About this book
Memoirs of the Empress Catherine II is given as written by herself, with a preface by A. Hérzen, translated from the French. The preface says that some hours after the death of the Empress Catherine, her son, the Emperor Paul, ordered Count Rostoptchine to put the seals upon her papers.
The narrator says that she saw Peter III for the first time when he was eleven years old, and that he was then at Eutin with his guardian, the Prince Bishop of Lubeck. The narrator says she persuaded the Grand Duke to break off the negotiations with Denmark, reminding him of the advice of the Count de Bernis. The narrator says she was both amused and instructed by the perusal of the first five volumes of the Histoire des Voyages.
