'Russia' is a detailed account of the contemporary situation in the Russian Empire, exploring all aspects of country and life from agriculture and commerce to social characteristics and beyond. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Russian history, and it would make for a superb addition to collections of related literature.

He was the first such professor in Britain and wrote many books on the subject, including 'A Grammar of the Russian Language' (1889), 'The Story of Russia' (1890), and 'Slavonic Region' (1904). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
