The Russians have no idea of their own country and are ignorant of its boundaries and extent They know nothing of the world beyond their own rivers and mountains and the Chinese Tartars are equally unacquainted with the geography of the empire of the Czars[Pg 5] The Russians are a people of the same religion and language with the Tartars but they differ from them in their manners and customs. The Tartars are a hardy and warlike race who live on horseback and carry their houses about with them The Russians are more civilized and live in towns and cities. The Tartars are governed by khans or emirs who are independent of each other and have little communication with one another The Russians are subject to the authority of the czar who is absolute master of his dominions and has the power of life and death over all his subjects. The Tartars are not subject to any prince or sovereign and live under their own laws and usages. The Russians pay tribute to the Porte of Constantinople and acknowledge the sultan as their lord paramount. The Tartars pay no tribute to any body and acknowledge no other power than that of their own khans. The Russians are Christians and the Tartars Mahometans. The Russians have been conquerors of Poland and Sweden and have subdued the kingdoms of Livonia and Esthonia They have also taken possession of Siberia and the northern parts of Asia. The Tartars have never been conquerors but have been often conquered. The Russians have had frequent wars with the Turks and Swedes and have been often at war with the Poles and Lithuanians The Tartars have had wars with the Chinese and Moguls.

ロシア人は自分の国について何も知らず、国境や規模について知らない。彼らは自分の川や山を越えて世界の何も知らないし、中国のタタールも同様に王の帝国の地理に慣れていない[ページ5]ロシア人はタタールと同じ宗教と言語の人々ですが、彼らの作法や習慣は彼らとは異なります。タタール人は馬に乗って生活し、彼らと彼らの家を運ぶ丈夫で好戦的なレースです。ロシア人はより文明化され、町や都市に住んでいます。タタール人は、お互いに独立しており、お互いのコミュニケーションがほとんどないカーンやエミールによって支配されています。ロシア人は彼の所有物の絶対的なマスターであり、すべての彼の臣民に生と死の力を持っている皇帝の力に服従します。タタール人は王子や主権者に従わず、自分の法律や習慣に従って生活しています。ロシア人はコンスタンティノープルの港に敬意を表し、スルタンを最も重要な領主と認めている。タタール人はどのような体にも敬意を払わず、自分のカーン以外の権威を認めません。ロシア人はキリスト教徒とマホメタンタルタルです。ロシア人はポーランドとスウェーデンの征服者であり、リヴォニアとエストニアの王国を征服した。また、シベリアやアジア北部を占領した。タタール人は征服者ではなかったが、しばしば征服された。ロシア人はしばしばトルコ人とスウェーデン人と戦い、しばしばタタリーのポーランド人とリトアニア人と戦って中国人とムガール人と戦った。
