First Sentence

When Robert Bailey published his autobiography, The Life and Adventures of Robert Bailey from his Infancy up to December, 1821, he announced that he had abandoned his career as a gambler and gambling-house proprietor and that he intended to support himself, his sixteen-year-old wife, and their twin sons, Esau and Jacob, with the proceeds from the sale of his book and from his patented faro box.
