## Summary

In the text the Lives have been given in alphabetical order of the names. This was necessary, not only on account of their number--more than 400--but because Aubrey, in compiling them, followed more than one principle of selection, writing, first, lives of authors, then, lives of mathematicians, but bringing in also lives of statesmen, soldiers, people of fashion, and personal friends.
