The first book in English on suicide. "The orthodoxy of Lifes Preservative, rather than its originality, is the chief reason why it is an important work in the history of attitudes to suicide. It is absolutely representative of t he prevailing opinion of its day. Furthermore, it fused theological discourse, moral condemnation and psychological insight in a way that noe of the shorter works by divines and medical writers had. To understand Lifes Preservative is to gra sp precisely what suicide meant to pious Englishmen in the early seventeenth century, to see something of the now forgotten attitutde of mind that interpreted behaviour and emotion in terms both of natural and supernatural forces, psychological motivatio ns and religious meanings" [Michael MacDonald, page x of his introduction to the facsimile reprint issued by Routledge, London, 1988].
