Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Russia as It Really Is
I do not challenge the rights of any man. But it is unfortunate when a few scribbling pens can lead a nation to false impressions. And here I would point out that the Russian immigrant to this country knows about as much of his own country as the average street pedlar in Whitechapel knows of the British Empire.
I took some friends of mine one day to White chapel to demonstrate this very fact. I gave them leave to select their own subjects for examination. They found the man they wanted, and we sat down to talk. He was a well-dressed man who could read and write Russian.
