MEMOIRS OF CArHARINE H., WRITTEN BY HER
SELF. With preface by A. HerZen. New York
APpleton's. For sale in this city by Taylor
Maury.
This publication has caused no little STIR as it
gives undoubtedly authentic autobiographic me-
moirs OF the Empress Catharine fl and from the
frank nature Of its revelations Of Court secrets,
great pains, though unsuccessful, have been taken
by the Russian Government to suppress the book.
What renders the present publication Of serious
consequence to the imperial house of Russia is
that il proves the illegitmacy of that house.
Catbarine confesscs explicitly that the father Of
the Emperor Paul was Sergius SoltikOn, one OF
her trio Of favored lovers. The book altogether
gives curious picture of the state Of civiliza-
ton in the imperial family Of Russia during the
eighteenth century.
