Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 9 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
And could not such words from her whom I fondly prized before every other gift of fortune suffice to chase away the fiend that lurked in my heart? Even as she spoke I drew near to her, as if in terror, lest at that very moment the destroyer had been near to rob me of her.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 9.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
