It is natural that he should have taken such a liking to the book, for Aranha's work is of intense interest to the reader who looks for psychological power, and Ferrero himself is the exponent of history as psychology rather than as economic materialism. "The critics," he says, "will judge the literary merits of this novel.
Wheatley, vol. vii, p. 10. Lombroso and Ferrero, La Donna Delinquente; cf. Havelock Ellis, Man and Woman, fourth edition, p. 196. Gury, Théologie Morale, art. 381. It has been set out, for instance, by Professor Wahrmund in Ehe und Eherecht, 1908.
Ferrero was therefore promptly notified, and ordered to throw his cavalry pickets out to the south and be prepared to meet the enemy if he should come; if he had to retreat to do so towards Fredericksburg. The enemy did detach as expected, and captured twenty-five or thirty wagons which, however, were soon retaken.
Ferrero, who takes a most unfavorable view of her character and personality, nevertheless explains the secret of her fascination: Herself utterly cold and callous, insensitive by nature to the flame of true devotion, Cleopatra was one of those women gifted with an unerring instinct for all the various roads to men's affections.

Under his handling it becomes almost a sordid drama of man's pursuit of power and of woman's selfishness.
