Description
489 pages. Index. Translated from the Russian. "The diary of an eye-witness, presented in the form of a narrative. Its whole value lies in this fact. It is material for the writing of history. I kept a diary from 30 January 1904, to December 1906 (even a little longer), and made daily entries, on specially important days even hourly. Everything I tell of here is based on the data of my diary." - from Preface. Top 2" x 4" of front free endpaper removed. Above-average wear. Modest spine slant. Decorated front board. Gilt lettering and decoration upon backstrip still visible. Binding somewhat tender but intact. A worthy reading copy. Book
