Upon the Generation of Life Experimentation and Findings of the Indulgence of Animal Electricity within the Stature of Man.

I begin this journal with the anticipation that these records of my endeavors will sometime provide others with a foundation for further experimentation into the remarkability of the human spirit. Victor Frankenstein, September, 1792.

Victor Frankenstein studied at the University of Ingolstadt searching for the secret of life. This is his lost journal, found again to be used in 2035 to create life. A recipe founded on the work of Dr Willis (Animal Electricity) and Luigi Galvani (Bioelectricity). Galvani's report of his investigations were mentioned specifically by Mary Shelley as part of the summer reading list leading up to an ad hoc ghost story contest on a rainy day in Switzerland. Shelley does not mention Victor Frankenstein's methodology for successfully creating life in his creation.

This document outlines Victor's research and experiments leading up to his recipe for infusion of the spirit to the body as its vessel.

The journal is used by a research scientist in a later novel set in the arctic - titled Frankenstein 2035.
