SECOND EDITION ENLARGED . This day is published , in 8 vo , price 14 s . - ' ' THE E US SI AN S-H ORES OF THM BLACK SEA . IN THE AUTUMN OF 185 & ; with a Voyage down the Volga and a Tour through the Opuptry of theBon Cossacks . By LAURENCEOLIPHANT , Author of a" Journey to Nepaul . " With 84 Engraving * on Wood , Enlarged Map of the Crimea , and Map of the Authors Route . . ' . . ¦ ¦¦ ; ' ¦ ¦ '¦'¦"¦ ¦ ¦'¦ ;¦ ¦ • . V . " The latest and the best account of the actual state of Russia ,. "—Standard . " We have availed ourselves so often of late of the opportune information afforded by Mr . Oliphant , that we have left ourselves , as critics . Aittle to say of his volume . . The information collected by Mr . Oliphant during hisiiasty tour was considerable ( the field is almost untrodden ) , and is the more worthy of credence that he gives it for exactly what it is worth—frankly telling what his sources were , and pointing out- their inadequacy when not entirely- to -pe relied upon . The boot bears ex facie indisputable marks of the shrewdness , quick-sightedness , candour , and veracity of the author . It is the production of a gentleman m the true English sense of the word . "—Daily N < ws . "It waa with considerable interest in the light to be thrown on them by so intelligent an observer as Mr , Oliphant has shown himself to be , that we took up his new work i which , though it describes men , manners , and scenery comprised within the boundaries of our ow ^ i Europe , seemed to promise as much novelty as he detailed to us in his lively account of'remote barbario Nepaul . ' Wq have not been disappointed . •> Mr . Olipbant saw much that no recent observer has described , and he relates hia experiences m a style fresh , interesting , and , often very graphic He had evidently no bias for or against "Russia , and he says what he has to say "in the calm' and impartial tone of a reporter , which best bents such a subject ax such a time . "— Globe . "Mr . Oliphant is a traveller of the sober , inquisitive , and useful , rather than the sentimental and descriptive school . He indulges . in no rhapsodies ; we infer that he , has few illusions . His tones are grey and his landscapes those of the daguerreotype—nature reproduced with her outlines correct , and with the loss of much local colour . He may be taken as a pretty safe guide through a part of Russia little traversed by his countrymen- » the line of the Volga between Ntjnl Novgorod and - Dubovka and the Cossack steppe between-that town and the Crimea;—while his observations at Sevastopol , Odessa , and . other vaunted places of the . Blaok Sea , strike us as equally trustworthy . "—Mhetieeum . " The facts which he details in Bupport of his view of the Russian government , and the considerations by ; which no endeavours to . arouse the English public to a senso , of-the dangers . of Russian aggression , are both worthy of the most serious attention . "—Guardian . " This is a book of travels distinguished from" the majority of such books by-the ' freshness of its matter , the importance of its political information , . especially at this time , and tho Vinusual simplicity' and * 'trustworthiness of its treatment . Mr . OHphant . Jbas . not ; only travelled whoro few European traveller ^/ ha . vo'beori . beforehim , but ho has wandered amid scenes of which ' every one is anxious to hoar . "—Leader . William Elackwood and Sons , Edinburgh and London .
