Yasnaya Polyana, P. A. Sergeyenko: Niva, No. 34, 1908.

For much information in this chapter as well as elsewhere I am indebted to Tolstoy himself, to the Countess S. A. Tolstoy, to his sister, and particularly to his daughter, Mary Lvovna, Princess Obolensky.
Information concerning the execution of the soldier is given in Pravo for 1903.
Prince D. D. Obolensky's Vospominaniya appeared in Roussky Arhiv, 1896.
See also, Graf L. N. Tolstoy, Vospominaniya S. P. Arbouzova: Moscow, 1908.
Arbouzof was in Tolstoy's service twenty-two years. He gives his master an excellent character; and though very inaccurate, his naive chatter is readable, and throws light on Tolstoy's character.
