Russia in Central Asia in 1889 and the Anglo-Russian Question

The nucleus of this book less than one-third of its present dimensions appeared in the shape of a series of articles, entitled Eussia inC entral A sia, which I contributed to theM anchester Courier and other leading English provincial newspapers, in the months of November and December 1888, and January 1889. These articles were descriptive of a journey which I had taken in the months of September andO ctober 1888, along the newly-constructed Transcaspian Eailway, through certain of the Central A sian dominions of the Czar of Russia. Exigencies of space, however, and the limitations of journalistic propriety, prevented me from including in my letters a good deal of information which I had obtained; and were, of course, fatal to the incorporation with the narrative of illustrations or maps.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
