Second edition. xvi, [3], xviii-xxiv, 388pp, [4]. A reissue of the first edition, with an altered title and the addition of an unnumbered leaf 'Preface to the second edition' between xvi and xvii. With a half-title, an engraved frontispiece, and two final leaves of publisher's advertisements. Original publisher's moire cloth-bac…ked marbled boards, printed paper lettering-piece. Rubbed, spine sunned, chipping to lettering-piece. Offsetting to title page, foxed. A rare survival of Church of England clergyman Solomon Piggott's pastoral discourse on the effectiveness of religion as an 'antidote' to suicide, written following a visit to 'a young man, his parishioner, who was slowly recovering from the dreadful wounds which had been inflicted by a rash attempt at suicide; and from preaching, at his earnest request, a sermon on his providential deliverance, admonishing others to beware of the steps which precipitated him into this dreadful crime'. OCLC and COPAC together record a single copy (BL). The first edition is apparently unrecorded. Size: 12mo.
