Excerpt from Russia as It Really Is It is my object, in the following pages, to give a true faithful account of the present state of the Russian Empire. That many books have been published on t he subject within the last few years I am aware. Volume after volume describing social and even political life in Russia has made its appearance; but all are written from the print of view either of the traveller, or of the alien politician who seeks to demonstrate the effects of Russian expansion on the policy of his own particular country. Some have been written with but scanty knowledge and restricted powers of observation, other are dependent on official information for the facts (?) which they set forth. Not long ago I was honoured with the presentation of two books on Russia by the author of them. I took time to read them, and then I laid them aside, and pondered how those books could have been written, published and sold to the public. They purported to describe Russia - it might almost as well have been Timbuctoo. And they were not novels at that, but works dealing with the political and social life of Russia.
