Excerpt from Rescuing the Czar: Two Authentic Diaries Arranged and TranslatedRescuing the Czar. Yet it does not conceal a funda mental inclination to sympathize with every rank that suffers in this onward sweep of power. Royalty and Rags, throughout these pages, find many mourners over the sacrifices each has made to reconcile the eternal con fiiot between poverty and pomp. In the abysmal void between the disappearing star and the aspiring glow worm men tramp upon, there seems to be sufficient latitude for the play of gratitude or grief. A Napoleon exiled by the French or a Ney shot down by Frenchmen is unthink able today. In like manner, when the revolutionary passions of Russia have subsided, there may be men and women of the humblest estate who will wonder how it happened that their Emperor, whose darkest sin, appar ently, was loyalty to Russia, could have been murdered by their countrymen in cold blood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
