Presentation copy from the Queen: "To John Brown from his true friend V.R.I. Nov. 21 1869." This simply written little book of devotion, by a man who later became Bishop of Montreal, had an immense vogue among the poorer classes. It ultimately sold over 350,000 copies. The inscription in this one shows how close the Queen was to her famous Scottish manservant.\n
