1909. The collected writings of Peter Kropotkin. Kropotkin grew up
in the midst of the struggle between the peasants and workers and
the government. He was born a prince of the old nobility of Moscow,
was trained as a page in the Emperor's court, and at twenty became
an officer in the army. The discovery that he was engaged in
revolutionary activities in St. Petersburg while he was presumably
devoting his life to scientific geography, caused a sensation. He
was arrested and held in prison without trial. He became at once
one of the most hated and most beloved representatives of the
revolutionary cause. Partial Contents: The September Days; The
