The book is well-researched and provides an accurate depiction of the historical events and customs of the time.Overall, Calvert of Strathore is a gripping and engaging novel that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and anyone interested in the early history of America.The day after Calvert's arrival was a long and busy one for him. He was closeted from morning until night with Mr. Jefferson, who explained to him the many private affairs awaiting transaction, as well as much of the important official business of the Legation. It was also necessary that he should be thoroughly au courant with the political outlook of the times and the entire state of European affairs, and in those shifting, troublesome days it was no easy matter to thoroughly understand the drift of events. Russia was the cynosure of all eyes at that moment, and on her throne sat the most ambitious, the most daring, the most brilliant, and the most successful queen the world has ever seen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
