. GROLIER AMERICAN HUNDRED 83. Illustrated with 8 plates and text engravings by Frederick S. Church and James Moser. While not a First Edition (1882), this copy has a wonderful SIGNED AUTOGRAPH QUOTATION on the front endpaper: "'Oh, don't stay long -- Oh, don't stay late--/Let it be a long ways ter de Goodbye Gate!'/Joel Chandler Harris/West End, Atlanta:/15 May, 1891." While this quote has been reported to come from UNCLE REMUS, it in fact is from a Southern ballad, a Corn-husking song titled "Round It Up A Heap It Up": "Round it up a heap it up a Round it up a corn, A joog-a-loa./De big owl hoot and cry for his mate, My honey, my love!/Oh, don't stay long, oh, don't stay late./It ain't so fur to de goodbye gate." In the book "UNCLE REMUS," JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS AS SEEN AND REMEMBERED BY A FEW OF HIS FRIENDS, the authors on pages 106-108 explain how Harris would usually write this quote in his books. When asked to write an aphorism in a book, Harris said he had no aphorisms and would write this quote. The closest it comes to anything in UNCLE REMUS is the quote "don't stay long!" which occurs in THE PLOUGH-HANDS' SONG (JASPER COUNTY-1860.) on pages 161-162. In any case survivals of any edition of UNCLE REMUS with any quote are scarce. Some aging to the text; the covers bright and strong. Near Fine. Frederick S. Church and James Moser (illustrator). …

Bourquin, Lexikon 488. - Antwort der Bieler Regierung auf Wildermeths im Mai des gleichen Jahres veröffentlichten offenen Briefes gegen den Magistrat der Stadt und seine Entgegnung darauf. Wildermeth (1765-1847) wurde 1800 Präsident der Munizipalitä¤t des Kantons Bern und Maire von Biel. Noch vor dem Anschluss von Biel an den Kanton Bern, den Wildermeth befürwortete, zog er sich 1814 aus der Politik zurück. Sein offener Brief, in dem er sich für den Anschluss Biels an den Kanton Bern aussprach, erregte den Zorn seiner politischen Nachfolger. Er wurde von Georg Friedrich Heilmann u.a. der Veruntreuung von Gemeindeeigentum bezichtigt. In der zweiten Schrift verteidigt Wildermeth seine Amtsführung während der "Franzosenzeit". - Exlibris von Steiger und Georg Thormann auf dem Innendeckel. - Kleiner Papierschaden am Rücken. - Selten.
