First published 1708. Attributed with a query in ESTC to Thomas Woodcock, with a note that the work has been attributed to Daniel Defoe. Complete copy with the final leaf of Y being the advertisment leaf. This second edition is a fuller text, as the note, Publisher to the Reader, at the beginning, says that several passages were omitted in the first edition for fear that they might be censured as too intimate, but have now been restored to their proper places in the narrative. The work records a nervous breakdown expressed in religious terms.
