Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mainsprings of Russia In calling this book the Mainsprings of Russia, I am conscious of having omitted several of the most important mainsprings of Russian life: chief among them its commerce and industry. The subject is so large that, had I dealt with it at all, there would have been no room for anything else in a book of this size. Also, as far as the actual facts are concerned they are to be found clearly stated in Dr. Kennard's excellent Russian Year Book. Nor have I attempted to deal with the Army and the Navy, which I consider to be factors which are likely to be dealt with by experts, since they cannot afford to be altogether neglected by foreigners. There is another subject I have omitted - it is not, it is true, a mainspring of Russian life; but it is a sore spot and a question of burning vital interest-i mean the Jewish question.
