From the introduction: 'It was on a bright evening that Edward who found a superlative enjoyment in solitary wanderings, started for a favourite resort of his - the high cliffs overhanging the sea . He was absorbed in the glowing scene, and heard no sound of approaching footsteps. Stealthy steps were they, taken by a man who had with him a large ferocious, brutal-looking dog. In the man's eye was a strange light; his teeth were tightly clenched. They are within three paces of the all unconscious Edward, when at a word, the dog leaps at his throat!.'.
