For those interested in Napoleon Myth studies, I have found this gem.Blood wrote:I've never heard of that, either. Whately's book on Napoleon was supposedly conceived as a satire on David Hume.Peter Kirby wrote: Napoleon is said to have earnestly asked the question. (Perhaps a reason behind the churchman's pamphlet questioning the existence of Napoleon.)
I cannot locate the document supposed to be parodied here, Historic Doubts Relative to Jesus of Nazareth. Perhaps someone else can?
However, I suspect that many pamphlets published on the continent during that period have perished.
