This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia, Vol. 1 Who could have pretended to say, in the year 1700, that a magnificent and polite court would be formed at the extremity of the Gulf of Finland? That the inhabitants of Solikamsk, Kazan, and the banks of the Volga and Sok, would be ranked among our best disciplined troops, and gain victories in Germany, after defeating the Swedes and the Turks; that an empire two thousand leagues in length, almost unknown to us before, should in the space of fifty years become a well-governed state, and extend its influence to all the European courts? And that in 1759, the most zealous patron of learning in Europe, should be a Russian? Any one who had said this would have passed for the most chimerical mortal on earth. Peter the Great, therefore, who singly planned and executed this amazing and altogether unforeseen revolution, is, perhaps, of all princes, the one whose deeds are most worthy of being transmitted to posterity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of Historical Biography The books consulted are very many, and it has been impossible to cite them all. As continual references to authorities which are chiefly Russian would appeal to very few of my readers, I have thought it best to avoid them, and have mentioned only my chief author ities at the end of the chapters. Historical students and those conversant with the literature of' the period will in this way readily find whence I have taken my facts. For the convenience of the reader I have avoided as far as possible the use of purely Russian words and titles, and where the English forms of proper names are not used, an accentual mark has been placed to facilitate pronunciation. As circumstances have compelled me to live in five different countries since I began this work, often away from public libraries, and with only my own books and my notes to rely upon, I must ask pardon for many deficiencies and slips.

Download or read book The Pupils of Peter the Great written by R. Nisbet Bain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pupils of Peter the Great: A History of the Russian Court and Empire From 1697 to 1740 IN the following pages it will be my endeavour to follow out, step by step, the early development of the modern Russian State from the latter years of Peter the Great to the death of his niece, the Tsaritsa Anne, and I propose at the same time, to draw a picture Of the Imperial Court as it struck contemporary observers. The period chosen embraces, roughly speaking, the first forty years of the Eighteenth Century, and while I hope that serious political and historical students will find much in this volume to reward their attention and awaken their interest, I feel pretty confident that the curious scrutinizer of men and manners will not be altogether disappointed if he takes the trouble to peruse it. For the history of the Russian Empire throughout this period is, very largely, the history of the Russian Court, and, speaking from a large experience, I know of no other European Court which confronts us with such strangely original and eccentric types Of character, such sharp and striking contrasts and such swift, sudden and tragical revolutions of fortune. I have prefaced my narrative with an introductory chapter on Seventeenth Century Russia, still, I regret to say, an historical term z'neogm'z'a in this country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peter the Great Measure thy powers on thine undertaking and not the undertaking by thy powers.' this bold advice, the dictum of a poet and fellow-country man of my own, has been the almost indispensable inspira tion of this historical work of mine. The figure which forms its subject - towering above the history, bound up, to this very hour, with the existence, of the Russian nation - is not one to be lightly approached.
