Excerpt from The Biography of Alfred De Musset The memoir of Alfred de Musset by his devoted 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, a picturesque and highly idealized sketch: it is any thing, in short, but a sober and truthful piece of portraiture. But who would care to read a brother's memorial of a life so brief and troubled, a nature so richly endowed, and in many ways 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. In particular, the study or series of studies by Paul Lindau, published in Berlin almost simultaneously with the present memoir, contains a great deal of sound criticism, and is quite remarkable for its lack of reserve in details.
