The following pages are the record of my journey over the line last spring from Petersburg to Pekin, with a detour to Korea. All of my facts and figures have been taken from that most important work of the Ministry of Ways and Means of Communication, Guide to the Great Siberian Railway. That book will scarcely come into the hands of the American public and I have therefore included sections thereof or quoted very fully from its pages, and believe that the statements made are to be relied upon as facts.
