This article presents information about the book "L'Empire des Tsars et les Russes," by Par Anatole Leroy-Beaulieu. Good works on the Russian empire are still rare. This book not only enlightens the reader by its slow but lucid demonstrations, but delights him by its felicitous illustrations and a diction worthy of the best periods of French literature. The author considers the shape and extent of European Russia, and asks himself whether it really forms a part of Europe. Russia has none of Europe's maritime climate, hers is continental: extremely cold in winter and excessively hot in summer, and almost unhindered by seasons of transition.
