The amount of information circulating among theE nglish about the phenomena of Russian life is so sparse and so out of proportion to the increasing interest in the subject, that every new book concerning Russia should call forth special attention from theE nglish public, especially if it gives information which cannot be derived from any other source. And so it is, undoubtedly, with the present volume. Characters both official and unofficial of the most different types, positions, and activity, pass before the reader in vivid pictures.
