Haedo, Marmol, and Hājji Khalīfa all give him this title, though his beard was auburn, while Urūj was the true "Red-Beard." Neither of the brothers was ever called Barbarossa by Turks or Moors, and Hājji Khalīfa records the title merely as used by Europeans. The popular usage is here adopted. Morgan, 264-6. Jurien de la Gravière, Doria et Barberousse, Pt. I., ch. xxi.
J'ignore absolument le nom de l'auteur; mais le style elegant, la precision des informations et quelques details d'opinion que je ne partage pas m'avaient fait supposer que nous devions attribuer a Jurien de la Graviere le travail en question.

Hardly less valuable is Adm. Jurien de la Gravière's Les Derniers Jours de la Marine
In the words of Admiral Jurien de la Gravière, 'The ships of the United States constantly fought with the chances in their favour. All this is indisputable. Nevertheless we ought to see to it that in any future war our sea-power, great as it may be, does not receive shocks like those that it unquestionably did receive in 1812.
Jurien de la Gravière, Les Chevaliers de Malte et la Marine de Philippe II., ii. 71. The failure of the siege of Malta was a sensible rebuff, yet it cannot be said that it seriously injured the renown of the Turks in the Mediterranean. They had been resisted on land; they had not yet been beaten at sea.
