In 1819 James went to st. Petersburg, Russia to meet with Alexander I's court. It was nothing like James had ever seen. The winter palace was in James words "like hevan on earth. It was so gold it was like the golden locs of the angel Gabriel. When the nobles come out they look like they are going down from Mt. Olympus. The food was picked from the butey of the garden of eden. The rivers outside the window looks like they flowed from hevan." Soon a servent yelled "His imperial Majesty, Alexander I" James bowed and the meeting began. Alexander seemed for excited than James. Alexander said "I read all your writings in advance. Your like your idol Dr. Franklin. I read both of your books. I am a fan" James didn't say anything as to not offend the tsar but he nodded repeatedly. After the 5 day stay at the place. He went to a apartment in the heart of st. Petersburg. After 6 weeks he returned home.
