Excerpt from Journey to the North of India, Vol. 1 of 2: Overland From England, Through Russia, Persia, and Affghaunistaun Here we cashed our bills for Russian ducats, which I believe are a good remittance to most parts of the world, and on the 17th of October resumed our route. From the last of a succession of hills, which rise gradually above each other in a distance of four verstes, we looked back upon the painted and gilded roofs and cupolas of the city of forty times forty churches, which lay en masse on either side of the river Moskva, backed by a deep blue sky that told of snow while we looked the flakes began to fall thick about us; so, wrapping ourselves in our fur cloaks, we set our faces resolutely towards Asia, and bade the Isvoschtshicks give the rein and whip to their horses.
