_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS_:
"LIGHT ON A LYCEUM PLAY."
"Mr. Nisbet Bain's new volume about the makers of Russia
could not have appeared at a time more opportune for the
attraction of popular interest than the moment when Sir
Henry Irving has taken it upon him to interpret for us,
on the stage of the Lyceum, the character of Peter the
Great. His familiarity with the history and politics of
Northern Europe in the last century renders him peculiarly
fitted for the task of presenting us with a picture of the
Russian Court and Empire up to the death of the Empress
Anne."--_Daily Chronicle._
"Mr. Bain has here put together from authentic sources
an interesting and useful book. Without attempting the
picturesque, he has written a book that attracts the
reader; his judgment is sound, he is unprejudiced and
tolerant, and he understands the strange world that he is
depicting. His portraits have the great merit of fidelity,
and he has a good knowledge of contemporary European
politics."--_Manchester Guardian._
"An excellent piece of historical study, founded entirely
on original research, sober, broad, and sympathetic in
treatment, with a fine sense of historical proportion, and
most illuminating as respects the light it throws on a dark
and ill-known time and country."--_Spectator._
