An interesting edition of M.G. Lewis's influential Gothic Novel of 1796, which had an infamous publishing history due to its verging-on pornographic content. The story was edited several times to remove content and/or settle on comprise with the original. This is one of several reprints which was based on the heavily expurgated fourth edition in dime novel format which targeted the juvenile audience: "Dreams, magic terrors, spells of mighty power. Witches and ghosts who rove at midnight hour." The title page also states "Now Published for the First Time in America," which according to publisher's weekly in 1891, was the Laird & Lee "Edition de Luxe" with illustrations by Auguste Leroy and introduction by Max Maury. Laird & Lee also printed 50 cent editions, this likely being one, in a cheap paperback format, without illustrations. In any event, a scarce edition of a very important horror story which continued to influence both English and American writers and readers a century after it was published.

FIRST EDITION. Initial ad. leaf; the odd spot. Orig. purple fine-diaper cloth, paper spine label; spine faded to tan, but overall a v.g. clean copy. Sabin 40821. Although not published until 1834, Lewis's journal was written between November 1815 and May 1818. The last entry, dated May 2nd, was entered just two weeks before he succumbed to yellow fever while crossing the Atlantic en route to England. It covers two extended periods in Jamaica, where Lewis owned two estates. His observations cover all aspects of life on the plantation, from 'Plans for teaching the negroes', 'Happiness of the negro', and 'Capture of an alligator', to 'Impatience of the negro to be free', 'Insubordination' and 'Code of penalties'. The tone is certainly outdated from a modern perspective, but the author betrays a degree of enlightenment, referring to his 'negroes' and not his 'slaves', and it has latterly come to light that Lewis communicated with the abolitionist William Wilberforce in the months preceding his death, exploring the means by which emancipation might be achieved. In his last entry he states, 'What other negroes may be, I will not pretend to guess; but I'm certain that there cannot be more tractable or better disposed persons. than my negroes of Cornwall. I only wish, that in my future dealings with white persons, whether in Jamaica or out of it, I could not meet with half so much gratitude, affection, and good will'.
