He arrived in the great city at five o'clock on a Sunday morning, was set down at No. 9 in the Rue du Bouloi, and from this place carried his parcel to his old hotel in the Rue des Vieux Augustins. Such was the modest entrance of the future owner of the splendid "Folly " at St. Germain, the builder of the great Theatre Historiquc, and the world-renowned literary "conjuror," to whom thousands owe a heavy debt for many a weary hour beguiled. Almost his first proceeding was to look over the list of the ministers, and he found that Victor, the Duke of Belluno, was Minister of War. His portfolio furnished him with an old letter of the marshal's to his father, thanking the general for some service. He sat down and prepared a modest application founded on this document. But he had even a letter card to play. There was DEGREES Jourdan, whose letters gave evidence of a friendship as warm as that of Damon for Pythias, to say nothing of Sebastiani, whose letter showed that he actually owed a command to the intercession of the general. There is some worldly knowledge to be gathered from this passage in Dumas's life, and not to be disdained by the reader, viz., that such weighty obligations are often a hindrance rather than a recommendation to the obtaining of favours from the great. He first went boldly to call on Jourdan, and sent up his name. He was admitted at once. But he saw a look of surprise on the marshal's face, who had some dim idea that this might be his old friend. He had never heard of his having a son, or did not choose to run the risk of being deceived. All the young man could say would not convince him, and he was dismissed coolly. Alexander, not a little discouraged, then passed to Sebastiani's hotel, whom he...

In his fine preface to " Isabel de Baviere" he faces the difficulties and exults over the glories of the career which he foresees for himself: "One of the most magnificent privileges of the historian, that lord over the Past," he wrote, "is the power to rebuild palaces and reanimate the dust of dead heroes. With the touch of his pen, at the sound of his voice, as at the call of a God, the scattered bones reunite; again the living flesh covers them; they are clothed once more in the gay robes of their other life, and from out that immense gulf of oblivion whither the three thousand centuries have flung their offspring, he has but to choose the favoured elect of his caprice, and call them by name, to see them instantly raise with their brows the walls of their tombs, part with their hands the folds of their shrouds, and answer him, as Lazarus answered Christ: 'Lord, here am I: what wilt Thou with me?'" "True, one needs a firm step to descend into the abyss of history, a voice of power, to question the phantoms who dwell there, a hand that shall not tremble, to write the words that they shall speak, for often the dead hold terrible secrets which have been 'interred with their bones.'" Dumas's early ideal of the historical romance, although it changed with the development of his genius, is also interesting. At the beginning of his career, he wrote: "The great difficulty (it seems to us) is to avoid two errors--not to attenuate the past, as history has done; not to disfigure it, as the romance does. The only way to steer clear of both these mistakes will be, then, immediately one has chosen one's histori...

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... From Birth To Manhood And Fame (1802-30) Ik, like Defoe, we were about to offer fiction in the guise of biography, instead of biography in a more or less romantic form, we should be tempted to preface the story of Dumas with one of those elaborate sub-titles in which the author of " Robinson Crusoe" delighted. It would probably run somewhat in this fashion, if we allowed ourselves to prepare one, which of course we do not: -- "The life and adventures of Alcxandre Dumas of the World, who was both a black and a white man; a Royalist and a Republican, an aristocrat and a sans-culotte; who took part in three revolutions, and made three different reputations; who wrote more books than any other man living or dead, w/io erected tiuo "Monte Cristos," one of which made his fortune and the other of which unmade it; who enriched the world and was poor all his life; together with an account of his exploits as dramatist, romancer, traveller, politician, wit, journalist, diplomatist, soldier, lecturer, cook, historian, poet, etc." Before this Alexander entered the world he was about to conquer, much was already his own by inheritance. He was born into the atmosphere of fiery light and fierce heat which the Revolution had left behind it. He was destined to possess a good share of blue and of black blood, for his grandfather was no other than the Marquis AntoineAlexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, a French nobleman, self-exiled to San Domingo, and his grandmother was a negro-woman, Louise-Cessette Dumas. It was a romantically ill-assorted match, full of interesting possibilities. The son of this marriage threw over parentage and aristocracy, enlisted in the French army as a private under his mother's name, and at thirty-one years of age had risen to the...
