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.
