Early Russian History: Four Lectures Delivered at Oxford, in the Taylor Institution, According to the Terms of Lord Ilchester's Bequest to the University (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Early Russian History: Four Lectures Delivered at Oxford, in the Taylor Institution, According to the Terms of Lord Ilchester's Bequest to the University
Dinner in Russia is preceded by a zakuska, a snack designed to whet the appetite. The present volume is intended to act as a kind of literary zakuska. I trust that it may not be altogether unsuccessful in whetting the appetite of the reading public for Russian history: towards satisfying it so slight a book can, of course, render but scant service. There is little in the following pages beyond the text of four lectures delivered at Oxford during the spring of this year, and into four lectures no very exhaustive analysis of a large subject can well be compressed.
