judgment, that Lassalle was very inflammable where women
were concerned. This she could do by depicting him, a little earlier, in
precisely similar bondage to that which he had professed to Helene. That
the Countess wrote, or assisted to write, the compilation of letters and
diaries, does not, however, destroy its value as a record of Lassalle's
struggle on her behalf. That account, if not written by Lassalle, was
written or inspired by the other great actor in the Hatzfeldt drama, and
may therefore be considered a fairly safe guide in recounting the story.
Mr. Israel Zangwill, since the above was written, has published an
article on Lassalle in his _Dreamers of the Ghetto_. He accepts Sophie
Solutzeff's story as genuine, but that is merely the credulity of an
accomplished romancer.
