BOSTON: ROBERTS BROTHERS. 1877. : Copyright, 1877, Roberts Brothers.By Cambridge &'Press John Wilson Son.of PREFACE, 'T^HE memoir of Alfred de Musset by his de- voted brother Paul is, in many respects, a model of what a biography ought not to be. It is an ardent and tearful defence, a eulogy, a threnody, picturesque and highly idealized sketch it isa : any thing, in short, but a sober and truthful piece of portraiture. But who would care to read a brother's memorial of life brief and troubled,a so nature so richly endowed, and in many waysa so winning, if it were dispassionate } The whole of the sad truth concerning the dissipations which wrecked the poet's health, and the waywardness and weakness which paralyzed his exquisite talent, years even before he passed away, may be read elsewhere.
