INSCRIBED AND DEDICATED ON THE FRONT PASTEDOWN TO VICTORIA CONROY FROM VICTORIA, DUCHESS OF KENT: To / Victoria Conroy… / from / Her very sincere friend and / God Mother / Victoria / Claremont 1st January / 1837. ***Princess Mary Louisa Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861), mother of Queen Victoria, gave this book to Victoria Conroy, daughter of Sir John Conroy, on New Year's Day 1837. Sir John was in charge of the Duchess of Kent's household and had a very strained relationship with the future queen. As soon as Victoria became queen she banished her mother and Sir John Conroy from court. Claremont, near Esher, Surrey, was the home of Queen Victoria's Uncle Leopold, King of the Belgians. Condition: book has been expertly recased preserving the original yellow coated end papers. The spine is darkened and there are marks to the covers and some staining to the rear cover, but the book is very firm and clean internally. The inscription is very neatly written and laid out symmetrically. A very nice souvenir of Christmas in the royal family more than 175 years ago.

Text pages are clean and very slightly age toned with only occasional foxing except at prelims.**The REVEREND WILLIAM ELLIS (1794-1872) was a significant British non-conformist missionary who, while newly married, first traveled to the South Sea Georgiana and Society Islands in 1816 under the aegis of the London Missionary Society, and would later serve in higher office in that organization, as agent and then foreign secretary. As a young man, however, Ellis overcame the poverty of a relatively modest background, as a Norfolk gardener and candlewick maker, to read and dream about Cook's voyages and Keate's "fascinating but to a great extent fictitious" (J. Emieo Ellis, p. xvii) account of shipwreck of the "Antelope" upon the Pelew Islands. His youthful travels on this first voyage, then, revealed keen descriptive powers of his own. This non-fiction title, first appearing in 1829, and later expanded into a popular 4-volume edition reprinted by various publishers through the mid 1850's, was an influential descriptive resource later used as background by a number of nineteenth century "South Sea" novelists, said to include Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Jack London. His ethnological observations of Tahiti, where he was stationed from 1817-1822, recount relations with the first (converted) King of the Tahitans, Pomares II, governmental and social customs, developing laws, and Pomare's embrace of literacy. Ellis returned to England in 1825; he spent another fruitful period in Madagascar during the 1850's which he also wrote about. Various other topics include: slave economy of Brazil under the Spanish and English mercantile activity; misadventures of travel amidst convicts on way to New Zealand; perils of early missions among the Polynesians; details of the succession of Pomare's son in 1822.
