The reading of your work which I have just finished, Life of Julius Cesar, makes me ask to Your Majesty the authorization to translate this work into Russian.´ Orlov refers to some of his own translation works, such as `..I have translated more than a military work, and in 1856 I published a detailed work on the marvellous military campaign of Iena and Auerstadt..´ VG
