Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Russian and Turkish Journals The first of these journal letters; addressed to my Mother; was written thirty-seven and the last thirty two years ago. These years represent a very long time in the life of a person, but a very short time in the history of a country, and yet between the years 1879 and 1916 very great changes have taken place in the countries mentioned in these pages. And although I only tell of the social life in our Embassies, and of my own personal experiences, and make no pretence of writing a book about Russia or Turkey, my readers cannot but realise that times are greatly changed since these letters were written.
