This book. Was published in October, 1888, while the translator was in Copenhagen. The great interest taken at the present time in the literature of Russia and in everything which relates to that great country makes all that aids in giving a correct impression of its political and social condition specially acceptable. Dr. Brandes is a shrewd observer of what he sees, and has an established reputation as an acute literary critic. During his lecturing tours he came in contact with the leading men of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw.
