[lit-ideas] The Life and Death of the Admirable Crichtoun

Not that many hits from the OED:
 
1608 (title) M. William Shak-speare: His True Chronicle Historie of the  
life and death of King Lear and his three Daughters. 
 
---- this is ambiguous to me, in that I don't recall the three of the  
females die on stage?
 
1822 J. S. MILL Let. 14 Nov. in Wks. (1963) XII. 14 The life-and-death  
style in which I speak and write about it [sc. the Utilitarian Society]. 
 
----- this is _very_ good: there is a sense to 'finality' in mentioning  
'death', for some reason.
 
1975 Times Lit. Suppl. 24 Oct. 1254/1 Mr Boston gives a fair selection: the 
 life and death of the Admirable Crichtoun from The Jewel, a reasonable 
swatch of  Logopandecteision.

---- interesting to me enough to title this header with. 
 
A Short Account of the Life and Death of Swing, the Rick-burner, written by 
 one well acquainted with him, by H. N. Coleridge. 1930
 
---- rather silly, in view of the non-existence of Swing.
 
1900 M. HEWLETT (title) The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay. 
 
--- pretty clumsy.
