The Decision of the Three Judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, pronounced seriatim Monday, 11th of April, 1836, on the Applicability of the Marriage Act of England to this Colony; with a report of the case, and a review of the arguments.
Sydney, printed by William Jones 1836. Octavo unbound as issued (an early if not original strip of paper down the spine); [2],40pp (last blank), [1] (blank). Title and last blank quite dusty. Inscribed and signed by Dillon - then a solicitor to the Supreme Court - to John Gurner who arrived in Sydney in 1817 as Barron Field's clerk, became the chief clerk, and later a commissioner of the Supreme Court.
¶ Rare and one of the earliest authoritive attacks on legal judgments published in the colony - and worthy of notice as the case hinged upon the concept of legal independence from Great Britain. Ferguson (2116) appends an uncommonly long note indicating that he at least found it of interest ("important case" are his words). A John Maloney was convicted of bigamy but made representation that as he had first married after, and not in accordance with, the passing of the Marriage Act then his first marriage was invalid. The Chief Justice (Forbes) and Justice Dowling determined the Marriage Act had no application in New South Wales and found him guilty; Justice Burton disagreed as does Dillon in this pamphlet. He has found himself unable to merely report the case without comment as this decision now left the colony with "no law prevailing here as to marriage". Ferguson found three copies including his own and since then only one more copy seems to have found its way to an Australian library.

Girls and Women in Classical Greek Religion
Routledge, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 436. It has often been thought that participation in fertility rituals was women's most important religious activity in classical Greece. Matthew Dillon's wide-ranging study makes it clear that women engaged in numerous other rites and cults, and that their role in Greek religion was actually more important than that of men. Women invoked the gods' help in becoming pregnant, venerated the god of wine, worshipped new and exotic deities, used magic for both erotic and pain-relieving purposes, and far more besides. Clear and comprehensive, this volume challenges many stereotypes of Greek women and offers unexpected insights into their experience of religion. With more than fifty illustrations, and translated extracts from contemporary texts, this is an essential resource for the study of women and religion in classical Greece. ISBN: 9780415319164.

Tormented Hope
Penguin Books Limited, 2009. Paperback. Pp: 304. Tormented Hope is a book about mind and body, fear and hope, illness and imagination. It explores, in the stories of nine individuals, the relationship between mind and body as it is mediated by the experience, or simply the terror, of being ill. And in an intimate investigation of those nine lives, it shows how the mind can make a prison of the body, by distorting our sense of ourselves as physical beings. Brian Dillon, whose brilliant debut In the Dark Room established him as an uncommonly intelligent and fluent explorer of the realm where ideas and emotions overlap, looks at nine prominent hypochondriacs " James Boswell, Charlotte Brontė, Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, Daniel Paul Schreber, Alice James, Marcel Proust, Glenn Gould and Andy Warhol " and what their lives tell us about the way the mind works with, and against, the body. His findings are stimulating and surprising, and the stories he tells are often moving, sometimes hilarious, and always gripping. ISBN: 9780141044057. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

We moeten het even over Xi hebben. De waarheid over de machtigste leider ter wereld
Prometheus. Paperback. Pp: 160. De Chinese president Xi Jinping siert regelmatig onze televisieschermen en nieuwskoppen, maar zelfs na tien jaar aan de macht blijft hij in mysteriėn gehuld. Van opgroeien met een vader die werd meegevoerd in Mao`s Culturele Revolutie en zijn persoonlijke missie om armoede te bestrijden tot zijn vervolging van de Oeigoeren en paranoia over het feit dat hij wordt vergeleken met Winnie de Poeh " Xi Jinping is een man verduisterd door karikaturen. In dit beknopte boek onthult Michael Dillon de ware persoon achter Xi Jinping, misschien wel de machtigste man ter wereld, om te begrijpen wat zijn greep op China inhoudt en hoe het Westen hem eigenlijk bij het verkeerde eind heeft. Meer nog is dit het verhaal van de belangrijkste economische grootmacht van vandaag: wat betekent Xi`s leiderschap in China voor de rest van de wereld en wat gaat hij daarna doen? Michael Dillon is historicus en schrijver van verschillende goed ontvangen boeken over China. Hij is hoogleraar geschiedenis aan King`s College in Londen en fellow van de Royal Historical Society. Hij publiceert regelmatig in The Times Literary Supplement en de London Review of Books. ISBN: 9789044654592. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
