At the outbreak of the present European war Mr. Graham was in Russia, and his book opens, therefore, with a description of the way the news of war was received on the Chinese frontier, one thousand miles from a railway station, where he happened to be when the Tsar’s summons came. Following this come other chapters on Russia and the War, considering such subjects as, Is It a Last War?, Why Russia Is Fighting, The Economic Isolation of Russia, An Aeroplane Hunt at Warsaw, Suffering Poland: A Belgium of the East and The Soldier and the Cross. But “Russia and the World” is not by any means wholly a war book. It is a comprehensive survey of Russian problems. Inasmuch as the War is at present one of her problems it receives its due consideration. It has been, however, Mr. Graham’s intention to supply the very definite need that there is for enlightenment in English and American circles as to the Russian nation, what its people think and feel on great world matters. On almost every country there are more books and more concrete information than on his chosen land. In fact, “Russia and the World” may be regarded as one of the very first to deal with it in any adequate fashion. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York Through Russian Central Asia BY STEPHEN GRAHAM _Illustrated, 8vo, $2.25_ This book describes a journey by the author through Russian Central Asia. Among the topics which the author touches upon are the Russian pioneers, Mohammedanism and its characteristic expression, the colored tribes, Russian rule, the expansion of the Russian empire and the question of danger to India. The volume tells of much tramping, of wayside experiences, of sights in the desert and nights under the Asian stars or in the tents of the nomads. “A delightful book.... Always and everywhere Stephen Graham has the gift of transferring his knowledge of Russia to the reader’s heart and brain.”--_Chicago Herald._ “Full of information and as charming as it is informing. It is rich in the lure of the open road ... in the romance of old cities, in the wilderness of the vast waste spaces.... In the view it gives of a phase of Russian life entirely new to American readers.”--_New York Times._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem BY STEPHEN GRAHAM _Decorated cloth, illustrated, 8vo, $2.75_ The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most significant thing in the Russian life of to-day. In the story lies a great national epic. “Mr. Stephen Graham writes with full sympathy for the point of view of the devout, simple-minded, credulous peasants whose companion he became in the trip by boat from Constantinople to Jaffa and thence on foot to the holy places.”--_The Nation._
