Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 23 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.
Nor did my hate long confine itself to useless wishes; I began to reflect on the best means of securing him; and for this purpose, about a month after my release, I repaired to a criminal judge in the town and told him that I had an accusation to make, that I knew the destroyer of my family, and that I required him to exert his whole authority for the apprehension of the murderer.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 23.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
