The Empress Elizabeth held her at the font, and the Grand Duke Peter was her godfather. She was educated with her cousin, the daughter of the Grand-Chancellor, Michael Vorontsov, who was more than a father to her, her own father. Count Roman, being, as she naively expresses it, ^^a man of pleasure who willingly transferred me to my uncle."*^ Her uncle spared no pains or expense upon her education, and she grew up one of the most accomplished young Russian women of her day, with a perfect comman...d of three lang- uages besides her own. An enthusiastic student, and an omnivorous reader, she devoted all her pocket-money to the pmx;hase of a little library, which gradually grew into nine hundred volumes, including the works of Bayle, Montesquieu, Boileau, Voltaire and the Encyclopedia. When only fifteen, she was introduced to the Grand-Duchess, as a yoimg person who devoted almost her whole time to study. This community of tastes speedily drew the two women together, and the empire of the elder Catherine, over the younger, fourteen years her junior, was instantaneous and complete.
