DR.. Primes route to the North Of Europe led him
through Switzerland and part OF Germany, OF winch
journey he records many interesting "reminiscences
His say in Russia was of short duration, and rather
barren of incident. The first sight of the Krem-
lin gave him new impression OF its majestic and
imposing beauty. Its lofty walls inclose an area OF
not less than mile and half in circumference.
Five massive gates admit the flow of life to the tenn
ples of religion and justice within the inclosure
All the buildings are of dazzling whiteness The
domes of thirty churches within the Kremlin, and
MANY more around it are blazing at noontde IN green
and gold. Each of the churches has several dones,
and besides them there are theaters aud pa!tts @
other public buildings, with roofs painted green
sides white and gilt over-layng domes turrets, and
spires Gardens filled with trees among the dwell
ings and the river crcing its way into and out OF
the town NAV give some idea of what might have
been the picturesque rural attractions OF Nineveh
and Babylon. In the midst Of the klemlln
rises the white tower of Ivan III m0Jesuc SIM
plicitv with bell of 10000 pounds at IFS foot, ana
another OF 10000 swinging at its crown. Inc
former, supported by q pedestal OF stone IS the
largest bell in the world In Russia the bell is AL
instrument of music for divine worship, Ike the Or
gan in other countries Moscow is the holy city oi
the Greek Church. Pilgrims crowd to its gates from
thousands of miles off, on foot, and often without
shoes. They come with slaves in their hand, thelt
travelworn feet wound up in cloths, pursuing their
way to the sacred hill As they draw nigh TO the
city, and the music of the holy bells is borne to then
ears on the evening air, they fall PROSTATE on Their
faces and worship God. They would be content to
die on the spot for they have heard the bells OF Mos
COW. and on their majestic tones their souls have
been taken up to heaven.
DR.. Primeis thus perpetually alive to the poetry of
the scenes which form the subject of his narrative
His power of observation is combined with remark
able freshness of spirit No WEAKNESS of the way
impairs the aacrty of his mind. nor does the haot
Of attention TO external things prevent tine exercise
of imaginative and devOut sentiment. The account
of his travels thus loses the quality Of guide
book and becomes a record of feeling no less than
of fact. Its perusal not only opens source OF III
struction but gives constant sense OF companion-
ship.
