Astolphe de Custine : La Russia

'I have been extremely interested by it, and think it a most remarkable book, beyond measure severe, every line is written with a brand of frame, but I feel that my recollections and convictions assent the whole way… I image he does justice to the character of the Emperor, a great sovereign, not a great man; who thinks it would show weakness ever to forgive'.

'very interesting & able. I have read the entire contents of his published works, and every page has impressed upon me increased admiration, sympathy & veneration.
