Synopsis
Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1: Autobiography From 1785 to 1803
IT was in 1852 that De Quincey, who was then Sixty-seven years of age, and had been resident in or near Edinburgh through the preceding five-and-twenty years, began the pre paration of a collective edition Of his writings, to be published by the Edinburgh house of Mr. James Hogg. The scheme of such a collective edition had been anticipated by the American publishing firm of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields of Boston. A volume or two of their American edition had already appeared when De Quincey undertook the British edition.
