One OF the amusing features OF these me-
moirs Is the account of the visit 10 France OF
the Gar Peter the Great. He had wished To
come to Paris during his former sojourn in
Western Europe. but Louis XIV. had intimated
an unwillingness to receive him. The Regent
was more hospitable. though he would will
ingly have avoided the cost OF entertaining tbs
Muscovite guest. especially as the latter was at
open enmity with the King OF England, who's.
relations with France were then most cordial
nevertheless. the Regent sent Marochal de
Tease to receive him at Dunkerque, and de-
cided to show him all the honors that wouId
be paid to a King Of France. The Gar reached
