The characters in this book are fictional. Any resemblance to people who are alive is pure coincidence. In 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) published a book titled, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (London: Longmans, Green, 1886; New York: Scribner’s, 1886). (A great read, by the way.) Although there is some similarity in the plot and character names, it is unlikely that the inspiration for Mr. Stevenson’s story came from my book. The reverse may not necessarily be so.

"... in my own person,... I learned to recognize the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, I was radically both; and from an early date even before the course of my scientific discoveries... had begun to suggest the most naked possibility of such a miracle, I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements."
