Excerpt from Travels in Russia, &C, , Vol. 1 of 2Notwithstanding that the two capitals of Russia have been frequently described, I have been induced to lay before the public my own observations, trusting that these sketches of them will be found to contain many particulars that have been passed by without notice by other travellers. In fact, the improvements that have taken place at St. Petersburg during the reign of Alexander, and the renovation of Moscow, have tended to render preceding descriptions obsolete, while those who have more recently visited these places, have, by no means, de scribed them so fully as to supersede any occa sion for similar works. Neither do I myself pretend to have supplied their omissions, yet I may, perhaps, be allowed to say, that I have con tributed a few gleanings to the common stock of our information relative to Russia, a country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
