To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among the subsidiary points in this treaty are several enlarging the powers of Russian consuls and the rights of Russian traders ; so that, while Ptussia nominally gave up her claim to a portion of Chinese territory, she cannot be said to have lost by the transaction.^ For a series of years after the Hi incident relations between Russia and China continued normal. Owing to the difficulty of communication, Russia was unable to take any active steps for the furtherance of her designs across the C...elestial border. But the time was not being wasted. The geographical position of Russia in relation to China is peculiar, inasmuch as the wealthiest districts are situated at the greatest distance from St. Petersburg, and can only be reached by traversing a varying extent of desert territory. With exception of the fertile valleys along the Turkestan boi'der, the whole of the western annexe of the Celestial Empire is a region consisting either of mountain ranges and snow-covered tablelands or of sandy desert, both equally impassable to large bodies of men, and unsuited to military occupation.
