The Hazard of a Death-Bed-Repentance, Fairly Argued, from the late Remorse of W---- late D--- of D----- with Serious Reflections on his Adulterous Life ---- On his living so long in a known Sin----- On that Latin Epitaph he order'd to be set on the Tomb-stone of Miss Campion.... Also, the Dying Remonstrance of other Persons of Quality, and in particular, of John Hampton Esq;..... To which is added, Conjugal Perjury, or an Essay upon Whoredom; Address'd to the Husbands of Quality that keep Misses.

London: Printed in the Year, 1708. First Edition, vi, 63, [1] pp., title within double-rule border, some spotting of the text, title and last page of advertisements dusty, disbound. "Dunton's successful work..... 'The Hazard of a Death-Bed-Repentance,' [was] a reply to Dr. White Kennet's sermon preached at the funeral of the Duke of Devonshire. As an added attraction, Dunton promised on the title-page an essay called 'Conjugal Perjury, or an Essay on Whoredom'. 'Conjugal Perjury' was one of many essays which Dunton announced on his title-pages but failed to bring into print. Nevertheless, three genuine editions of 'The Hazard' were soon sold,..... later, Dunton offered 'The Hazard....., Further Argued, which included his essay on whoredom,' but not 'the Secret History of the Author's Failing, D----- at Confession', which he promised on the title-page." — Parks, Dunton and the English Book Trade.

The Household Guide To Dying

Pan Macmillan Australia Pty, Limited 2008 Paperback, 386pp. When Delia Bennet-author and domestic advice columnist-is diagnosed with cancer, she knows it's time to get her house in order. After all, she's got to secure the future for her husband, their two daughters and their five beloved chickens. But as she writes lists and makes plans, questions both large and small creep in. Should she divulge her best culinary secrets? Read her favourite novels one last time? Plan her daughters' far-off weddings? Complicating her dilemma is the matter of the past, and a remote country town where she fled as a pregnant teenager, only to leave broken-hearted eight years later. Researching and writing her final Household Guide, Delia is forced to confront the pieces of herself she left behind. She learns what matters is not the past but the present-that the art of dying is all about truly living. (ISBN: 9780330424806). Good.
