  Ghost stories told at an English hunting dinner, Italian bandits, and the tale of the German student who marries a woman guillotined that morning. Irving published it in 1824 and the critics fell on it; it contains some of his best work and he never quite recovered his nerve as a storyteller. This edition is bound with a gallery of 56 plates, among them paintings by George Cruikshank, Thomas Rowlandson and John Thomson, ranging in date from 1807 to 1917.

The text of the novel is the narration of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat who is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, a mad scientist who creates human-like hybrid beings from animals via vivisection. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and human interference with nature. Wells described it as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy."

The novel is the earliest depiction of the science fiction motif "uplift" in which a more advanced race intervenes in the evolution of an animal species to bring the latter to a higher level of intelligence.
