1806. This work contains Volumes I and II of the original work: The Last Man, or Omegarus, and Syderia: A Romance in Futurity. While traveling in Syria, a young man finds a cave, wherein a spirit appears before him. This spirit tells about the destruction of mankind and how the last days of man are restored on the side of a magical mirror. The last occupants of the universe are a young handsome man, Omegarus, and his beautiful companion, Syderia. Omegarus' father was the king of Europe, but as less and less children were born, the land became nearly void of people. After his parents' death, a vision told Omegarus of the only other survivor, Syderia. The pair are the last hope for mankind. However, man has exhausted his time on earth. The earth is destined for demolition. The hand of Death is coming forth to claim his victims, and Syderia falls beneath his hand. Only Omegarus is left. But for how long? Due to the age of the original we reproduced, some pages are faded.
