This book would not probably have been written for some time to come, but for the kind invitation and the most friendly encouragement of the
editor and the publishers of "The Atlantic Monthly" to write it for serial
publication in their magazine. I feel it a most pleasant duty to express here
my very best thanks for the hospitality that was offered to me, and for
the friendly pressure that was exercised to induce me to undertake
this work. It was published in "The Atlantic Monthly" (September, 1898, to
September, 1899), under the title, "The Autobiography of a Revolutionist."
Preparing it now for publication in book form, I have added considerably to
the original text in the parts dealing with my youth and my stay in Siberia,
and especially in the Sixth Part, in which I have told the story of my life in Western Europe.
