Mairi, Laura Natal and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Marjorie Fleming : a sketch : being the paper entitled 'Pet Marjorie, a story…'" by John Brown, M.D., is a biographical account written in the mid-1800s. The book serves as a gentle, affectionate portrait of Marjorie Fleming, a precocious Scottish child from the early 19th century, whose life was both brief and remarkable. Through the inclusion of her diaries, letters, poems, and recollections from those who loved her, John Brown crafts a loving memorial that is both literary and historical, offering insight into the innocence and depth of a child’s world during the Georgian and early Victorian eras. The main topic of the book is the life, personality, and writing of young Marjorie Fleming, celebrated for her wit, emotion, and singular charm. The narrative follows Marjorie’s short life, highlighting her vivid imagination, passion for learning, and strong affections—particularly for her family, her friend Isabella, and the famous author Sir Walter Scott, who was personally acquainted with her. The book presents Marjorie’s writings, revealing her curious mind, moral struggles, childish humor, and the intense love that defined her relationships. Brown describes her daily life, inner thoughts, struggles with temperament, and exposure to literature, all drawn from her childish yet sophisticated journal entries and letters. The account concludes with Marjorie’s untimely death from illness at the age of eight, and the deep grief experienced by those around her. Ultimately, the book is both a touching biography and a literary homage to childhood genius and affection lost too soon.
