Alexandre Dumas (Père)
Excerpt from Alexandre Dumas (Pere): His Life and Works Of the French authorities enumerated in Appendix II - the majority of whom I have consulted at first hand none is more valuable than M. Glinel's book, to which, for its bibliographical research and its chronological data, every student of Dumas must be infinitely indebted. The works of Blaze de Bury, Philibert Audebrand, Gabriel Ferry, and M. Parigot's two books are all very useful on special points. Dumashimself - duly checked byreference to otherauthorities - is and remains the chief source of information about Dumas, in details which are scattered broadcast through the multitude of his writings. And here I may observe, in passing, th...

The Memoirs of Alexandre Dumas (Pere)
Mes Memoires are written characteristically de omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis. They are, however, primarily a biography of Dumas himself, and of himself especially as a man of letters: they are also a record of the literary life of the time ; and they are, finally, a gallery of portraits sketched, a storehouse of anecdotes related, with that inimitable skill and humour which makes Dumas the prince of all raconteurs----" the best possible story-teller in print." One or other of these considerations will explain most of the selections here given. At the same time, it would be impossible to apply the principle rigorously in every case. Thus, though there is no reason in the nature of things for the insertion of so much of Dumas' account of his father as is included in these pages, it would be quite unpardonable to omit altogether as graphic and thrilling a story as can be found anywhere in the range of the author's writings.
Taking the Bastile
It was a winter night, and the ground around Paris was covered with snow, although the flakes had ceased to fall since some hours. Spite of the cold and the darkness, a young man, wrapped in a mantle so voluminous as to hide a babe in his arms, strode over the white fields out of the town of Villers Cotterets, in the woods, eighteen leagues from the capital, which he had reached by the stage-coach, towards a hamlet called Haramont. His assured step seemed to indicate that he had previously gone this road. Soon above him streaked the leafless boughs upon the grey sky. The sharp air, the odor of the oaks, the icicles and beads on the tips of branches, all appealed to the poetry in the wanderer...
