Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Narrative and Miscellaneous Papers, Vol. 12: With a General Index to De Quincey's Writings
[the present volume completes the series of De Quincey's writings as projected. The Introduction which follows rehearses the, history of this and pre vions editions, and it is only necessary to say here with regard to the contents of the volume that the closing article is now for the first time incorporated with De Quincey's writings. It was contributed to the Edin burgh Literary Gazette, a paper of brief existence, where it appeared in 1812. Mrs. Gordon in her life of Christopher North refers to it and quotes some of the passages. No copy of the paper could be found in the libraries of the Atlantic States, and a photograph was accordingly taken in Edinburgh from a file of the paper and used here as copy. A full index to the entire series completes the volume.
