This second edition of Creech’s report, revised and corrected, was
published on 3rd October 1788. The paragraphs in Smith’s declarations,
omitted in the former edition as having no immediate relation to the
trial, were here given in full, and three further appendices were added
to those contained in the first edition. The volume included the
portrait of Deacon Brodie, already published, and an additional
portrait, entitled “Smith at the Bar,” also by Kay. The publication of
this edition was delayed some days in order to give an account of the
behaviour of the criminals at their execution.
