NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
=The Times.= (_One column._)
“The reader who will follow this long Odyssey, with all its episodes
of considerable hardships, and not without dangers, will find in Mr.
Lansdell’s volumes all that can interest him about Siberia--a country
which was once looked upon merely as a place of durance and banishment,
with weeping and gnashing of teeth, but which begins now to be better
known as a land in many parts of prodigious fertility and transcendent
beauty.... Mr. Lansdell appears to have been delighted with almost
everything he saw.... He lays claim to the character of an impartial
writer, and if his mind was in any way biased it can only have been by
those warm chivalrous sympathies which prompted him to an enterprise
of charity and humanity, and by a sense of gratitude for the great
kindness and hospitality with which he seems to have been welcomed at
every stage of his progress.”
=The Athenæum.= (_Five columns._)
“With the exception of Mr. Mackenzie Wallace’s ‘Russia,’ the best book
on a Russian subject which has appeared of late years is Mr. Lansdell’s
‘Through Siberia.’ It is a genuine record of a remarkable expedition,
written by a traveller who has evidently eyes with which to see
clearly, and a mind free from prejudice or bias, whether political or
theological.... Mr. Lansdell may be congratulated on having rendered a
great service to the convict population of Russia.... But the service
which he has rendered to English readers is of a more signal nature....
Mr. Lansdell’s book will now enable every one to judge for himself.”
=The Illustrated London News.=
“We can promise the readers of Mr. Lansdell’s book a great deal of
entertainment, combined with instruction, in the survey of such an
immense field of topography, natural history, and ethnology, and in the
plentiful anecdotes of wayside experience and casual observation....
His statements are characterised by an imposing air of precision, and
are fortified by official statistics, which claim due attention from
those candidly disposed to investigate the subject.”
=Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society.=
“Mr. Lansdell’s work contains much incidental detail likely to be
of practical utility to other travellers, apart from its special
philanthropic and economical aspects, and the convenience of its
collected descriptive matter. The observations on the various races met
with, especially in the extreme eastern part of the journey, are of
considerable interest, as are the accounts of the actual conditions of
the country at the present time.”
=Church Missionary Intelligencer.= (_Four pages._)
“Mr. Lansdell has spared no pains or labour to make his book as
complete as possible. It is altogether different from even the
higher class of books of travel. It teems with information of every
possible kind; ... the footnotes are quite a remarkable feature for
the minuteness of statistical detail with which every subject touched
upon--geographical and ethnographical, economic and commercial,
ecclesiastical and literary, imperial and municipal--is illustrated.”
=The Record.= (_One column._)
“The interest of ‘Through Siberia’ is varied, and the revelations of
the book will attract various minds. The Christian will find herein
much which will move his pity for souls; the ecclesiastic will note
with attention many striking passages which will assist his studies
in comparative religion, and supply links between different ages
and differing Churches; the philanthropist will engage himself with
existing human wrongs, and seek for suggestions as to methods for
redressing and removing them; the statesman may find light, lurid,
indeed, and terrible, cast on pressing questions of State policy and
relation of classes; while the man of science will not search these
pages in vain for facts in ethnology, geography, geology, climatology,
sociology, and philology, which will enrich his stores and supply
missing links in his world of study.”
=The Field.=
“The utmost commendation must be given to the reverend author, not
only for his personal work, but for the good taste that has impelled
him to describe his religious labours in language understanded of the
laity.... His observations on the varied aspect of the country, its
products and capabilities, the actual condition of cities and villages,
society, means of travel and accommodation, and the many tribes and
races met with, will be perused by the general reader with the greatest
interest; whilst a good index enables the student of ethnology,
mineralogy, and other physical sciences, etc., to discover the many
special notes scattered throughout the book.”
=The Globe.= (_One column._)
“In addition to a large amount of valuable information respecting
convict life in Siberia, the author gives many interesting details
of the semi-barbarous countries through which he travelled.... The
illustrations and maps will be found very serviceable in elucidating
the text, and the work as a whole deserves no slight measure of praise.”
=The Rock.= (_One column._)
“The volumes are got up with great care, and remarkably well
illustrated. The books will amply repay perusal; and to all who desire
to obtain an insight into Russian manners and customs we confidently
recommend them.”
