ISWOLZY. “_Légation Impériale de Russe près le Saint Siège._” “We are separated from the Western world by difference of race, culture, and history, and the Western mind is very hard in understanding us. Therefore the testimony of a just and unprejudiced mind is always gratefully appreciated in Russia. C. POBEDONOSTZEFF, “_Petersburg._ _Président du Saint Synod_.” “I was not only pleased with _Slav and Moslem_, but acknowledge a large accretion to my knowledge of the subject.

J. HUGHES, _Author of the “Dictionary of Islam_.” “I regard _Slav and Moslem_ as a very valuable contribution to the history of Russia. You are entitled to great credit for your comprehensive view of the Russian Government and people.

JULIETTE ADAM.” “I have read many books on Russia, but none met with my approval to such an extent as _Slav and Moslem_.... The statements and descriptions of the Russians are so correct.... During the years of my official stay I studied the people, their history and language, and know what I am talking about. JOHN KAREL, _U.S. Consul at St. Petersburg_.” “For the chapter on the Crimea alone your book deserves the thanks of all who would study the present century. GEO. J.
