Remarks re Authenticity, etc.


*Le Comte de Moret 1866 Dumas. Not available either in French or English.
La Comtesse de Charny 1853-5 Dumas alone. See "Mémories d'un Médecin."
La Comtesse de Salisbury 1839 First chapter fiction; the rest a mere chronique of history.
Les Confessions de la Marquise 1857 Part of a version of the "Mémoires de Madame du Deffand." Not by Dumas.
Conscience l'Innocent "or l'Enfant" 1853 Written by Dumas on the basis of some chapters in Hendrik Conscience's "Conscrit."
*Crimes Célèbres 1839-40 Under the editorship of Dumas, and most of the articles written by him. (See Part III.).
La Dame de Monsoreau ("Chicot the Jester") 1846 Dumas, with the assistance of Maquet. See "Les Quarante-Cinq." Not a sequel to "La Reine Margot."
La Dame de Volupté 1863 From the "Mémoires de Mdlle. de Luynes." Unlikely to be by Dumas.
Les Deux Diane 1846-7 It is said that Dumas, in a letter written to Meurice in 1865, gives that ex-collaborator the entire "honours" of this historical romance. He probably dictated the plot, however. The same no doubt applies to "Le Page du Duc de Savoie."
Les Deux Reines 1864 Sequel to "La Dame de Volupté."
Dieu dispose 1852 Dumas. Sequel to "Le Trou de l'Enfer."
