The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and is sure to appeal to history buffs and fans of memoirs alike.''Monk'' Lewis, unable to stand against the outcry thus raised against him, determined to try the effects of absence, and took his departure for the island in which his property was; but unfortunately for those who dissented from the ferocious judgment that was passed upon him, and for those who had discrimination enough to know that after all there was nothing very objectionable in his romance, and felt assured that posterity would do him justice, this amiable and kind-hearted man died on his passage out; leaving a blank in one variety of literature which has never been filled up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
