Harriet B. Stowe ''Cabin'' Signed
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” signed and inscribed by Harriet Beecher Stowe dated 29 July 1893. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Company: 1893. Inscribed on the flyleaf, “Warren G. Kittredge with the best wishes / of his friend / Harriet Beecher Stowe / July 29 1893 / He that is faithful in that / which is least is faithful / also in much / Luke 16,10.” The Bible quote ties in with the sentiments Stowe writes of in Chapter XVII ''The Freeman's Defense''. The elderly Simeon encourages George with a quote from Psalms, and says ''...it is often those who have least of all in this life whom He chooseth for the kingdom. Put thy trust in Him, and, no matter what befalls thee here, He will make all right hereafter.'' Stowe’s signature is dark and clear. 566pp. hardcover has wear around edges and spine. Inside pages are heavily toned around edges, but very good condition otherwise. Front end papers with inscription are separated from binding. Small tear and crease along the right edge of the flyleaf just touching ''that'' and ''faithful'' of inscribed Biblical verse without any affect on legibility. In good condition.
