First sentence: On the fifth of June, in the year 1798, a body believed to be that of Giacomo Casanova, self-styled Chevalier de Seingalt, was buried in the graveyard of Dux Castle in the kingdom of Bohemia, in the presence of his last patron, Count Waldstein, his nephew, Carlo Angiolini, who had traveled from Dresden, and an assorted retinue of servants, most of whom had done their utmost to make miserable the last years of his life.
