Being the reminiscences of the Tutor to the late Czarevitch, including an authoritative account of the Tragedy of the Imperial Family.
The book gives an interesting and intimate picture of the private life of the Imperial Family, and describes events of which the author is in many cases the only surviving witness. The story combines a tragic human interest with direct evidence on matters of rare historical interest.
The Daily Mail says:—"'Thirteen Tears at the Bussian Court' (published to-day) Hutchinson, 24s. net, with photographs by the author) is a book of extraordinary human interest and of the first historical importance. It is the only authentic and intimate account of the Russian Sovereigns, from one who shared their family life in greatness and in captivity, and is the solitary survivor of the party imprisoned with them at Tobolsk."
The Emperor Francis Joseph and His Times
In one large handsome volume, toith Illustrations, 24s. net.
The Author spent seventeen years in the Aides-de-Camp's department at the palace, and all that time was in direct contact with the Emperor Francis Joseph, the men and women about him, and distinguished European figures such as King Edward VII., the late Czar Nicholas II., the Emperor William II., and the Empress Eugenie, who frequently visited the aged monarch. To those interested in world politics before and during the war this book will be an indispensable guide. The author's relations of King Edward VII.'s activities at the Austrian Court would alone stamp it as a valuable record. It also throws new and highly interesting light on the problem of the Archduke Rudolph's death, and for the first time does justice to the outstanding qualities and charm of the murdered Empress Elizabeth. The author's study of the ex-Emperor Charles is remarkably lucid and penetrating, and the soundness of his judgments amply proved by recent events.
