Excerpt from The Life of Nicholas Emperor of Russia: With a Short Account of Russia and the RussiansNicholas I. Is the great-great - grandson of Peter the Great, the founder, he may indeed be termed, of the Russian Empire. Till the time of that great monarch, Russia had hardly been acknowledged at all as a European power. Indeed, it was but two centuries before he began his reign, that Muscovy or Russia was made known to our Government by some of our Arctic voyagers, when trying to find out the north-east passage, and a Muscovy Company was, in consequence, formed in London, in the reign of Elizabeth, to trade thither by the route of the White Sea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
