Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Here is "Letters of Dr. John Brown, with Letters from Ruskin, Thackeray and Others" , edited by his Son and D. W. Forrest, D.D. ; with Biographical Introduction by Elizabeth McLaren. This is the 1907 First Edition, published in London by Adam and Charles Black. There are a grea…t many letters from John to various people : family, friends, colleagues, etc. Brown included among his friends : John Ruskin and William Makepeace Thackeray. And -- even though an ocean separated them -- he was friends with Mark Twain. The book is has photographs and bust portraits of Brown and his wife, as well as cartoons created by Brown and Thackeray. Dr. Brown is best remembered for his story "Rab and His Friends" (1859) which was very popular when first published; this popularity continued through the years as later editions were published. Rab was "a huge mastiff dog, described as being old, grey, brindled, as big as a Highland bull, as well as being extremely loyal and loving". John Brown is also remembered for two books, titled "Horae Subsecivae" (Leisure Hours) [1858 & 1861]. These were essays covering many subjects; they were also frequently reprinted. Letters to Brown include Thackeray, Jowett, Mark Twain (and Twain's wife), John Ruskin, Oliver Wendell Holmes and others) The letters gathered in this volume make for fascinating reading. Brown and family were great appreciators of dogs. Their conversations about literature are fascinating, and their attitude towards art was quite progressive for the time. It is clear that John Brown was loved by both family and friends. Brown was considered by most of his friends - and the world in general - as Mark Twain put it - "a noble and beautiful soul". This collection of correspondence is one of the most enjoyable that I have ever read. TITLE : Letters of Dr. John Brown, with Letters from Ruskin, Thackeray and Others AUTHORS : John Brown, [Main Selections] (1810 - 1882); also John Ruskin, W, M. Thackeray, Mark Twain, William Gladstone & a number of other correspondents EDITORS : Brown's Son (John "Jock" Brown), & D. W. Forrest, D.D. (Derek William Forrest) BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION : Elizabeth T. McLare IMPRINT : Adam and Charles Black PLACE : London DATE : 1907 EDITION : First Edition DETAILS : Trade hardcover; approx. 5 1/2" x 8 3/4", dark blue cloth-covered boards and spine with gilt lettering on spine; top text-block edge gilt - fore-edge smoothly trimmed , and bottom text-block edge roughly trimmed. Contains 12 illustrations and facsimile reproductions, including the frontispiece portrait of Dr. Brown (with tissue guard); has a Preface, an Introduction, numerous footnotes, and an Index. [xiv] + [368] pages. CONDITION -- GOOD PLUS --This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted : EXTERIOR -- Compression and fraying to spine extremities; gilt lettering still strong; boards display a bit of rub, and the rear board is weathered (faded) along its fore-edge, mild shelf rub to bottom edges of boards, else boards are clean. Top edge gilt is still fairly bright. Fore- and bottom edges are lightly toned, else clean and clear of marking. BINDING -- The book has obviously been read, the leaves opening widely, and the whole being just slightly shaken. However no leaves are detached or loose , and the whole remains fairly solid. INTERIOR -- There is some foxing (most noticeable on the frontispiece and title page); the tissue guard over the frontispiece is foxed, and is slightly detached at it nether end; I did spot some very light pencil erasures in the margins (barely perceptible); On the recto of the rear free end-paper are some penciled notes, effected in a rather shaky hand (also the final leaf of the index, and the rear free end-paper have a distinct crease - else the interior, while having a few, scattered small spots, etc, and a few modest creases, is clean and free of marking. No signatures. All and all a nicely preserved book. John Brown, William Makepeace Thackeray (illustrator).

Add to basketA lively Oxford spoof, which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham, Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham, who had been put forward by 'the heads, Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a… nod towards the first Oxford University Commission, whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. (For the background see Brock and Curthoys, 'History of the University of Oxford', vol. 6 (1997).) Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes, with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser, | The Perfect Substitute for Reform. | The Abolition of Dons: | A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. | The Metaphysical Syphonia, | Or invisible Wrapper, warranted Reason proof, and weighs nothing. | Apply to the Marines. | Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow, including a dig at 'the Proctors', a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' (the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of L*****n.'), a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission, that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor, | Not unequal, as he trusts, to the educational requirements of the 19th Century, has a vacancy for | One Pupil. | He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. | N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book, this one titled 'Weathercockiana, or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY, | (Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University,) | "On the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament."' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof. Presumably "Mrs Harris" is inspired by the non-appearing character in Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit". From the papers of Rev. Dr Richard Harington, Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford. No other copy traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC.
