Excerpt from The Great Highway, Vol. 1 of 3: A Story of the World's Struggles In a country where literature is held in such small repute - where the author is contemned by the Government, too often victimized by the publisher, and looked upon as a lawful prey by the public - it is not to be expected that there should be any defined scheme of national education, and in fact, while the despotic Executive of Russia maintains free 'schools for th...
