About this book
Among the papers of Catherine II, found after her death in a sealed envelope addressed to her son Paul, was this account of her own early years. This translation from the French has a preface by Alexander Herzen, who tells how copies were made and passed around until Nicholas I had them seized and the original placed in the secret imperial archives. The manuscript stops abruptly near the end of 1759. Part I is dated 1744, and Part II runs from 1752 through 1759, with an appendix and footnotes. New York, 1859.
