An abridgement of Johnson's Relief from accidental death; or summary instructions for the general institution, proposed in the year 1773, by Alexander Johnson ... , Derby, [1785?]

The text is another setting with minor alterations of an abridgement published with the same title in London at the Logographic Press, which has a preliminary 2-page note "On the state of apparent death" and a final 2-page "Exhortation" (ESTC t120892). The latter solicits orders for the pamphlet ("they cost but four shillings the hundred, and 500 copies suffice at a time for a common district in England"), and the present edition may represent such a reprinting.
