The Russian Empire

HUTCHINSON’S “History of the World” says:—
“One of the most remarkable developments in the history of the nineteenth century is the sudden advance of Russia in European and Asiatic influence.”
Its area stretches out over more than one seventh of the total land surface of the globe. About fifty distinct nationalities are gathered within its borders, and work for all of its one hundred thirty millions requires the use of about forty leading languages, besides many dialects.
In educational and industrial development, Russia has made marvelous strides, while the progress toward constitutional forms of government has awakened new hopes in the hearts of the people. Many thousands from European Russia are emigrating to Siberia. The railways projected into Siberia have opened up some of the finest agricultural country in the world.
