Their ancestor a blacksmith, was presented with an iron mine and a title of nobility by Peter tbe Great, and bought properity in the Ural, on which were discovered extensive mines of copper, silver, and gold. At the same time as ihe corpse the monument was forwarded for the tomb in Siberia executed by the sculptor ftomanelli, at an expense of 40,000f. The road from Pratolino to Florence was adorned with flowers, and the Pullman car destined to receive the coffin was transformed into a richly ornamented chapel.

There the operative population who work in the late Prince's mines will lender the last honours to the deceased.
