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 SPALDING CLUB, 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.
