Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Col. Chas; S. Todd In the publication of this volume, I can but feel that the people of Kentucky, and of the West, will take some degree of interest in the perusal of a work devoted to the life and public services of one who played such a prominent part in the history of the times in which he lived. Since this volume was ready for the press, I found, among some papers left at my disposal by Colonel Todd a short time before his death, a manuscript copy of a lecture he delivered in 1849, at Frankfort, Ky., on "Russia, her Resources, Religion, Literature, &c." Colonel Todd´s residence in Russia, in the capacity of United States Minister to that country, his fine classical education and taste in literature, gave him many advantages for the investigation of the history and resources of that semi-barbarous nation about which so little is known even to this day. I have, for these reasons, thought best to print the lecture entire in this memoir. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
