PREFACE.
This book was published in October, 1888, while the
translator was in Copenhagen. The great interest taken
at the present time in the literature of Russia and in
everything which relates to that great country makes
all that aids in giving a correct impression of its
political and social condition specially acceptable. Dr.
Brandes is a shrewd observer of what he sees, and
has an established reputation as an acute literary critic.
During his lecturing tours he came in contact with the
leading men of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw.
The brighter aspects of the Russian problem are
incorporated in this volume, while his work on Poland
contains the more sombre picture of the oppression to
which that country has been subjected.
The translator desires to express his obligations to
Professor Rasmus B. Anderson, late United States
Minister to Denmark, for his advice and assistance, as
well as to the author, who is himself thoroughly
conversant with the English language and literature.
S. C. E.
Concord, N.H., May, 1889.
