'As we get better acquainted with Russia, however, the character of the work, so far as regards its plain unadorned truths, will, the author is convinced, be better appreciated in England; while, in respect to Russia, he has the consolation to know that smuggled copies are at this moment circulating widely through the empire of the Tsar' (advertisement).
