In view of the gross exaggerations, misrepresentations, and what we know to be positive falsehoods which he acted out in life and which are found in more or less all his published writings, we do not hesitate to say that no confidence whatever can be put in anything he may say or write. He is shrewd, deceitful, conscienceless, clever, revengeful, plausible, and wields a ready pen, but to those of us who know the facts his stories are for the most part the merest Munchaussen [sic] romances.
