RUSSIA IN ASIA
A RECORD AND A STUDY
1558-1899

ALEXIS KRAUSSE
Author of “China in Decay”

Spectator.—“It is well that the vague alarm generally inspired in the average Englishman by the thought of Russian successes in Asia should be replaced by exact knowledge. Books without number have already been written upon the several phases of the Russian advance, but Mr. Krausse’s volume is, we think, the first concise presentation in English of its entire history.”
