Reading edition
M. Eugene Simon, one of the most distinguished of the French consuls in China, in his book, 'La Cité Chinoise,' awards the credit of this performance to M. Delamarre, "un prêtre des Missions étrangères," who acted as Baron Gros' interpreter. "Je tiens," says M. Simon, "le fait de plusieurs sources, et entre autres de M. Delamarre, qui se glorifait beaucoup de sa supercherie."
