that every_ pzescriiNr, whether in a moral or plls'
sical direction, knew me thoroughly'—knew we
from head to heel, in and out, through and through?
upside down. I was a glass piece of gener,ll pro-
perty, and everybody was on the most surprisingly
intimate terms with me. A few public institutions
had complimentary perceptions or corners in DI
mind, of which, after considerable self-examina-
tion, I have not discovered any indication.
Neat little printed forms were addressed to those
corners, beginning with the words, " I give and
bcqueath." Will it seem exaggerative to state
belief that the most honest, the most modest, and
the least vain-glorious of all the records upon this
strange fly-leaf, was a letter from the self-deceived
discoverer of the recondite secret " how to live four
or five hundred years ?" Doubtless it will seem FO,
yet the statement is not exaggerative by any means,
but is made in my serious and sincere conviction.
With this, and With a laugh at the rest that =oll
not be cynical, I turn the fly-leaf, 'and go on aPid'
