“Is a miscellaneous collection of gossip, scraps of information of questionable authenticity, court scandals, and hints at deeper knowledge yet.”

Joubert, Carl. Truth about the Tsar. *$2. Lippincott.
One of the three rather sensational volumes on Russian subjects which have been written by this man whose real name is not Joubert. “It is not Russia that has gone mad, but Tsardom. As autocratic sovereigns, the hours of the Romanoffs are numbered. A constitutional monarchy or the United States of Russia are the only alternatives possible. Such are the opinions of Carl Joubert—who claims to know both the land and the ruler, and who reiterates in this volume the ideas he promulgated in ‘Russia as it really is.’” (Critic.)
“Even if only half its statements are true, it is worth reading.”
+ – Critic. 48: 191. F. ’06. 340w.
“As our author indulges in fewer Russian words than in his former volumes his errors are fewer.”
