Sivu 168 - ... enormous cauldrons of brass, and eighty gibbets. Five hundred of the most illustrious nobles, already torn by tortures, were dragged thither; some were massacred amidst the joyful acclamations of his savage satellites ; but the major part of them expired under the protracted agony of being slashed with knives by the courtiers of the Muscovite monster.
Sivu 147 - sends him this illustrious spouse, an offset of that imperial tree, the shadow of which was formerly spread over all orthodox Christian brothers.

Sivu 61 - Jauffret, ii. 84. doubtless reckoned the treaty they had recently extorted from him. But by how many great actions did he not atone for this great error! When, in 1093, his father died in his arms, on the throne of Kief, which he bequeathed to him, and of which all good citizens implored his acceptance, he refused it.

He was born of gentle , but very poor parents ; and they dying, left him very young without any education , insomuch that he could neither read nor write , nor ever did he to the day of his death : his poverty obliged him to seek service in Moscow, where he was taken into the house of a pastry-cook...
