Transcriber's Notes:
1. This book is a parody on the biographies of it's times; as a result, very few changes have been made, other than obvious typesetter errors.
2. On the title page, there were two lines of words that were typeset with "strikethroughs"; these have been indicated by the addition of "=" before and after the lines.
3. The original book had no Table of Contents; this e-text has added one for the reader’s convenience.
