Empire of the Czar

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The w'ork recently published in Paris, of which these volumes are a translation, has appeared in the form of letters addressed to anonymous friends. This form has not been preserved in the translation, which is divided into chapters an arrangement better adapted to the taste of the English reader, and unobjectionable in other respects, as the division of the chapters still corresponds with that of the original epistles. In making the alteration, a few very trivial modifications in the phraseology of the text. Were necessary.
