Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Russians at Home and the Russians Abroad, Vol. 1: Sketches, Unpolitical and Political, of Russian Life Under Alexander II
A long preface is sometimes a worse evil than even a big book and the two volumes now offered to the public form a work of rather formidable dimensions. The author has nothing to say about them except that the first volume is Wholly unpolitical, and that it consists for the most part of chapters selected, and in many cases abridged, from a book published not many years after the accession of the Emperor Alexander II., under the title of the Russians at Home While.
