Synopsis
Excerpt from Innermost Asia: Travel Sport in the Parmis
For the information of the reader who may hold views as to Russian policy, I may explain that I entered Russian territory without any prejudices, and that while I had not previously had sufficient Opportunities for gauging the good points in Muscovite methods to justify my posing as a Russophil, I most certainly had not been tempted to follow the creed of the Russophobe. In the course of my travels, I made many firm friends among the Russian Officers I chanced to meet, and I still correspond with several of these, whom I regard as thoroughly good fellows and particularly charming acquaint auces, but my appreciation of the kindly hospitality and genial characteristics Of the men did not prejudice me in regard to the system they follow in their official relations, and I have described the Government method in force as I saw it without fear or favour.
