First sentence: SUWAROW, in the sixty-ninth year of his age and the second of his banishment from the court of St. Petersburg, was leading an almost patriarchal life on his estate of Khantschansk, attending to agricultural matters, arranging the disputes, and not unfrequently the marriages and love affairs of his peasants, and accomplishing himself in the arts of psalm-singing and church-bell ringing, by a diligent and public practice of both, when, in February 1799, an official despatch addressed to "Field-Marshal Suwarow" was put into his hands.
