註釋

This autobiography, first published in 1821, describes the author's addiction to laudanum (opium and alcohol) and its effect on his life. He talks about his childhood and the underlying psychological factors that led to his opium abuse. He had spent his late teenage years as a runaway living on the streets of London. He describes the early pleasures of opium and then how his experiences devolved into the more extreme side effects such as insomnia, hallucinations and physical symptoms.
