Los 262 | Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents
[LONGSTREET, Augustus Baldwin (1790-1870).] Georgia Scenes, Characters, Incidents. Augusta, GA: S.R. Sentinel office, 1835.

Bradley Martin copy in original boards—the first edition of "the foundation stone in the development of native humor" and a landmark of Southern literature (DAB). This was Longstreet's first book, preceded only by two short pamphlets. "A landmark in American literature, and among the earliest works of the tradition that led to Clemens" (Streeter). Harwell writes "the aim of the author was to supply a chasm of history which has always been overlooked—the manners, customs, amusements, wit, dialect, as they appear in all grades of society." BAL 12946; Harwell, Georgiana 28; Howes L-448; Sabin 41936; Streeter sale 1158.

12mo (182 x 114mm). (Some foxing.) Original cloth-backed boards, remains of printed paper label on spine (minimal wear); modern cloth chemise and slipcase. Provenance: M.B. Thomas, 1835 (inscription on front board and title page - Bradley Martin bookplate; his sale Sotheby's New York, 31 January 1990, lot 2131).
