M. Auer, Vienne, 1855

Luxuriously bound copy of the French translation of this pamphlet published the same year as the Russian original text.
Nicholas I of Russia passed away on 2 March 1855 in the midst of the Crimean War. He caught a cold and refused medical treatment, which allegedly led to his death from pneumonia, although there were circulating rumours that he had committed suicide.
The present brochure provides an official version of the ruler's death. The author excludes the possibility of the tsar's suicide arguing in favour of his commitment to the Christian values.

An article in the Brockhaus and Efron encyclopaedia (vol 21, p. 124) names the author as Count Dmitriy Bludov (1785 - 1864), diplomat and statesman under Alexander I and Nicholas I, judge at the trial of Decembrists.

8vp (27.5 x 19 cm). 25 pp., with 3 plates. Contemporary silk binding, gilt upper cover; repaired, some loss of gilt, waterstains to lower cover.
