Evans, Henry Ridgely. Napoleon myth. bds. [*]75c. Open ct.
The Napoleonic myths in both literature and art the author measures according to historical fact. The book also contains an introduction by Dr. Paul Carus and a reprint of “The grand erratum” by Jean Baptiste Peres. “The whole is a summary of the results of ‘higher criticism’ as applied to the Napoleon of the popular imagination.” (R. of Rs.)
[*] “The author does little or nothing to emphasize the difference between fact and legend, or point out the means of distinguishing between the two spheres.”
