DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Celebrated Women Travellers of the Nineteenth Century At the age of twenty she was married (february, and soon afterwards she set out for St. Peters iburg, where she was recognised as the ornament of the higher society. In the midst of her numerous engage ments, in the midst of the homage rendered to her wit and grace, she found time to collect a mass of 'valuable notes on the condition and inner life of the great Russian Empire, several provinces of which she knew from personal observation. From St. Petersburg to Moscow, from Odessa to Revel, her untiring activity carried her. Most social questions are at work under an apparent calm, and offer, therefore, subjects well worthy of careful study, especially to so grave and clear an intellect as that of Princess Dora d'istria, who pos sessed, in the highest degree, the faculty of steady meditation amidst the movement and the world-stir 'that surrounded her. The world, charmed by her per sonal attractions, had no suspicion of the restlessness and activity of her inquiring mind.

She perceives more quickly than man everything connected with national life and the manners of the people. A wide field, much too neglected, lies open, therefore, to her observation. But, in order that she may fitly explore it, she needs, what she too often fails to possess, a knowledge of languages and of history, as well as the capability of conforming herself to the different habitudes of nations, and the faculty of enduring great fatigues.
