Jean-Jacques Rousseau 's published Confessions, which he wrote in 1766-7 when he was an exile in England, stopped short at the point where he was introduced to David Hume , who had brought him to London. Rousseau wrote an account of what happened afterwards, but suppressed it; and the manuscript has never .been traced. In this programme Maurice Cranston reconstructs, from letters and contemporary memoirs, the curious story of Rousseau's exile.
