Synopsis
Excerpt from The Accession of Nicholas I: Compiled, by Special Command of the Emperor Alexander II
But never, perhaps, were two of the great qualities of the departed sovereign - courage and presence of mind - destined to exhibit them selves more brightly and more intensely, than in the first moments of his reign. In conformity with the truly filial idea of his august Heir apparent, a detailed account of the events of the 14th of December, and of the occurrences which preceded that day, was drawn up as early as the year 1848. After perusing the narrative, and having, by repeated corrections in his own handwriting, given it his last approval, the late Emperor of glorious memory decidedly refused to permit the publication of this narrative. Such had been the march and connection of events and the personal actions of the young Monarch, that the mere simple, strict, and naked truth must have in this case appeared to assume the mask of flattery; and true greatness is ever accompanied by modesty.
