Author of *‘ The Russian Storm Cloud,” ‘‘ The Russian Peasantry,” 
“© Russia under the Tzars,” etc., ete. 
The large section of the English public now reading Russian fiction 
will be interested in the appearance of this work, the first novel written 
in English bya Russian. Intimately acquainted with the life of revolu- 
tionary Russia as the celebrated author is, he gives in this book a vivid 
picture of the manners and ways of the men and women engaged in the 
struggle against the system of despotism under which the subjects of 
the Tzar live, and lets us into the very heart and secret of Nihilism. 
Besides exhibiting that subtle psychology which we have learnt to look 
for as a special trait of Russian writers, this novel is full of stirring 
incident, and possesses one of the most powerful and pathetic plots to be 
found in the whole range of fiction. 
**One expects a Nihilist romance by Stepniak to be full of the 
actualities of the situation, to display the genuine and intimate senti- 
ments of revolutionary society in Russia, and to correct not a few of the 
impressions formerly gathered from novelists who only know that 
society by hearsay and at second-hand. The reader will not be 
disappointed in this expectation. No one can read this story... 
without deep interest.” —<A¢heneum, 
‘<A very brilliant and remarkable novel just published by Walter 
Scott, which will soon be the talk of literary London. We have seldom 
read a more fascinating book than Stepniak’s Career of a Nihilist.”
