Excerpt from Greater Russia the Continental Empire, of the Old World
There has been a great awakening of Russia. The people, debarred generally from active participation in politics, have directed their energies towards the commercial and industrial exploitation of their native land. They are active, strenuous, and persevering they have advanced in civilisation as well as increased their wealth and power. By territorial expansion Russia has taken a long stride forward towards the attainment of world supremacy, and boasts that the step is but the begin ning of her progress towards the realisation of her manifest destiny.
This is the greater Russia to which the attention of the reader is invited. For obvious reasons this treatise does not even pretend to present a complete picture of such an immense continental empire, still less to give an exhaustive account of its resources, a full description of its natural features.
