The Spectator.—“Mr Graham writes so well that the aspects of his subject tend to transfigure themselves under the spell of a style whose delicate phrasing and soft melancholy often remind one of Loti’s subtle-hued visions of men and things seen from beneath the half-closed eyelids of artist and dreamer. Certainly there is in Mr Graham’s mood and expression some elusively un-English element that makes his work read at times like perfectly translated French. Still, his sadness has its source, not in the passive weariness of Loti, surfeited with civilisation and experience, but in the mysticism of a born wanderer.”

WITH SOME NOTES OF HIS EXPERIENCES AMONG THE RUSSIANS

Country Life.—“With a waterproof sleeping-sack across his shoulders, and a strong infusion of Carlyle, Swinburne, and Nietzsche in his head, the author of this wholly delightful book set out to wander in the Caucasus. It was the spirit of Lavengro, however, that supplied the real driving power, for in his veins, clearly, the sweet passion of earth runs side by side with a strong savour of humanity. Youth, spontaneity, and enthusiasm colour these striking Caucasian pictures, for the vagabond was also a poet. You follow his adventures with the same interest you follow an engrossing novel, because you see the man and feel something of his passion.”
