Through Siberia and Manchuria By Rail (Classic Reprint)

This short account of my journey jrovi London to Shanghai by way of tlic Siberian Railway was at first intended for private circulation only, in order to meet t Jie enquiries of numerous personal friends. Now, however, that war has broken out between Russia and Japan, and that it may be years before this, the longest railway in the world, is again open to international traffic, I feel that any information, however slight, concerning so stupendous an undertaking, as well as about the remote region which it traverses, may be of interest to the general public. wish to emphasize that much of what is herein described -was seen only ftom the windows of a moving train, and must therefore be lacking in thai accuracy and detail which closer inspection could alone insure. %, The Russian words KTO HAET-b? on the cover signify who goes there ?, and the Chinese characters l1$ represent my surname. The Russian cross at 3the end, is that of the original Greek Church. IS hanghai, 20th February,
