Description
Excerpt from Russia''s Railway Advance Into Central Asia: Notes of a Journey From St. Petersburg to Samarkand
Anglo-russian relations, I have not written from the exclusively political point of View. It has always seemed to me that prejudice and confusion of ideas about Russia are due in a very great measure to this purely political treat ment.
An impartial book of a general character, such, for instance, as Schuyler''s Turkistan, which in my opinion has not been superseded by any subsequent work, may be more useful in helping Englishmen to draw their own poli tical conclusions than many of the writings of professional politicians and journalists. This merit, at least, I hope, I may claim for the results of my own humble efforts.
