Excursions in the Interior of Russia

About this book

"HE who has seen only St. Petersburg, knows little of Russia, and still less of the Russians," said a learned German, who, having spent ten years in the Emperor's dominions, had enjoyed ample opportunity for studying the character of the nation to the utmost advantage, and, consequently, was well qualified to advise a foreigner on the best method he could adopt for becoming acquainted with the real condition and habits of this most interesting people.
