This is a very unusual old book from the World War I era. This is a First Edition book which was published in March, 1915 by The Macmillan Company, New York. The book measures 5 ¾ inches by 8 inches and contains xi, 305 pages. The blue cloth cover has the title in gilt on the front and down the spine. This is a former library copy and has the requisite markings and the pocket on the inside back cover. The cover shows signs of wear and soiling. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips or foxing. The half title page has some scotch tape markings. It appears as though the book has been previously repaired. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is fair.

Excerpt Introduction:
In December, 1913, when I was just returning to Russia after my tramp in America, The London Times came forward and put its columns at my disposal, and I was able to record my impressions there throughout the whole of the year.
