As Halloween is nearing it's topical to discuss

a little known aspect of Shelly's "Frankenstein." Historians reviewed her notes and discovered a passage that stated this:

As the good Doctor talked with the Monster for the first time the Dr. said this to him "you should know your strong arms came from Berlin, you barrel chest from Munich, your powerful legs from Stuttgart, and your immense hands from Frankfurt. Unfortunately, you did have one body part that came from Vienna."
