KARAMSIN, THE RUSSIAN HISTORIAN AND 
POET. 
Nicholas Von Karamsin was born on the 
13th of December (O. S,) 1765, in the 
government of Vimbersk, We was edu 
cated at Moscow, under the eye of John 
Schaden, a celebrated: professor of phi-- 
losophy in the university. For ‘a time 
Karamsin' was a student m the university; 
of Moscow. Having served for some years’ 
in the Imperial Guard du Corps, ‘he}j'in the 
ceurse of 1789, 1790, and 1791, travelled 
nearly all over Europe. The resulthe*gave 
to the world in four volumes; ‘under the 
title of ‘f Letters of a Russian Traveller.”’ 
From 1792 till 1803, he resided in Moscow,’ 
engaged in literary and scientific “pursuits, 
In the latter year, the Emperor Alexander: 
gave’ him the appointment of historio~ 
grapher of the Russian empire. In 1816 
he left Moscow to reside at St. Peters- 
bargh; in that year he-also had the satis- 
faction of presenting to the emperor the 
cight first volumes of his ‘* History of the 
Russian Empire,’ a performance for which 
he was honoured with the rank of Honorary 
Counsellor of State, and with the Order of 
St. Anne of the First Class. In 182] the 
ninth volume of his history appeared, and 
in 1823 the tenth and eleventh. In 1824 
the rank of Actual Counsellor of State was 
conferred upon him. ‘The two last years of 
his life were occupied by the composition of 
the twelfth volume of his history, which he 
did not entirely complete. That volume 
was to bring down the nartative to the 
reign of Czar Michael Feodorwitsch, the 
grandfather of Peter the Great, and the 
founder of the now reigning family of 
Romanoff. 
Karamsin’s health had been extremely 
delicate for some years. The death of the 
Emperor Alexander gave an irreparable 
shock to his constitution; he fell into a 
rapid consumption, and, on the 3d of June, 
he died at his apartments in the Tauric 
Palace, of an incurable abscess in the 
lungs. During his illness he was not only
