claimed that Saverien had used them with

went. But lie Verrier demolished the whole
fabric of the fraud, Lucas was finally
brought to trial, convicted and sent to
prison for two years. lie had realized,
however, about $4,000 from his activities.
Past Master of the Art.
Simonidcs was a past master in the art
OF literary forgery. His performances be-
long to approximately the same period, but
were accomplished on different soil. His
greatest achievement was the forgery OF
a history Of ancient Egypt written in
Greek by Uranios. This he proposed TO
sen to the Germans for a great sum. In
order to understand just what a marvel
GUS piece OF work he produced, It will be
necessary to understand some Of the DIFF
ficulties. He undertook to produce a
palimpssest-that Is, an old parchment
manuscript which has been used again
for a modern work. He took a manu-
script Of about the twelfth century and
wrote his history on the same parchment.

line of new upon any part Of the old. This
required wonderful care, as there was
really but very little space. In addition,
he had to make the Greek letters he used
agree with the style OF the century they
were supposed TO represent. OF course.

with someone in exploiting a white For
mosan ware" This led to his downfall.
Detection being imminent, he confessed.
This is one account. Another has It that
he became conscience-stricken and volun-
tary withdreW from the public gaze.
An Expert FOrger.
A self-educated man OF humble origin of
the name of Vrain Lucas, ignorant of both
Greek and Latin, became the perpetrator
of a fraud involving the preparation OF a.
900 odd forged documents. many Of them pur-
porting to be letters written by celebrated
historical p~ersonages. Although written in
French. they purported to be letters from
SapphO, ThRles, Dante, Petrarch, Julius
Caesar. Alexander the Great, st. Luke,
Shakespeare, Lazarus. Newton, Pascal,
Cleopatra and others: NJ. Chasles, the
great mathematician. was apparently ready
to believe that all the ancients were pro-
ficient in this language. for he was COM
pletely fooled by Lucas. In 1867, among
other documents Lucas communicated TO
the Academic through Chasles two letters
and four notes purporting to nave been
written by the celebrated French mathe-
matician and thinker, Blaise Pascal Q632-
1882. II these letters had been genuine.
they would have proved him 10 have an
ticipated Newton u641-l72O in his great dis
oovery OF the law OF gravitation. Chasles
was attacked, but stood his ground. even
producing other letters to bear him out
from Pascal to the boy Newton. The dis
cussion lasted for two years. In 1863 the
Academic made an official declaration in
favor OF the genuineness Of the letters.

Egypt" and Lepsius's Chronology
And so the finished fraud captivated Lep-
sius. great scholar that he was, for
the dates were all correct, that was plain
to be seen! However, the manuscript had
to undergo a very searching Investigation,
which included chemical and microscopic
tests. Dindorf, the great classical editor.
was to edit it for publication. and the
Clarendon Press Of oxford was to publish
first specimens. In fact, the fraud had
almost been accomplished, when unfavor-
able news began TO be received in Ger
many-probably accounts of Simonide's pre-
vious doings. At any rate, a reorganization
was made and Inconsistencies in connection
with the Greek letter NJ were found. In
addition, a single passage was discovered
where the supposed older ink was in reality
seen to have run across the twelfth CEN
tury writing. This was conclusive.
He Had Genius.
One OF the most astonishing examples
Of genius d~evoting itself to forgery was
that of the Italian Bastianini. Born in
1870 in the midst Of AFFECT poverty, he
had, properly speaking, no SYSTEMATIC edu-
cation, either literary or artistic. But
he had real genius. An antiquarian of
the name Of Freppa employed him for
2 francs per day to produce antiques"
which might be sofa at a good profit
SO this became Bastianini's lifework-the
production of forgeries. One of his most
celebrated works is the bust Of Savon-
arOla. Persuaded that here was a real
fifteenth century bust, two public-spirited
gentlemen collected 10000 francs and pur-
chased 1t from Freppa to prevent its sale
and expectation. One critic, Dupre. de-
ciAred that he must assign IL 70 Michael
angelo for its force and to Robbia for
