PS: Also, you might have cited the sequence
A137852 : Product_{n>=1} (1 + a(n)*x^n/n!) = exp(x).
1, 1, -2, 9, -24, 130, -720, 8505, -35840, 412776, -3628800,...

It is the sequence of your coefficients multiplied by n! as to have an
integer sequence:

gh1(n)={e=exp(x+O(x^n)); vector( n-1,i, c=polcoeff(e,i); e/=(1+x^i*c); c)}
gh1(15)
%4 = [1, 1/2, -1/3, 3/8, -1/5, 13/72, -1/7, 27/128, -8/81, 91/800,
-1/11, 1213/13824, -1/13, 505/6272]

gh(n)={e=exp(x+O(x^n)); vector( n-1,i, c=polcoeff(e,i); e/=(1+x^i*c); c*i!)}
gh(15)
%5 = [1, 1, -2, 9, -24, 130, -720, 8505, -35840, 412776, -3628800,
42030450, -479001600, 7019298000]
