Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Very Scarce

The first edition of this vanishingly scarce work.

A sermon on capital punishment, and how often capital punishment was served at times inconsistent with justice, sound policy, and religion.

By William Dodd, an English Anglican clergyman who was Chaplain to the King. He was an extravagant man, and dabbled in forgery in order to clear his debts, an act for which he was caught and convicted, resulting in him being hanged at Tyburn in 1777.

Register runs as: [2], B6, C2.

Collated, complete, despite errors in pagination.

Condition

Unbound, as issued. Externally, smart. Prior owner's ink to the head of the title. Small tidemark to the head of the final leaf. Light edge wear to the text block. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and clean.

Overall: Very Good
