8vo in fours, pp. 24; a fine copy, bound sixth in a volume with seven other accounts of trials or dying words and last confessions (see below); in contemporary sheep, soundly rebacked, with gilt morocco label. First edition of a rare book by Johnson. The story of the fashionable preacher William Dodd, who forged a bond using the name of Lord Chesterfield, was discovered and condemned to death, is well known. Johnson was persuaded by his friend's situation to give a remarkable amount of assistance in pleading for clemency (he wrote some eight pieces in all). This sermon, preached to Dodd's fellow prisoners some three weeks before his death, was almost entirely Johnson's work: he marked Boswell's copy with the very few additions made by Dodd. According to Liebert, there are several states of this book, without known priority: this is the one with a small crown at the end of the text. The book was issued on Thursday 19 June, and at least one contemporary review identified Johnson as the author. The 'second edition', which is partly a reissue of the first, was published a week later: it adds a half sheet (D1-2), and changes the title page and final leaf of the original printing: it is far more commonly met with. There were also dozens of pirated editions in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Dublin, Gainsborough and elsewhere. It has been noted that this was probably the work by Johnson that was most reprinted in his lifetime. Fleeman p. 1297 (not noting any different states at all); Courtney & Nichol Smith p. 128 (not actually describing the first or second editions); Chapman & Hazen p. 153; Liebert 98.

[Sackville, Lord George.] The proceedings of a general court-martial held at the Horse-Guards on Friday the 7th, and continued by several adjournments to Monday the 24th of March 1760 upon the trial of Lord George Sackville London: printed for A.

Robert and Daniel Perreau were hanged for forgery in January 1776; their accomplice, Margaret Rudd, was tried but allowed to go free. 3. [Perreau, Daniel.] Mr Daniel Perreau's narrative of his unhappy case; wherein every particular transaction between Mrs. Rudd, his brother, and himself, from the commencement of Mr. Daniel Perreau's connexion with Mrs. Rudd, until the time of his trial, is most truly and candidly laid before the public; together with his defence.
