	Timothy Dexter
		Being now wealthy, Dexter assumed the title of "Lord," but failed to obtain social recognition in Boston or Salem, and removed to Newburyport, where he purchased two large mansions, one of which he sold at a profit, and the other he fitted up as his palace in a bizarre style, prompted by his capricious taste.
		Dexter placed himself among the great, whom he delighted to honor, and labeled his column "I am the greatest man in the East." There were upward of forty of the figures, including four lions, two couchant and two passant, the whole costing about $15,000.
		Dexter purchased a countryseat in the town of Chester, N. II., and again made an ostentatious display of his wealth in an absurd ornamentation of his house, in erecting magnificent stables and enormous pigeon houses; but, as he became quarrelsome, the neighbors frequently repaid his impudence with a horsewhipping.

		After the first printing sold out, Dexter, in deference to demanding readers, amended the second edition by adding periods, commas, semicolons and other punctuation.
		There was one small catch, however: rather than disperse punctuation throughout the text, Dexter added a page of 'stops' containing nothing but punctuation marks, along with a short message for readers to 'pepper and salt it as they please.'
