	St. Petersburg Article in Encyclopaedia Britannica
		1716, Peter, taking a fancy to the island Wasili-Osterno, which he had given as a present to prince Menzikoff, resumed the grant, and ordered the city to be extended into this quarter.
		Besides, Peter was averse to this expedient for another reason: resolved to accustom his subjects to navigation, he not only rejected the prospect of a bridge, but also ordered that no boat should pass between the islands and the continent, except by the help of sails only.
		Above all, the grand object of Peter, that of having a formidable navy in the Baltic, has certainly been obtained, and the Empress of Russia is now the arbitress of the north, and in some degree the mediatrix of all Europe.

		Peter's sole surviving son, Alexis, born on February 19,1690, was ignored by his father till he was nine years old, when his education was confided to learned foreigners who taught him French, history, geography, and mathematics.
		Peter himself wrote to Alexis in much the same strain, reproaching him bitterly for thus exposing his father to shame, but, swearing solemnly "before God and His judgment seat," that if he came back he should not be punished in the least, but treasured as a son.
		The whole system of Peter was deliberately directed against the chief evils from which old Moscovy had always suffered, such as, dissipation of energy, dislike of co-operation, repudiation of responsibility, lack of initiative, the tyranny of the family, the insignificance of the individual.

	UWFC: About P. Artedi
		In most cases, however, all that the modern worker has to rely on is the published accounts of fish or fishes, and of all the literature that Linnaeus cited, the work of Artedi is outstanding in its precise detail, and is thus the most helpful in determining the real identity of Linnaean species.
		Thus, the study of Peter Artedi's Ichthyologia is as essential to the twentieth-century worker, as it was to Linnaeus and as it has been to the ichthyologists of the two previous centuries.
		Little seems to be known of Peter Artedi's stay in London, except that he had evidently been made welcome by a number of learned men.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Information
		Most of the statues and busts were made by Venetian masters between 1716 and 1725 under the supervision of Count Savva Lukich Vladislavich-Raguzinsky (1669-173 8), who was in the Russian service and lived in Venice from 1716-1722.
		Another of Peter the Great's agents, Yuri Ivanovich Kologrivov (circa 1690-1754) was active mainly in Rome, where he bought ancient sculptures, copies of the ancient sculptures and also works by 17th century masters.
		This information gives us a broader understanding of Peter the Great's unique interest in sculpture, which is all the more remarkable given that until the end of the 17th century Russia had no experience with sculpture in the round due to prohibitions by the Orthodox Church.

		Nevertheless, the traditional reverence for paired warrior-saints, the ritual of "making brothers," and the fact that Peter the Great (reigned 1689-1725) banned sodomy in the army and navy (in 1716) all suggest that male same-sex love was not an unknown feature of military service.
		Petersburg, founded in 1703, served as Peter's "window on the West," force-feeding the new Imperial elite Western "civilization." Aristocrats and gentry absorbed new manners, including the mixing of the sexes, and a new sense that marital relations could be a source of personal fulfillment.
		Peter's 1716 military ban on sodomy was intended to begin this transformation where he needed to create "new men" first, in the army and navy.

		The Ambassador brought the child, and his brother, to Peter the Great who also was impressed with the quality of the young man and installed Abram in the Czar's Court, with subsequent promotions to valet, secretary and then custodian for the monarch's private library.
		In 1716, Peter sent Abram to Paris to further study engineering, and while there he served in the French Army as an Engineering Lieutenant in the Spanish war, until Peter ordered him home in 1723.
		Poltava (1828) and The Bronze Horseman (1833) glorify Peter the Great---inspired, no doubt in part, by his ancestral connection to the Czar; the poems are titled for Peter's greatest military victory at Poltava in 1709 against the Swedes, and his equestrian statue in St. Petersburg.

	Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz -- Metaphysics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		So, for example, the statement "Peter is ill (on January 1st, 1999)" was true in the year 1998 (even though no one knew it yet) as well as in the year 2000 (even though everyone may have forgotten about the illness by then).
		Between 1715 and 1716, at the request of Caroline, Princess of Wales, a series of long letters passed between Leibniz and the English physicist, theologian, and friend of Newton, Samuel Clarke.
		This seemed acceptable, perhaps, for propositions such as "Caesar crossed the Rubicon" or "Peter is ill." But what about "This leaf is to the left of that leaf?" The latter proposition involves not one subject, but three (the two leaves, and whatever is occupying the point-of-view from which the one is "to the left").
