Von: Thomas Preskett Prest
The Unprecedented Success Of The Romance Of "Varney The Vampyre," Leaves
The Author But Little To Say Further, Than That He Accepts That Success
And Its Results As Gratefully As It Is Possible For Any One To Do
Popular Favours.
A Belief In The Existence Of Vampyres First Took Its Rise In Norway And
Sweden, From Whence It Rapidly Spread To More Southern Regions, Taking A
Firm Hold Of The Imaginations Of The More Credulous Portion Of Mankind.
The Following Romance Is Collected From Seemingly The Most Authentic
Sources, And The Author Must Leave The Question Of Credibility Entirely
To His Readers, Not Even Thinking That He His Peculiarly Called Upon To
Express His Own Opinion Upon The Subject.
Nothing Has Been Omitted In The Life Of The Unhappy Varney, Which Could
Tend To Throw A Light Upon His Most Extraordinary Career, And The Fact
Of His Death Just As It Is Here Related, Made A Great Noise At The Time
Through Europe And Is To Be Found In The Public Prints For The Year
1713.