=The Academy.= (_Four columns._)
“His book is full of interesting, valuable, and amusing information....
Mr. Lansdell is never tedious; and we are of opinion that ‘Through
Siberia’ is much more entertaining, and certainly more readable, than
many novels.”
=The United Service Gazette.= (_Three columns._)
“There is plenty of real novelty in Siberia without troubling the
novelist any more. Certainly no more entertaining book of the kind,
combined with usefulness, has been issued from the press for a long
time.... Everywhere there is something new to tell us, and we wonder
why in the world it is that Siberia has been left out in the cold so
long.”
=Paper and Print.= (_One column._)
“‘Through Siberia’ is a book which every Englishman ought to read....
Mr. Lansdell’s book will create a lasting sensation, and will also
provide food for reflection for all who take an interest in the affairs
of their fellow-creatures.”
=The St. James’s Gazette.= (_One column._)
“Mr. Lansdell has made a point of avoiding politics; nor does it form
part of his plan to inquire why the exiles, imprisoned or confined to
particular districts in Siberia, were sent there. He deals only with
their actual condition; and this he certainly shows to be much better
than is generally supposed.”
=The Pall Mall Gazette.= (_Two columns._)
“In some ways Mr. Lansdell has a better right to speak about Siberia
than any previous western traveller. He went right through the country,
from Tiumen on the Ural boundary, to Nikolaefsk on the Pacific
coast.... His views upon the Russian penal system are undoubtedly
founded upon honest personal conviction.... Apart even from its main
subject, it teems with useful information about the country and the
people, some tribes of which Mr. Lansdell has perhaps been the first so
fully to describe.”
=The Fireside.= (_Three pages._)
“As a work of rare interest, we commend to our readers Mr. Lansdell’s
charming traveller’s story, a book of which three-fourths of the
first edition were sold before it had fairly reached the publishers’
counter.... That he has succeeded in gathering a mass of reliable
information is evident; for a Russian Inspector of Prisons writes
respecting the proof-sheets of the work: ‘What you say is so perfectly
correct, that your book may be taken as a standard even by Russian
authorities.’”
=Fraser’s Magazine.= (_Thirteen pages._)
“It is no more than the simple truth which Mr. Lansdell speaks when
he claims that he is in a unique position among all those who have
written on the subject. He has gone where he pleased in Siberia.... His
testimony, therefore, is simply the best that exists.... Of course it
is difficult to hope that his testimony will be accepted by everyone;
there are too many who, as a popular proverb says, ‘love truth, but
invite the lie to dinner.’ But I have faith that the majority of
Englishmen will perceive the untrustworthiness of Nihilistic and Polish
sources. If I am wrong, it would only prove that public opinion, even
in England, has lost its value.”

=Harper’s Monthly Magazine.= (_One column._)
“Since the time of Howard, no one has given us so full and fair an
account of Russian prisons as is now presented to us by Mr. Lansdell,
and like Howard, he finds the Russians far less cruel jailers than they
are generally credited or discredited with being.”
=The Baptist.= (_Two columns._)
“The effect of Mr. Lansdell’s laborious investigations from one end of
the country to the other cannot but be salutary, and cannot, we are
disposed to think, fail to promote a good understanding between Russia
and other countries.... It is strange, but none the less true, that no
government in the world has been so ludicrously misrepresented as the
Russian, and a man who undertakes to set matters in a true light before
the eyes of the world deserves the gratitude of all parties. This Mr.
Lansdell has done, and his book will rank as a leading book of the
season.”
=The Saturday Review.= (_Three columns._)
“Mr. Lansdell is an acute and eager traveller, as well as an ardent
philanthropist.... His journey ... was one of great interest, great
adventure, and great endurance. The numerous and clever illustrations
with which the volumes are adorned add very much to their value. We
take leave of our author in the hope that, on the one hand, neither
his philanthropy nor his love of travelling is exhausted; and that, on
the other hand, his first venture in the world of letters may be so
favourable as to tempt him to a second venture, though perhaps on a
somewhat smaller scale.”
