  1. Clearview Crime Scene Investigators Prepare to Analyze “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”

  2. TALES OF RATIOCINATION POE’S IDEA OF LOGIC AND REASON • A conclusion • Intellect • Creative imagination • Stories of deduction • Mystery • Protagonist • Clues • Solution

  3. POE’S PERSONAL INTERESTS • Poe’s comment on solving difficult cryptograms: • “We say again deliberately that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cypher which human ingenuity cannot resolve."

  4. THE SOLUTION The annoying side of Poe’s genius. • In one of those peripapetic circumrotations I obviated a rustic whom I subjected to catchetical interrogation respecting the nosocomical characteristics of the edifice to which I was approximate. With a volubility uncongealed by the frigorific powers of villatic bashfulness, he ejaculated a voluminous replication from the universal tenor of whose contents I deduce the subsequent amalgamation of heterogeneous facts. Without dubiety incipient pretension is apt to terminate in final vulgarity, as parturient mountains have been fabulated to produce muscupular abortions. The institution the subject of my remarks, has not been without cause the theme of the ephemeral columns of quotidian journalism, and enthusiastic encomiations in conversational intercourse.
