About this book

Five centuries of Moscow's history, ending in the age of Peter the Great, are told here by Wirt Gerrare in a volume of the Mediaeval Towns series, published in London in 1900. The preface notes that recent writers tend to skip Russia's history before the eighteenth century, and points out that the old buildings did not all perish in Napoleon's invasion.

Helen M. James illustrated the book, and an ikon of the Holy Virgin of Vladimir appears in its opening pages. The author explains his handling of Russian place names, and says that his ninth chapter, on the Russian church, is the least satisfactory of those he wrote.
