Hardcover. Zustand: 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 great 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.

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.
