THE THIRD QUARTO EDITION OF

PART THE FIRST.

A THIRD Edition of the FIRST PART of these Travels, within the short space of time that has elapsed since its original publication, may be considered as affording a good practical answer to certain objections which have been made against it. Whether this presumption be true or false, the author ventures, upon such encouragement, to proceed with the rest of the work according to his original plan.

In the present Edition, the text has been revised: the account given of the state of the society in Russia has been suffered to remain nearly as it was printed in the former Editions, and as it was written upon the spot.
