Abstract
THE growing use of the Russian language for scientific publication in Russia renders summaries of existing knowledge about that vast country increasingly necessary. We accordingly welcome this authoritative account of the geography of European Russia by Prof, von Krassnow, of Kharkhov, published in Kirchhoff's “Unser Wissen von der Erde,” of which it forms the third volume of the series on Europe. The book labours under one serious disadvantage. It is printed in the old eye-straining German type, and readers who are careful of their eyesight will prefer works printed in characters that can be read with less fatigue.
