Excerpt from Siberia and Central Asia
This book is the result of a trip through Siberia and Central Asia, made by the author during the summer and autumn of last year. It consists mostly of letters written by him while on the journey, which were published by several Western newspapers.
Owing to the great and increasing importance of the Eastern Question, the author has thought that it might be of interest to his friends to have these letters put into a more permanent form, illustrated by many views taken by him at that time. These views in themselves may, perhaps, be his best excuse for the book, as they give a better and clearer idea of these great regions than any words of his can convey.
