Anecdotes Hitherto Unpublished of the Private Life of Peter the Great is a book written by Francois-Louis Comte d'Escherny that sheds light on the personal life of Peter the Great, the Tsar of Russia. The book is a collection of previously unknown anecdotes and stories about Peter the Great's private life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and lovers. The anecdotes cover a wide range of topics, from Peter's love of drinking and his fondness for practical jokes to his military campaigns and political achievements. The book provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Russia's most famous and influential leaders, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian history or the life of Peter the Great.1813. The following Anecdotes are given on the authority of Monsieur Stehling, who, in 1784, was a member of the Council of State to the Empress Catherine, and who had collected them from ocular or auricular witnesses, contemporaries of Peter the First, and had carefully subjoined at the bottom of each anecdote the name of the person from whom it had been derived, and who had guaranteed its authenticity. Monsieur Stehling's manuscript having been perused by d'Escherny were then committed to writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
