Very nice edition of this 19th century work about drug addiction highlighted by 12 beautiful gravures by Zhenya Gay. 1 tiny tear to the bottom of the frontispiece. Laid in is The Heritage Club Sandglass newsletter. The slipcase which has the same green decrative paper as the book's boards has chipping and wear, the book is fine and unread.
Synopsis
Confessions of an English Opium-eater is an autobiographical account written by Thomas de Quincey about his addiction to laudanum - a combination of opium and alcohol - and its effects. He first had it published anonymously in the London Magazine in 1821, but it was released as a book the following year.
