Excerpt from Under the Czar and Queen Victoria: The Experiences of a Russian ReformerDuring my lecture tours over the United Kingdom it was frequently suggested to me, even urged by many friends, to publish some Of my addresses, as well as my own story, giving an account of my work in Russia among Jews and Christians, and of my conflicts - as a schoolmaster, preacher, writer, and Russian subject generally - with the Government, priesthood, press cen sorship, &c., The more I become acquainted with the British public, the more I feel convinced Of the inadequacy of its knowledge of the prevailing state of affairs in the Empire of the Czars, and of the bearing Of this upon European Politics and Economics. Though 'several valu able works have recently appeared on the subject, still it seemed to me, that my own humble story may not be void Of general interest, touching, as it does, on some aspects of modern life, especially of religious movements in Russia, but little treated Of before in any English publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
