Synopsis

This book, from the series Primary Sources: Historical Books of the World (Asia and Far East Collection), represents an important historical artifact on Asian history and culture. Its contents come from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous generations.

That excellent use will be made of any sum confided to this admirable organisation there is no doubt. The Editor ventures to hope that, engaging freely in this common labour of love and mercy, Russian and British contributors may perchance find their sympathies with one another deepened, and that, by revealing to readers perhaps hitherto unacquainted with Russia, if only the merest glimpse into her 1S ee pp. 221-228.
