IMPRESSIONS OF RUSSIA DR. GEORG BRANDES AUTHOR OF EMINENT AUTHORS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TRANSLATED FROM THE DANISH BY SAMUEL C EASTMAN NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL CO. 13 ASTOR PLACE COPYRIGHT, 1889, BY T. Y. CROWELL Co. C. J. PETERS SON, TYPOGRAPHERS AND ELECTROTYPERS, 145 HIGH STREET, BOSTON. P E E F A C E. 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. The brighter aspects of the Eussian problem are in corporated in this volume, while his work on Poland contains the more sombre picture of the oppression to which that country has been subjected. The translator desires to express his obligations to Professor Rasmus B. Anderson, late United States Minister to Denmark, for his advice and assistance, as well as to the author, who is himself thoroughly con versant with the English language and literature. CONTENTS.
