Excerpt from Turkistan Notes of a Journey in Russian Turkistan, Khokand, Bukhara, and Kuldja, Vol. 1 of 2 My readers must not expect either stories of personal adventure or accounts of geographical exploration. The care which the Russians, Bukhariots, and Khokandians took that I should incur no personal danger, and should penetrate into no regions previously unexplored, prevented both one and the other. The chief aim of my journey in Central Asia was to study the political and social condition of the regions which had been recently annexed by Russia, as well as to compare the state of the inhabitants under Russian rule with that of those still living under the despotism of the Khans. In this I was in a measure successful. I have attempted in this book to give my impression of what I myself saw, and of what I learned from ray intercourse both with Russians and natives. In endeavouring to give a true picture of the condition of affairs, I have sometimes felt obliged to speak at length of subjects upon which it has given me little pleasure to dwell. I think, however, that my friends in Russia will not mistake my object in speaking. I have lived too long in Russia, and have made too many friends there, to have other than kind feelings for the country and the people. I hope, then, that my readers will believe that the criticisms made upon certain acts of the Russian administration in Central Asia are not made in a spirit of fault-finding. It is evidently for the interest of Russia that the mistakes and faults of the Russian policy should be known, and should be remedied as soon as possible.
