Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from When I Was a Boy in Russia
The life of this noted man, who gave up the privileges of noble birth in order to serve his fellow men, is well calculated to stir to enthusiasm the admiration of American youth.
The author's life in America, as well as his broad interest in freedom every where, renders him particularly well fitted to tell us of the tyranny of Russian schools in the middle of the last century.
