[2] I plead for liberty to use this expression, which is to be found in Shakespeare. [3] _Statistical Reports for the Gubernia of Ryazañ, District of Ryazañ_, Vol. I., pp. 2-4.

[6] As the investigation of the _gubernia_ of Ryazañ had not been brought to an end, the gaps have been filled in most cases by referring to the _Reports_ for the _gubernias_ of Voronezh, Tamboff and Smolensk, which are now likewise among those affected by the famine.
