In den WarenkorbSecond edition (first published 1777). 12mo. Full 18th-c. tree calf with contrasting title label and ornament to spine; [ii],xxxvi,192pp; frontispiece portrait; wanting half-title. A pretty copy, joints and boards firm and free of notable wear; internally fresh and free of foxing; Very Good indeed. Early presentation to front en…dpaper, "N.S.[?] Nancy Henning from her Affectionate Father;" further signed on verso of frontispiece, "Henning / [illegible] / 1789;" and, to title-page, "Henning-Smyth." Second edition of this much-reprinted work of prison literature, a verse apologia composed by William Dodd, an Anglican minister, in the weeks following his imprisonment for forging the name of his former student, the Earl of Chesterfield, on a £4,000 bank note. Chesterfield was not in a forgiving mood, and the work culminates with Dodds' prayer composed the night before his execution for the crime. Includes "The Convict's Address to His Unhappy Brethren," which appears on pp.157-78, and is generally atrributed to Samuel Johnson. Indeed, Johnson publicly petitioned for clemency in Dodd's case, despite his own misgivings regarding the convict's character, which were succinctly expressed in a letter to Boswell written the day following the execution: "His character is very bad; I hope all is not true that is charged upon him." A desirable copy, very well-preserved, with a contemporary woman reader's provenance. ESTC T133880. COURTNEY-NICHOL SMITH pp. 128-129.
