The casque of the Imperial guard was particularly
martial and becoming : but the miserable and deplor-
able connection with Bonaparte introduced a Franco-
mania, which threatened a serious revolution in the
national costume, favourable to the policy of the
French projects, and of course-injurious to Russian
