Excerpt from Scenes of Russian Court Life: Being the Correspondence of Alexander I. With His Sister Catherine We are now authorised to make public these valuable documents, full of interest and information, which reveal more than one new feature of the Emperor's character. Often, in Spite of their air of uncertainty and hesitation, these letters bear witness to clearness and firmness of View, to perfect confidence in taking a decision or deter mining it beforehand. You see him, strong in his experience of life, now pursuing resolutely the execution of an accepted plan, now tracing for himself a line of conduct tardily determined on. All that was enigmatical to his con temporaries, all that men then held to be irresolution of character, vanishes in the new light of to-day. And in like manner his estimates, astonishing in their correct ness, of different personages, native or foreign, stamp him as a keen gauger of men, an enlightened judge of the merits and shortcomings of individuals.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A poignant memoir by Margaret Eager, governess to the children of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Beginning with her difficult journey from her native Ireland to the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, her account documents the unique daily life of the Romanov family during her six-year tenure in the Russian Imperial court. In this snapshot of Russian history, Eager chronicles daily life in the Imperial nurseries raising the young Grand Duchesses Olga, Marie, Tatiana, Anastasia, and the Tsarevitch Alexis, and her many anecdotes of the royal children demonstrate the rarefied atmosphere in which they were raised. She elaborates on her time in Russia and records the disadvantages of traveling aboard the Imperial Yacht, peasant life in Russia, scam artists inside the Imperial residences, attempts on the Tsar's life, and her impressions of the Palaces and Imperial art collections. Eager's close intimate relationship with the imperial family allowed her to view the inner workings of their lives in a way few others could. Eager remained in contact with the Imperial family until their murders in 1918.
