A very good copy, slightly shaken, the cloth still bright and well preserved.

Edizione: very early issue. wallace spent nearly six years in russia, primarily in st. petersburg, moscow, and yaroslaff, though his summers were devoted to roaming the country hither and yon. the title was reprinted many times, well into the 20th century and is still a book well respected and often read.
