The rate of travelling was therefore rather more
than seventeen miles an hour, inclusive of all stoppages
and delays.

Between Moscow and Dalny the train stopped at 151 stations, thereby
losing almost 37 hours.

The rouble is equivalent to about two shillings and a penny. There are
100 kopeks to the rouble.

German is the most useful foreign language for travelling in Russia.

PRESS COMMENTS.

_Times_--"A bright popular account of Anglo-Chinese life, and
of the characteristics and customs of the Chinese."

nature and domestication in the Far East. Is full of keen
observation, and lightened by a very pleasant sense of
humour." (Topics of the day).

is a keen and often sympathetic observer." (Leading
article).

in advance of the ordinary record of travel."
