To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is cited both by his admirers and his detractors, and not, perhaps, inaptly by either, as he found here the op- portunity of displaying the most salient features of his character — both good and bad. It will be left to the reader, at the conclusion of the eventful narrative 246 CONSPIRACY OF THE NOBILITY, which the author is about to commence, to appreciate which quahty predominates, but he may not deem an inapt introduction to it, the quotation of this dialogue between the emperor and the t...raveller. " What you are about to read, " says the latter, " was told me, a few days since, by the emperor himself. If I have not related this conversation in my last letter, it is because papers containing such details cannot be entrusted to the Russian post-office, nor even to any traveller. " On the day that Nicholas ascended the throne, a rebellion broke out among the guards. On the first tidings of the revolt of the troops, the emperor and the empress went down stairs alone to their chapel, and falling upon their knees on the steps of the altar, swore to each other, before God, to die as sovereigns if they could not quell the mutiny.
