RUSSIA OF TO-DAY
BY
E. VON DER BRÜGGEN
Translated by M. SANDWITH
The Times says:—“Few among the numerous books dealing with the Russian Empire which have appeared of late years will be found more profitable than Baron von der Brüggen’s ‘ Das Heutige Russland,’ an English version of which has now been published.”
Illustrated London News says:—“Baron von der Brüggen may be congratulated on having produced a work which, while it undoubtedly paints the present condition of Russia in very sombre colours, is nevertheless free from exaggeration. His description of the finances of the country, and his exposure of the juggleries of M. Witte, are masterful and convincing; nor can his picture of the condition of the peasantry be said to be overdrawn. His logic and his facts are inexorable.”
Leeds Mercury says:—“It will be some time before this book is superseded. That is the highest tribute we can pay to a compilation that for fairness, clearness of statement, and exactitude of knowledge, it would be hard to find a parallel to.... No one can study it without profit and instruction.”
