Excerpt from St. Petersburg The Author, Mr. G. Dobson, who was for many years correspondent of the T imes in St. Petersburg, aims at giving as complete an account of the Russian capital as could possibly be contained within the comparatively small compass of the present volume. The following chapters accord ingly include the history of the origin of St. Petersburg, an explanation of the political ideas and objects connected with it, a critical descrip tion of the city as it appears to-day and as it impressed other writers in earlier years, and sketches of the life and types of its inhabitants. Some little attention has also been given to a somewhat neglected part of the story of its origin, that is to say, to the state of affairs in this region long before the time of Peter the Great, which rendered the creation of such a settled basis on the Neva a vital necessity for Russia's progress on European lines.
