Mr. Ballou's previous travel-books have had an immense popular success,
now repeated in this vivid record of his recent travels in Russia and

devoted to Bergen and Trondhjem; the Loffodens and Maelstroem; the North
Cape and Midnight Sun; Lapland and Finland; St. Petersburg and Moscow;
the Neva and Volga; Nijni-Novgorod; Warsaw and Russian Poland, etc.

=BOSTON TRAVELLER=:

"Of the finest and most extensive culture, Mr. Ballou is the
ideal traveller."

journey. The reader is interested and entertained, and comes
