Notes From Underground... If you're interested in matters Polish and Russian or in travels in Slavic lands and in sights seen through western eyes AND if you can read this page from the manuscript diary of an Englishwoman traveling in the summer of 1828 (175 years ago!) then YOU may be the person to transcribe the contents of this little volume. You will get to know "Roberta" and "Mr. Sayer" (their real names), who were her companions on the trip. We can picture Ms. English Lady settling into the pension at night to write ... Inside the front cover she begins, "The weight of the statue of Peter The Great ..." You've seen the blurb; now read the book!
