But who is the Sphinx? By the frontispiece, which is the Cherbourg statue of Napoleon, and by thundering interpretation of the Prophet Nahum, we suppose it to be the Emperor Napoleon the Third, who is to open the gates of the rivers (i.e. the British Channel).." - See The Athenaeum [Augustus De Morgan], 1862 pt.1 mo.JAN-JUN.
