THE RUSSIAN PILGRIMS.

[To THE EDITOR Ol THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,-So far from Mr. Stephen Graham's assertion being correct, viz., that "the journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian "—I beg to inform him that I have before me a copious account of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, in Russian, entitled, Palomnichestvo v Palestinoo

groboo Gospodnyou, by J. P. Yoovacheff, pp. 365, with 126 illustrations (St. Petersburg, 1904). I think the book is in royal 8vo. It embodies a very full description of the matter.

—I am, Sir, &c., J. EVAN W.
