A remarkable and extraordinary narrative of the revivification of Joseph Taylor : who was supposed to have been hanged to death, on Boston Neck, on Thursday the 8th of May, 1788, for a violent assault and robbery on the highway, committed on the person and property of Mr. Nathaniel Cunningham; and who was, by means of several persons, recovered to life and health, notwithstanding it was two hours and forty-three minutes after he was cut down, before they could render him any assistance. : Published by himself in a letter to his friend, Mr. Phelim Donance, in Boston, dated Capes of Delaware, May 12, 1788--then on his way home to Sweden. : A certain person, well known in Boston, has spread a false report, contradicting the truth of this narrative; but without the least effect; as the public in that state have received satisfactory and undeniable attestations from uncontrovertible witnesses.
