About This Item
Shrewsbury: J Stockdale, 1795. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. In which Sir Richard Hill attacks a rival candidate of his brother John, the sitting MP, in the forthcoming parliamentary election. The rival is a further relation, William Hill, for whose father, Lord Berwick, John was executor. The dispute arises from a claim made by William that John will stand aside for him as MP. There follows the public washing of an extraordinary amount of family dirty linen. This is the second, expanded edition, with further correspondence. Stock is toned to page edges, moreso to title, but otherwise in very good internal order. Bound in more modern plain paper-covered boards, a little marked but lightly worn, with paper title label to spine. 8vo. 4, 49pp

About Dodman Books
Formerly Journobooks, my original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers and other media (hence the name) and I still have a good stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time I have added a wide and eclectic variety of other collectible volumes alongside a general secondhand stock. I am a collector as well as a seller so know all about the pitfalls of online buying as well as the joys. I will try to make your buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible.
