The best way to form a judgment is to turn to the great lines traced by history: and what has been said in my former lecture about the era of reforms may, I hope, have left at least this impression that the Russia of our time is most directly con- nected with the Russia of the sixties. The changes at that time were so great that more than one generation had to work at assimilating their results and meeting their consequences. To begin with, the social transformation of the country has been, no ...doubt, very striking. The population has been nearly doubled in the course of some 40 years, — rising from 74 millions in 1858 to about 140 millions at the present moment. Whereas at the beginning of Alexander II's reign there existed only some 1,000 versts of railway in the huge empire, in 1899 H. L. 17 258 Russia there were 48,000 versts in action and nearly 8,000 building, and by this enterprise the drawback of enormous distances is being gradually overcome. Agricultural resources have been developed, chiefly by the spread of cultivation and partly, especially in the West, by the adoption of better methods, and the country counts as one of the great producers of grain for the world market.
