This book, first published in 1637, was the first full-length
treatise on suicide published in English. Originally published in
1988 as part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry
series, the introduction by Michael MacDonald places the book in
the context of attitudes to suicide in its day, as well as showing
some of the ways that this theological book is also a study of the
psychology and sociology of suicide. He discusses the evolution of
the law of suicide and analyses the religious beliefs held about it
at the time, before going on to look at John Sym himself and the
structure of his book.
