To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had this been otherwise, it would have grieved me much, for afterwards he was recommended to me by the Bishop of Peking in the name of the Propaganda.
The French translation of the imperial decree, together with the original copy in Tartar characters, was conveyed by the mandarins to the ambassador without the aid of the interpreter. I was however informed that he did not appear in the least sur- prised at the blame thus bestowed upon him, and that he again expressed his determination not to ma...ke the required prostra- tions, and to present the letter with his own hands.
The mandarins returned to the ambassador with an answer also written by the Emperor himself, but with more condescen- sion, and in the name of the government. Count Ismailof again declared in the same manner, that he would not make the prostrations, and demanded permission to place the Czar's letter himself in the hands of the Emperor.
His Majesty perceiving that the ambassador firmly persisted in this resolution, no longer corresponded with him in the name of the government, but sent several mandarins, accompanied by interpreters, of whom I was one, immediately from himself.
