This book would not probably have been written for some time to come,
were it not for the kind invitation and the most friendly encouragement
of the editor and the publisher of the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ to write it
for a serial publication in their Review. I feel it a pleasant duty
to acknowledge here my very best thanks both for the hospitality that
was offered to me, and for the friendly pressure that was exercised
in order to induce me to undertake this work. It was published in the
‘Atlantic Monthly’ (September 1898 to September 1899) under the title
of ‘Autobiography of a Revolutionist.’ Preparing it now for publication
in book form, I have considerably added to the original text in the
portions relating to my youth and my stay in Siberia, and especially in
the Sixth Part, in which I have narrated my life in Western Europe.
