Tent Life in Siberia

Excerpt

This narrative of Siberian life and adventure was first given to the
public in 1870—­just forty years ago.  Since that time it has never
been out of print, and has never ceased to find readers; and the
original plates have been sent to the press so many times that they
are nearly worn out.  This persistent and long-continued demand for the
book seems to indicate that it has some sort of perennial interest,
and encourages me to hope that a revised, illustrated, and greatly
enlarged edition of it will meet with a favourable reception.
