Everything that is written in this book the author had seen and heard himself, but such could not be written until he had reached the United States; and even in the States for some time, owing to a combination of inauspicious circumstances and political reasons he was unable to publish anything relating to the former Russian court and the causes which brought about the Russian Revolution.
