Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“The atmosphere of greed and treachery is unpleasant from first to last but for all that the account of these latter-day land-pirates is absorbing.”

An episode in the secret history of Alexander the first, czar of all the Russias. There are love and court intrigue in plenty, which center chiefly about a young English lord whose love affair with the czarina is in the end forgiven because he did not know she was a wife, and she, owing to a strange lapse of memory, had forgotten her estate. It is a book which holds the interest until the last strand of the plot is untangled.
