Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
