~ conversant with the people and the Ian
guage, and had reached the conclusion that
the Russian Government had been misrep-
resented and that the exile system of Sibe-
ria was not so terrible as was supposed.
Knowing that Mr.. KEENAN, held these
views, the Russian Government gave him
every facility for thorough
INSPECTION OF MINES AND PRISONS
of Siberia-the most thorough that had
ever been made by O traveller. Armed with
letters from the Russian Minister of the
Interior and other high officials, Mr.. Ken
nan went everywhere, inspecting mines and
prisons, convict barges and hospitals, and
travelling with chained exiles along tha
great Siberian road. He MADE the intimate
personal acquaintance of more than three
hundred exiled "liberals" and Nihilists,
many of whom wrote out their histories tor
his use. The actual facts, as revealed by
this searching investigation, were far re-
moved from Mr.. Kennan's preconceived
IDEAS, as this thrilling narrative of fifteen
months privation and adventure will show.
AS IS already known, the publication OF
Mr.. Remnants preliminary papers has re-
suited in his being placed
