Description:

Issue III.

"Our "Guide" is intended to serve as a handy source for modest news, concerning Lithuania and Byelorussia - historical and geographic news. And not even for Lithuania and Byelorussia, but for the six governorates that are part of the Russian State, which are, after all, or not in their entirety, and the above-mentioned districts, ethnographically distinct. After all, there is no need to prove that there can be no question here of the whole of Lithuania, since to do so would still have to take a part of Ducal Prussia and a large swath of Suwałki Governorate from the Kingdom of Poland. Nonetheless, even from this Bialrusia one would have to cross out large sections, such as Podlasie, in favor of ethnographically Polish lands. We are not concerned with ethnographic research at this point, so we take the administrative units as they are today and plot the fabric of the collected news against this background. Of the above six gubernias, the first three, i.e. Vilnius, Kaunas and Grodno are usually called Lithuania, while the last three, i.e. Minsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev-Belarus. For all six, however, Vilnius is undoubtedly the environment where all the threads of Lithuanian and Belarusian life are concentrated. The guide, therefore, is intended to serve the 6 governorates of Vilnius, Kaunas, Grodno, Minsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev" (From the introduction)
