Fair copy of ['The long story'], in the hand of an amanuensis, with some alterations by Beckford, c.1777
Beg. 'I happened accidently to open my casement the moon shone bright', (see MS. Beckford c. 14, fol. 1, where an epigraph for 'the long story' is written on a sheet dated 1777). The work was printed as The vision, ed. Guy Chapman (London & New York, 1930). The contemporary foliation omits '53', but there is no gap in the text.
