This volume was published in 1879.
From the book's Preface:
This book, descriptive of a visit paid to Russia during his
annual furlough, in the autumn of this year, is given to the
public, because the author has reason to believe that the
publication would be acceptable to not a few friends, and
because of the interest at present felt by many in "Men and
Things Russia". The author states nothing in the book that
has not been matter of his own observation or experience,
or with regard to which he has not obtained information from
what would be considered the most reliable sources. He has
set down nothing in prejudice, or to serve any end but that of
truth; and, beyond everythig, he seeks by his work to foster
friendly feelings with a great people, whode well-being is
bound up with our own.
Carlisle, December 1878
