The old mystery of the 'Lyons Mail' is of all crime-problems the
most complicated and interesting. It is not even yet forgotten, as
those will remember who saw the elder and the younger Irving, play
the double part of Lesurques and Dubosq-a sort of misreading of the
problem of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But the real story is tangled
up with all manner of historical persons. The lost money was going
to General Bonaparte, then on his first victorious campaign in the
Italian Alps: three of the 'Directors' La Revelliere - Lepeaux,
Gohier and Merlin dispute in the affair. Madame Tallien - 'Notre
Dame de Thermidor' makes a flitting appearance: still more
improbably the two famous epicures of the age - Cambaceres and
Brillat-Savarin take the chair. Even Talleyrand shows for a moment.
