About this book
Voltaire's account of the Russian emperor Peter the Great appears here in an English version from the French by Smollett, in an 1845 Manchester edition. The chapters begin with a description of Russia and its state before Peter, then follow his reign: the reforms, his travels abroad, the founding of Petersburg, and the war with Charles XII of Sweden, including the battles of Narva and Pultowa. A transcriber's note lists the changes made to the text.
