Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 24 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Frankenstein discovered that I made notes concerning his history; he asked to see them and then himself corrected and augmented them in many places, but principally in giving the life and spirit to the conversations he held with his enemy. "Since you have preserved my narration," said he, "I would not that a mutilated one should go down to posterity."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 24.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
