Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Niccolo Machiavelli taught that political leaders must be prepared to do evil that good may come of it, and his name has been a byword ever since for duplicity and immorality. Is his sinister reputation deserved? In answering this question Quentin Skinner focuses on three major works, The Prince, the Discourses, and The History of Florence, and distils from them an introduction to Machiavelli's doctrines of exemplary clarity.

Paperback. Condition: New. Eliza Hamilton Dunlop (1796-1880) arrived in Sydney in 1838 and became almost immediately notorious for her poem "The Aboriginal Mother," written in response to the infamous Myall Creek massacre.

Hardback. Rev. Professor Skinner, D.D., The Caxton Publishing Company, London. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Good Markings: No markingsCondition remarks: Chipped DJ with moderate loss on rear panel; otherwise internally sound A cornerstone of late Victorian and Edwardian biblical scholarship, The Century Bible: A Modern Commentary: Kings presents a rigorous yet accessible academic treatment of one of the Old Testament's most historically rich texts. Rev. Professor Skinner brings formidable theological and linguistic expertise to bear as he details the narrative arc of the Books of Kings, chronicling the reigns of Israel and Judah's monarchs from Solomon's succession through the Babylonian exile. The commentary carefully unpacks the literary structure, historical context, and theological significance of the text, arguing for a nuanced understanding of its authorship and composition within the broader Deuteronomistic tradition. Written with scholarly precision but aimed at a broad readership of clergy, students, and educated laypeople, the tone balances academic authority with pastoral clarity. This volume remains a valuable reference for anyone seeking a methodical and well-reasoned engagement with one of the Bible's most dramatic and consequential historical books. Hardback.…
