He is dark-complexioned; and he wears his hair, which is remarkably thick, clubbed, and dressed with a high toupee.

His forehead is high; his eyes large and blue, with a little squint; and when he smiles, his upper lip is drawn up a little in the middle.

His look expresses sagacity and observation, but nothing very amiable; and his manner is grave and stiff rather than affable.

He was dressed, when I first saw him, in a light-blue frock with silver frogs; and wore a red waistcoat and blue breeches.

He is not very popular among the Russians; and accordingly their wits are disposed to amuse themselves with his appearance, and particularly with his toupee.
