It is true the murder of the Chief of Police created a deep impression. Still, it was hardly as important as the affair he had in mind. To steal and destroy the miracle-working ikon--that would be something to crow about! Poltinin said....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
