Excerpt from Through Russia in War-Time
Though fully alive to the numerous defects of this slight narrative, I trust its appearance is justified. Only long residence, which I have not enjoyed, can qualify to speak authoritatively of a vast and unique country. Nevertheless personal experience has its worth, and there is widespread and growing interest in all that pertains to Russia. Recent stupendous political events in Petrograd must still further compel attention to a land valiantly striving after internal reforms, while taking a doughty part in the world's battle for an enlightened civilization. Here and there I have gathered a little help, which I beg gratefully to acknowledge, from the writings of Sir D. Mackenzie Wallace and Messrs. A. Platonovich Engelhardt, E. H. Palmer, Michell, E. Nisbet Bain, and Rambaud. The illustrations are from photographs taken by me, mostly in the course of my journey, but a few during a previous winter.
