[GORDON, ADAM LINDSAY]. Ashtaroth: A Dramatic Lyric.
Melbourne, Clarson, Massina 1867. octavo green cloth. An ink splash on the back cover but an excellent copy. ¶ Gordon's second book and the beginning of his brief and dramatic attempt to achieve literary and popular success. His first book 'The Feud' had appeared three years' earlier but was a very private affair; for all purposes, then and now, nonexistent. His third book followed this one by a week, like this a financial loss, and his next book killed him (really). His suicide made him of course and the publishing boom began.
