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
