Source Notes
Penfield Collection quotes Barbault "who believed he had Libra rising," and adds, "I have seen another chart which places the birth around midnight." Old-file has the same date, 11:40 PM LMT. (March 19 OS)
Andre Barbault in personal correspondence with LMR May 2001 writes that the data is fiction. "In his "Gogol," (Flamarion 1971), Troyat mentions the parish records #25 in which his birthdate is given as 3/20/1809, no known time. He himself celebrated his birthday on the 19th."
