Reprinted from the North British Review with the author's complaint that his original "Sketch" had been reprinted and altered without his permission, and that this new issue does the justice deserved to the subject, Marjorie Fleming.Marjorie Fleming (1803-1811), "a Scottish child writer and poet. She gained appreciation from Robert Louis Stevenson, Leslie Stephen, and possibly Sir Walter Scott.best remembered for a diary that she kept for the last 18 months of her life.The rumour that Marjorie's poems were admired by Sir Walter Scott derives from an 1863 article by Dr. John Brown, M.D., of Edinburgh. He acknowledged a debt to Marjorie's younger sister Elizabeth Fleming (1809-1881) for the loan of the letters and journals.The direct, albeit sole evidence of Scott's interest appears in a long letter from Elizabeth to Brown. The life and writings of Marjorie Fleming became hugely popular in the Victorian period, although the versions were severely truncated and re-worked, as some of her language was thought inappropriate for an eight-year-old to use." - wikipedia.John Brown, M.D. (1810-1882), Scottish medical doctor and author, perhaps best known for his dog story Rab and His Friends.

Light soiling to covers; very light foxing to prelims and final plate (bound after the last page of text); still a respectable copy. FIRST OF THIS ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Copies in the original cloth are a bit scarce; the work is more often found in printed paper-covered boards. The text was originally printed as an article in the "North British Review" (Nov. 1863), and several separate editions followed. The frontispiece portrait is a reproduction of a watercolor, presumed to be the work of Miss Isabella Keith, who was Marjorie's adored, teenage cousin. The other six plates reproduce pencil sketches by Warwick Brookes (1808-1882) of Manchester, who drew them for the author. Marjorie (or Marjory) Fleming (1803-1811) was a young lady of extraordinary precocity who enthralled Victorians with her poetry, her diaries, and the story of her life, which supposedly included a friendship with Sir Walter Scott. She died of measles at the age of 8. Her journals were first published in 1858 by H.B. Farnie and thus began the posthumous fascination with Marjorie. Her fame was further enhanced by the present account by Dr. John Brown (1810-1882), an Edinburgh physician and a noted essayist. It is here that the story of her friendship with Sir Walter Scott took shape. While this account of the Fleming-Scott relationship was affirmed by Leslie Stephen in his entry for Marjorie in the "Dictionary of National Biography," and thus memorialized for posterity, later scholars have argued that it has little basis in fact. (See Kathryn Sutherland, "Marjory Fleming," Oxford Dictionary of National Biography). Whatever the veracity of Dr. Brown's sketch, it helped inspire a widespread fascination with Marjorie that was shared by the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson, Algernon Swinburne, and Mark Twain. The present, wide-margined edition, with the charming pictures of childhood by Brookes, was the most attractive presentation of the work.

The text block is foxed and toned to varying degrees depending upon the quality of paper, there are some notes in ink to the front pastedown, also minor annotations to a few pamphlets, all looking to be in the same hand as the manuscript copy of 'Lillian'. An interesting collection of mid-nineteenth century pamphlets with an anti-slavery slant, probably collected around the time of the American Civil War, including some hardy perennials such as 'The Fight at Dame Europa's School', and also several which seem quite rare, most notably the two dealing with Coolie slave labour, opium and the Polynesian Slave-trade.
