DESCRIPTION
Eugene Schulyer, who was Secretary of the American Legislation at St. Petersburgh, travelled extensively in Russain Central Asia and provides in this monumental work an excewptionally detailed description of the regions through which he travelled. He gives accounts of the economic, political and religious and social conditions, as well as detailed descriptions of places of worship, habits of dress and local languages. "The chief aim of my journey in Central Asia was to study the political and social conditions of the regions which had been recently annexed by Russia, as well as to compare the inhabitants under Russian rule with that of those still living under the despotism of the Khans."
