First published in 1968. This is a volume of selected passages from
the extensive diary of General Gordon: the soldier of fortune,
whose memoirs are now introduced to the Spadling Club, who had been
but a short while dead when public attention was turned to the
eight or ten thick quartos, in which, for forty years, he had
recorded, day by day, the incidents of his eventful life. So early
as 1724, a translation of the Journal from its original English
into Russian. In printing these selections, an attempt has been
made so far to connect them together, by an outline of Gordon's
life in the interval, with occasional quotations from some of the
more memorable pages of his Journal, such as those in which he
notes the beginnings of his intimacy with Peter the Great or
chronicles the prompt and vigorous acts by which he quelled the
revolt of the Strelitzes.
