SCANDINAVIA AND RUSSIA BY CHAS F CUTTING En écrivant mes souvenirs, je me rapellerai le existence. JJ ROUSSEAU BOSTON THOMAS GROOM & COMPANY PUBLISHERS INDIA BUILDING 82 STATE STREET 1887 прят harles @ Luttle, Agavel 42 HE following pages are extracts from a journal written hastily, at odd moments, during a rapid TH journey in the summer of 1887. The majority of them were written in my stateroom, or while riding in a railway carriage, after a hard day's sight-seeing. The fragmentary character of the descriptions does such injustice to the places visited that I, even at the last moment, hesitate to commit them to print; but the kindly expressed wishes of my friends, and also the almost total absence of guide books of these countries, have prevailed upon me to hope that I might perhaps awaken a curiosity to visit these wondrous regions, and thus indirectly be the means of giving as rare a pleasure to others as the journey has afforded me.
