RUSSIA UNDER THE AUTOCRAT NICHOLAS I.
By IVAN GOLOVINE, a Russian Subject.
Cheaper Edition, 2 vols., with a full-length Portrait of the Emperor, 10s. bound.
"These are volumes of an extremely interesting nature, emanating from the pen of a Russian, noble by birth, who has escaped beyond the reach of the Czar's power. The merits of the work are very considerable. It throws a new light on the state of the empire—its aspect, political and domestic—its manners; the employés about the palace, court, and capital; its police; its spies; its depraved society," &c.—Sunday Times.

By CAPTAIN GOLOWNIN.
New and Cheaper Edition. 2 vols. post 8vo, 10s. bound.
"No European has been able, from personal observation and experience, to communicate a tenth part of the intelligence furnished by this writer."—British Review.
