Etidorpha (1895)
It's now possible to embed from Google Books. So here is the contents page from the allegorical science fiction novel Etidorpha by pharmacist John Uri Lloyd. (The title is "Aphrodite" spelled backwards.) Control click on a chapter, and a separate page will take you on this near-psychedelic voyage.
Etidorpha Or, The End of the Earth. The Strange History of a Mysterious Being, and the Account of a Remarkable Journey, as Communicated in Manuscript to Llewellyn Drury, who Promised to Print the Same, But Finally Evaded the Responsibility, which was Assumed by John Uri Lloyd. With Many Illustrations by J. A. Knapp By John Uri Lloyd
