| London 30 Decemb. 1868.
My dear Sir,
I enclose the paper on “the titles given to the Czars
of Muscovy” which I have at last found
. The pith of the paper
is this, that the Czars were only
x
(?)
//
named “Emperours” in the sense in which the princes of Morocco and Fez and other
Non-European Princes were styled so. But
Peter
I
claimed the title of Emperor in the sense in which it was given
to the German Emperors.
During the course of this year a great many books and pamphlets have been
published in Russia (in
Russian
language, of course) on
the
progress of Russia in Central Asia
.
Mr.
Borkheim
has a
collection of those prints
. I have prevailed upon him
to put together the facts, quoting at the same time the Russian sources. As soon
he has done with his extracts, I shall send them to you for use in the
Diplom
atic
Review
. You
would much oblige me by lending me
the numbers of the
Diplomatic Review
referring to the
Candia Affairs
, and
principally the number containing Extracts from the
pamphlet
of a
Garibaldian
volunteer
. My own numbers I have sent to
a
friend in Germany.
| With the compliments of the season to yourself and
family.
Yours truly
Karl Marx
