frankenstein

by mary shelley (excerpt)

it may appear very strange, that a disciple of albertus magnus should arise in the eighteenth century; but our family was not scientifical, and i had not attended any of the lectures given at the schools of geneva. [my dreams were therefore undisturbed by reality]; and [i entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone] and the elixir of life. but the latter obtained my undivided attention: wealth was an inferior object; but what glory would attend the discovery, [if i could banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death]!

nor were these my only visions. [the raising of ghosts or devils was a promise liberally accorded by my favorite authors], the fulfillment of which i most eagerly sought; and if my incantations were always unsuccessful, i attributed the failure rather to my own inexperience and mistake than to a want of skill or fidelity in my instructors.

[the natural phenomena that take place every day before our eyes did not escape my examinations]. distillation, and the wonderful effects of steam, processes of which my favorite authors were utterly ignorant, excited my astonishment; but my utmost wonder was engaged by some experiments on an air pump, which i saw employed by a gentleman whom we were in the habit of visiting.
