Auguste Frédéric Louis Viesse de Marmont, Mémoires du duc de Raguse de 1792 à 1832(Paris: Parrotin, 1857), p. 350.3. Jean-Honoré Horace Say with Louis Laus de Boissy, Bonaparte au Caire (Paris: Prault, 7 R.[1799]), p. 3. This book was published anonymously, but Gabriel Guémard convincinglyshowed from internal evidence collated with Bonaparte’s correspondence that it must havebeen written by Say, a captain in the engineering corps who died in the Palestine campaignin 1799. See Gabriel Guémard, Histoire et bibliographie critique de la commission des sciences etarts et de l’Institut d’Égypte (Cairo: Chez l’Auteur, 1936), pp. 94–95. Say had managed tospirit this manuscript back to France in 1799 with Louis Bonaparte, and it came into thehands of the minor playwright Louis Laus de Boissy (who was in the salon of JosephineBonaparte), who admits to having extensively reworked it. I see the book as coauthored. ForSay, see J.-M. Quérard, La France littéraire ou dictionnaire bibliographique, 12 vols. (Paris:Firmin Didot Frères, 1827–1864), 8:500.
