From the catalogue
The Psychoscope contributed to the new genre of science fiction with its namesake invention, an anticipation of the lie detector. The play distinguishes itself by engaging in bold social commentary and by being one of the earliest examples of the genre of detective fiction. This text, privately published in 1871, is a facsimile of the original play.-- P. [4] of cover.
