After they had sung the praises of the new- born Deity at his house. General Lefort recreated them all with pleasanter music, banqueting and danc- ing. LJi, tli January, 1699. — The wealthiest merchant of Muscovy, whose name is Filadilow, gave such of- fense by having only presented twelve roubles to the 110...
