      WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HOWARD MARKS

      Once upon a time, opium (the main ingredient of heroin) was easily available over the chemist''s counter. The secret of happiness, about which philosophers have disputed for so many ages, could be bought for a penny, and carried in the waistcoat pocket: portable ecstasies could be corked up in a pint bottle. Paradise? So thought Thomas de Quincey, but he soon discovered that ''nobody will laugh long who deals much with opium''.
