Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. the phrase book is now very rare and only to be found in one or two museums. it caters travellers during the great war, for much more than a short city break with simple ordering from an a-la carte menu and enquiring about vacant rooms. The book suggests that a traveller might need to visit a barber or do extensive shopping. Apart from phrases, the book contains practical advice, such as the most convenient itineraries information on customs regulations, recommendation of hotels and restaurants, lists of places for sightseeing and entertainment, In September 2018, an exhibition Language Learning through the Ages was on display at the Taylor Institution Library in Oxford. In the section on Conversation books, one could observe J.H.Wisdom's The Briton in Russia, published by Leopold B. Hill in 1915. In the words of the exhibition curators, this was "a guide not just to the language but also to Russia". Also, "the other big step forward is that an attempt is made to help the traveller with pronunciation. The International Phonetic Alphabet had been in existence since 1888 and increasing knowledge of phonetics influenced phrasebooks in that they started to contain phonetic information but would have been too complex to use in a phrasebook".
