First edition. Beautiful signed first edition of this memoir by the Stanford University executive who was convicted of the murder of his wife in 1933 and sentenced to hang. He spent time in San Quentin prison before the case was overturned by the California Supreme Court. The second trial resulted in a hung jury, and after about 3 more attempts at a trial which were unsuccessful for various reasons, the DA, Fred Thomas, ultimately gave up and Lamson went free. In all, 30 of the 36 jurors which heard the case in the various trials were convinced of his guilt. The book was adapted into a film in 1937 directed by Christy Cabanne and Starring Preston Foster, Ann Dvorak, and John Beal. An exemplary signed copy of this prison memoir which marks one of the early "trials of the century" in California. Hardcover in illustrated jacket, signed by Lamson and dated in the year of publication on the title page. Few charts and tables in the text. Publisher's gray cloth boards lettered in black and white. Near fine copy with some rubbing to rear panel of jacket.…

Quarto (300 x 232 mm.), pp. iv, 34 [without final blank]; recently bound in speckled half calf to style, smooth spine with triple gilt fillets, gilt floral motif at foot, red morocco label, contemporary marbled paper sides, top edge cut, others uncut. First edition: one of the rarest and most desirable of all Pacific voyage narratives, and among the earliest books devoted to Hawaii. We have traced only five copies at auction in the past fifty years, confirming its reputation as one of the most elusive of all eighteenth-century voyage accounts. The catalogue of the Hill Collection aptly describes it as "the highlight of a Cook collection". David Samwell (1751-1798), a Welsh surgeon who sailed on Cook's final voyage, joined the Resolution as surgeon's mate before becoming surgeon of the Discovery in 1778. His account of Cook's death at Kealakekua Bay is of exceptional importance, providing what Sir Maurice Holmes described as "the fullest, most detailed and most objective" narrative of the event. Drawing carefully on eyewitness testimony, Samwell's work fills significant gaps left by the official account and remains a cornerstone source for understanding the circumstances surrounding Cook's death. The book was written in part to correct the impression created by the official narrative of the voyage published under the editorship of James King in 1784. As Samwell observed in his preface, public opinion had come to attribute Cook's death "in some measure, to rashness or too much confidence on his side; whereas nothing can be more ill-founded or unjust" (p. iii). Holmes later remarked that the work is particularly valuable because it addresses matters "suppressed in the official account", especially regarding responsibility for Cook's death, and because Samwell's assessment of Cook's character, coming from "an educated man who knew him well", must be read alongside King's in order to gain a balanced view of the navigator as he appeared to those who served under him. Samwell provides a detailed reconstruction of the fatal encounter at Kealakekua Bay. In several respects his account differs from the official version. Discussing Cook's first wound, he notes that although one eyewitness supported the claim made in the official voyage that Cook had been stabbed first, the testimony of numerous other witnesses convinced him that Cook was initially struck with a club, a conclusion later confirmed to him by the Hawaiian priest Kaireekea (pp. 15-16). Samwell also places considerable responsibility on Lieutenant John Williamson, whom he accuses of failing to support Cook during the attack. The narrative of Cook's death is followed by a biographical memoir, largely reverential in tone, and concludes with observations on the spread of venereal disease among the indigenous peoples of the Pacific. As a surgeon, Samwell was particularly well placed to discuss the subject, although his contention that there was insufficient proof that Europeans first introduced the disease to Hawaii is now generally regarded as doubtful. He records that despite Cook's efforts to prohibit intercourse between his sailors and Polynesians during the first visit in 1778, the disease had become widespread by the expedition's return later that year. Apart from its rarity, the work exercised considerable influence. It provided a major source for Andrew Kippis's Life of Captain James Cook (1788) and his contribution to Biographia Britannica (1789). Unlike many contemporary accounts of Cook's third voyage, which appeared in numerous European editions and piracies, Samwell's narrative was published only in this English edition and a French translation. Not until David Magee's Captain Cook and Hawaii (1957), introduced by Sir Maurice Holmes, was the text reprinted. Holmes noted on that occasion that the original printing was "of great rarity and correspondingly expensive". The book holds a prominent place in Hawaiian bibliography. The Hill catalogue observes that, among the earliest books relating to Hawaii, it ranks alongside Zimmermann's Reise um die Welt (1781) and Shaw's Catalogue of the Different Specimens of Cloth (1787) as one of the most significant publications of the eighteenth century. Combining exceptional rarity with fundamental historical importance, Samwell's account remains one of the indispensable primary sources for Cook's final voyage and death. . Some foxing, light marginal toning to endleaves: a very good copy.…

JW consignment. Shelved Case 6. The original Millennium trilogy [The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire, and The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest] were all published posthumously following Stieg Larssons sudden death from a heart attack in 2004. He had planned on 10 installments but had only written 3 at the time of his passing. The next three installments of the Millennium Series [The Girl in the Spider's Web, The Girl who Takes an Eye for an Eye, and The Girl who Lived Twice] were published by Norstedts Förlag (original publisher of the Millenium Trilogy) who commissioned David Lagercrantz, an already internationally known author and journalist. The most recent installment [The Girl in the Eagle's Talons] is the first book in an upcoming trilogy written by Karin Smirnoff who has most recently inherited the continuation of the series. Karl Stig-Erland "Steig" Larsson was a Swedish author, journalist, and left-wing activist best known for writing the Millennium Trilogy before his sudden passing at age 50 from a heart attack. Larsson had a passion for writing from youth, gifted a typewriter at age 12, Larsson's first works were short sci-fi stories published in fanzines he both published and edited. Following his conscription into the army, Larsson would enter the world of journalism and left-wing activism, joining the Communist Workers League and publishing many articles against right-wing and racist organizations, the Sweden Democrats party being a particular focus of his, resulting in Larsson receiving regular death threats. Larsson's unexpected passing in 2004 saw his estate go to his brother and father, despite a later will stipulating it should go to the Umeå branch of the CWL. Larsson's posthumous success saw him become the second-bestselling-fiction author in 2008, by 2015 the series having sold over 80 million copies. 1383064. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
