〃The Armadale。〃_ And the proceedings at the Inquest proved that
the three men had been all suffocated _by sleeping in poisoned

I am indebted for these particulars to the kindness of the
reporters at Liverpool; who sent me their statement of the facts。
The case found its way into most of the newspapers。 It was
noticedto give two instances in which I can cite the datesin
the _Times_ of November 30th; 1865; and was more fully described
in the _Daily News_ of November 28th; in the same year。
Before taking leave of 〃Armadale;〃 I may perhaps be allowed to
mention; for the benefit of any readers who may be curious on
such points; that the 〃Norfolk Broads〃 are here described after
personal investigation of them。 In this; as in other cases; I
have spared no pains to instruct myself on matters of fact。
Wherever the story touches on questions connected with Law;
Medicine; or Chemistry; it has been submitted before publication
to the experience of professional men。 The kindness of a friend
supplied me with a plan of the doctor's apparatus; and I saw the
chemical ingredients at work before I ventured on describing the
action of them in the closing scenes of this book。
