Excerpt from The Christian Herald, Vol. 6: April 17, 1819-April 20, 1820 It was not until yesterday that our fifth Anniversary was held; and I now proceed to give you some account of this Meeting. As the court is absent, and a great number of the inhabitants of the capital still in the country, it was expected that only few people would be present; and it was even proposed, on this se count, to defer the Meeting till the next Spring. This, however, was over-ruled; and it was agreed, at our last Committee, that the Anniversary should be held, however late, and however small the number might be who were expected to attend. His imperial Majesty having granted the use of the Tauridian Palace, as usual, we entered the great hall at eleven o'clock; and, contrary to all our expectations, we found it nearly full, and, in a few minutes, it was crowded. The large rooms, on the right and left of the hall, were also nearly full; and some hun dreds went away who could not get in.
