NOTE.
At a time when the Tsar's European tour is engaging public attention, the following description of his recent coronation is of particular interest. So far, we have had nothing but the newspaper accounts of that so-called "great event"; which accounts present nothing but the conventional, superficial laudations of a spectacle which enlightened conscience and sober reason must see in a wholly different light.
The writer of these pages, who signs himself "De Monte Alto," is obliged to hide his identity. What he has written, however, will commend itself as the work of a careful observer and faithful reporter. We may thank him for thus gathering and presenting the facts, and showing us something of the inner truth, of an event which the European public have known only through "official statements" and the reports of those whose interest it is to praise "the powers-that-be."
