An obsolete variant of the letter s "ſ" that is often confused with an f (it also resembles ∫, a calculus symbol); It fell out of favour in the early 19th-Century for this very reason, as printers found that it was more practical to use a variant of s that would not be confused with f.
The long s still survives in German as the letter ß, which is a ligature of the letters ſ and s combined into ſs (ß). It can also be found in the Jägermeiſter (Jägermeister) logo.

"Hey, why does this word say 'ſuſpicious' in this old book? Shouldn't that be an s; I don't remember suspicious being spelt with f."
"That's just one of the ways that they wrote s back then; it's called the Long S."
