Siberia AND THE NIHILISTS.

By William Jackson Armstrong

By Hon. William Jackson Armstrong.

THIS THRILLING VOLUME,

By the Pioneer of the Russian question, who exposed the cruelties of the Czar's government before Mr. Kennan was aware of their existence and while he was apologizing for Russian tyranny, is a MASTERPIECE OF ELOQUENCE. The lecture on Nihilism, which forms part of the book, moves with majestic and manly eloquence from the opening sentence to its conclusion. It is the same lecture which was afterwards delivered for and COMMENDED BY BEECHER; and Mr. Armstrong was introduced to a Washington audience on the occasion of its delivery there by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.

A DEBATE WITH KENNAN,

In which Mr. Armstrong opened Kennan's eyes to abuses of which he had denied the existence, forms an interesting and hitherto hidden phase of the subject. Kennan was overwhelmed by the arguments which proved the existence of horrors which he afterwards found to exist as stated by Armstrong.

THRILLING SCENES,

As depicted by Commodore Melville of the unfortunate Jeanette Arctic expedition are given; also, the heroic descriptions of Siberian scenes from the great work of Mr. James Buell, of St. Louis, one of the brave pioneers who first laid bare the cruelties common in that region.

An Introduction by Leigh H. Irvine, author of "The Struggle for Bread," puts Kennan in a new light and summarizes the whole Russian question in ten interesting pages.

The Book is selling fast and producing a sensation wherever sold. It is more fascinating than a novel, yet true as a problem in mathematics.

The work, well printed and copiously illustrated, sells at 25 cents. The trade supplied at usual discounts.
