Description
Transcription of opening paragraph from early variants of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." The paragraph is omitted in Tales of the Grotesque & Arabesque (1845) and thus Mabbott's copy text, which he took from the J. Lorimer Graham copy of Tales with Poe's manuscript changes.
     The handwriting is T.O. Mabbott's.
