Auriol or the Elixir of Life

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. On the night of the 1st of March, 1800, and at a late hour, a man, wrapped in a large horseman's cloak, and of strange and sinister appearance, entered an old deserted house in the neighbourhood of Stepney-green. He was tall, carried himself very erect, and seemed in the full vigour of early manhood; but his features had a worn and ghastly look, as if bearing the stamp of long-indulged and frightful excesses, while his dark gleaming eyes gave him an expression almost diabolical.Ainsworth, William Harrison is the author of 'Auriol or the Elixir of Life', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419208294 and ISBN 1419208292.
