Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Empire of to-Day and Yesterday, 1913: The Country and Its Peoples, Together With a Brief Review of Its History, Past and Present, and a Survey of Its Social, Political and Economic Conditions It has been the aim of the author to trace the growth of Russia, and show how Moscow, one of the smallest of the principalities, or appanages of mediaeval times, gradually became dominant and extended its sovereignty over the whole of what is now the Russian Empire; to show how the Muscovites, once the least important of the Slav tribes, acquired ascendancy and overcame all rivals, including their far more powerful Slavonic neigh bour, Poland. It is a startling story, full of surprises and dramatic incidents, the like of which can be scarcely duplicated in the history of any other nation of'europe. With the exception of a study of Russian history, the author had read very little descriptive of Russia before his own travels throughout the Empire. He wished to form his own opinions at first hand, rather than visit the country with impressions previously formed. The read ing of a book descriptive of a country by a vigorous writer is sure to leave permanent impressions, which will colour the reader's opinion, and the better the book is written the stronger will be such effect. Since returning from his travels, however, which included a visit to every important section in European Russia, and some unusual opportunities for investigation, the author has read prac tically every book of consequence that has appeared in English upon that Empire. It would be impossible to give credit to every writer whose work has proved helpful in the preparation of this volume, but a list of those books will be found in the Bibliography in the Appendix. Many writers have given us travel sketches which have been the result of casual observation and a superficial study of the country, and these works will either be found extremely laudatory or else filled with aberrant criticism. They are either intense admirers or inconsiderate detractors of Russia and things Russian. It has been the aim of the author in the ensuing pages to give the Russian due credit for his good qualities, and at the same time not to Spare comment where criticism is due. Nothing has been ih cluded for the purpose of sensationalism; nor, on the other hand, has anything been omitted for fear it might offend Russian sensibilities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Empire of to-Day and Yesterday, 1913: The Country and Its Peoples, Together With a Brief Review of Its History, Past and Present, and a Survey of Its Social, Political and Economic Conditions The Russian Empire has long occupied a prominent place among the great countries of the world, but, although one of the most interesting of foreign lands, it has been but little visited by the great army of American tourists and travellers who annually cross the Atlantic. For that reason it is the least known of all the countries of Europe, although occupying an area nearly twice as large as all the other European nations together. Because of this general ignorance Russia has been a most fertile field for a host of sensational writers, who have disseminated much false and absurd information about both country and people. It is a country in which the less scrupulous of journalists are peculiarly at home. A German writer has characterized Russia as "The Land of Riddles." The country of the Czar is also frequently spoken of as the Sphinx, when reference is made to her diplomacy. It is indeed a difficult country to understand, because of the numerous diverse elements which enter into her political composition, and the diplomacy of Russia has caused many a nightmare for the statesmen of the rest of Europe. There is now, and has always been, a strong opposition on the part of the government to all publicity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book In the Land of the Romanovs written by Anthony Cross and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire. Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published. Far more than an inventory of accounts by travellers and tourists, Anthony Cross’s ambitious and wide-ranging work includes personal records of residence in or visits to Russia by writers ranging from diplomats to merchants, physicians to clergymen, gardeners to governesses, as well as by participants in the French invasion of 1812 and in the Crimean War of 1854-56. Providing full bibliographical details and concise but informative annotation for each entry, this substantial bibliography will be an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in contacts between Russia and the West during the centuries of Romanov rule.
