The second edition. "A few copies of this book, tho not origianlly intended to be published, were printed off in the year 1722 ... [The author] has though fit to reprint it himself, more correctly, with some small alterations ..." -- Advertisement (A2)

The manuscript notes on fly leaves of this copy, and some bibliographies, state that Franklin was employed as a compositor on this edition. This (the second) edition was published before the author's death October 29th, 1724, and before Franklin's employment at Palmer's after his autobiography ("At Palmer's I was employed in composing for the second edition of Wollaston's Religion of nature") has therefore reference to the edition of 1725, actually the third; the issue privately printed in 1722 was apparently unknown to Franklin or not regarded by him as an edition. cf. The collection of Franklin imprints of the Curtis publishing company, comp. by W. J. Campbell, Philadelphia, 1918, p.40.
