From the web:

Hugh Stewart, CMG, DSO & Bar, MC (1884 –1934) was an academic, soldier and historian whose work had a major impact in both England and New Zealand.

Born in Scotland, Stewart worked in Russia teaching English after completing his education. He then taught classical studies at the University of Liverpool in England and then at Canterbury College in Christchurch, New Zealand. 

Stewart spent the next two years working in Russia as a tutor, teaching English. He learned Russian and wrote a book describing his experiences and the country, Provincial Russia.

Written with a very easy readable and interesting style.
