All other informal historical discussion, ancient or modern, falls here. This includes the topics of Islam, Buddhism, and other religious traditions.

I cannot locate the document supposed to be parodied here, Historic Doubts Relative to Jesus of Nazareth. Perhaps someone else can?
I've never heard of that, either. Whately's book on Napoleon was supposedly conceived as a satire on David Hume.

However, I suspect that many pamphlets published on the continent during that period have perished.
For those interested in Napoleon Myth studies, I have found this gem.
