Note: Reginald1 also indicates a 1799 printing in 3 volumes published by Richard Bentley. However, since Bentley did not begin publishing until 1832, it's not clear which edition Reginald is referencing.
Synopsis:
St. Leon "is a genuine supernatural fiction: the cold-hearted Reginald St Leon meets a wandering Jewish alchemist who gives him the Philosophers' Stone, by virtue of which he can make gold, and the Elixir of Life, by virtue of which he gains Immortality. ..."
