Did you know that our Sunday Times bestselling book,
The Rest Is History Returns, is now out in paperback?
From finding out who British history's biggest lad was to tracing the admittedly hazy ancient origins of Raiders of the Lost Ark,
it's filled cover to cover with more curious historical moments than you can crack a lasso at,
plus puzzles and a pub quiz.
The rest is History Returns, available now in all good bookshops.
The Tsar is a man of very hot temper, soon inflamed and very brutal in his passion.
He erases his natural heat by drinking much brandy,
which he rectified himself with great application.
He is subject to convulsive motions all over his body,
and his head seems to be afflicted with these.
He was desirous to understand our doctrine.
He was indeed resolved to encourage learning.
and to polish his people by sending some of them to travel in other countries,
and to draw strangers to come and live among them.
