deep sympathy Of the civilized
world, for although she is a victim o.
that system Of government that still
prevails in her husbands dominion,
she is an innocent sufferer for the ter.

deep sympathy with the progressive

the crimes that have been committed
during her husbands reign and still
are being perpetrated in Russia day

brought up with perfect simplicity,
and as child she was encouraged to
