Well I looked up the first chapter of Frankenstein and CLEARLY I am incorrect...

"I am by birth a Genevese; and my family is one of the most distinguished of that republic."

"Probably"...Yeeeesh!

You're right/wrong. It's from Letter One, prior to Chapter One, me bad.

Go ahead Deb.

Hmmm, I checked the preface first and it was completely unrelated. Maybe it was from a different printing or some such.
I have misplaced my copy so I had to look online.

Valaquenta

Account of the Valar and Maiar according to the lore of the Eldar

In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish toungue is named Iluvatar, made the Ainur of his thought; and they made a great Music before him.

I can read it, I also have a few books printed in the 1800's.

<- Scavenges used book stores for old books. Did I mention my 2 spare bedrooms are Libraries?
