Lord Tom Pendry
Taking It On The Chin: Memoirs of a Parliamentary Bruiser
Book and jacket in mint unread condition.. 324pp. Surely one of the most colourful characters ever to have graced the Palace of Westminster, Tom Pendry has been a boxer, a bruiser and a scholar, whose political career as an agent, candidate, Labour MP and peer has spanned over sixty years. Full of revealing anecdotes and candid descriptions of colleagues, his memoirs throw new light on successive governments and great, epoch-making events, and are a mixture of light and shade, irreverent wit and deeply serious intent.

PERUZZI UBALDINO (MINISTRO DELL'INTERNO).
DISCORSO DETTO DAL COMM. PERUZZI MINISTRO DELL'INTERNO ALLA CAMERA DEI DEPUTATI IL 4 MAG.1864 SULLE INTERPELLANZE BARGONI.
15,6x11,4 cm; 78, (2) pp. Brossura muta coeva. Ancora a fogli chiusi. Prima edizione di questo discorso del grande uomo politico fiorentino (di solito residente nella villa di famiglia ad Antella) e uno dei primi ministri del neocostituito Regno d'Italia su un dibattito nato all'epoca per l'opposizione di Peruzzi alla costituzione di una "Società" a Genova che era in realtà una delle cosidette "società emancipatrici" che fondevano i comitati garibaldini e le associazioni unitarie mazziniane, sciolte dopo l'unità d'Italia. Peruzzi fu accusato di reazionismo e di ledere la libertà di stampa e di pensiero per la sua politica nei confronti dei giornali d'opposizione. In questo articolo il Peruzzi si difende da tali accuse analizzando la situazione politico-sociale dell'Italia post-unità. Ottimo esemplare.
