pp. [2], iii, [1], 72, 81-206, [2], 209-232, [1](Advertisement for Dodd's books). Substantially in verse. Pagination irregular, but continuous. Foxed. 8vo. 21 mm. Original full leather binding; boards detached, but present. William Dodd (1729-1777) was an English Anglican clergyman and man of letters. He lived extravagantly and fell deeply into debt. He dabbled in forgery in an effort to clear his debts, was caught, convicted, and, despite a public campaign for a Royal pardon (led by Samuel Johnson), he became the last person to be hanged at Tyburn for forgery. His tale really struck an emotional and literary chord in England and America. This work was widely reprinted for many decades. This true FIRST EDITION is very scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W138

pp. iv, xcv, 378, [xvi] + Frontis Portrait. Uncut. Original paper backed boards; spine almost perished, but most of the original printed paper label remains. 8vo. 230 mm. A great contemporary account of the last English impeachment trial conducted in the House of Lords. The accused was Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, considered to be the foremost Scotsman of the Eighteenth Century. The report of a Parliamentary Commission gave rise to considerable suspicions against him, as it was conclusively shown that large sums of public money during his tenure of office as Treasurer of the Navy (1782-1783 and 1784-1800) had been applied to other uses than those of the navy. It is interesting to note that Dundas could have avoided these proceedings, had he submitted to criminal charges, but he chose to face impeachment, anticipating that his chances were better before his fellow Lords. After a trial lasting fifteen days he was acquitted on all charges by his peers. Marke 1016; Goldsmiths' 19262-63. Includes an informative DNB article on Lord Melville. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W151

RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO: LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Eleonora, una ragazza adolescente nata in una città di provincia del nord Italia, inizia una serie di viaggi e contatti oltremanica incrociando alcuni tra i più importanti musicisti rock degli anni sessanta. L'autrice, che all'inizio entra a far parte di un gruppo fedele di fans e groupies, si ritrova ad assistere a concerti, produzioni discografiche, registrazioni e a intraprendere intere tournée insieme ai musicisti e a vivere lunghi periodi a Londra, Dublino e New York, città in cui conosce, tra gli altri, Elvis Costello e gli U2. Eleonora, che nel tempo diventa interprete, traduttrice, press-agent, giornalista e, in alcune occasioni, amica confidente di qualche musicista arrivando ad ispirare alcune canzoni, narra attraverso il suo vissuto personale e professionale l'intera opera di Pete Townshend, i concerti, gli incontri e le recenti interviste esclusive a personaggi come David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Rolling Stones, Andy Partridge, Jimmy Page e i Black Crowes, James Taylor e altri.
