Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 19: August, 1854
I. We have already alluded to some of the evidence on the first point. It consists of direct testimony to the fact of the Dauphin's death; and its force is very much underrated in the work before us. It can be broken down only by directly impeaching the character of the witnesses or by establishing a set of circumstances which can only be explained on the supposition that the Dauphin is still alive. The first course is attempted by the author, but without success, and therefore the point is left in uncertainty; but we must remember that every additional, suthen tic bit of testimony, showing that Mr. Williams is the Dauphin, of course so far goes to show that the Dauphin did not die in 1795. But even supposing this point clearly established, Mr. Hanson fails to disprove the probability that with a constitution so impaired as the Dauphin's, he must have died soon after his release from imprisonment and could not have lived to be a hale and hearty man of seventy years.
