"Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, June 1885" by Various is a compilation of writings from the late 1800s that touches on literary, artistic, and political themes of the time. Readers gain access to the mindset and debates of the era, especially about topics like how countries controlled their colonies, the organization of society, and thoughtful examination of core beliefs. The magazine kicks off with an insightful piece, "The Russian Advance in Central Asia" penned by Major-General Sir Henry Rawlinson, which looks at Russia's strategic positioning in Central Asia and what that could mean for Britain, specifically its interests in India; Rawlinson details Russia's growing land holdings, the reasons given for this growth, and weighs the historical perspectives against the now-accepted positive impact and civilizing force of these expansions; while the writing explores the reasons behind Russia's actions, it hints at past disagreements and discussions involving Afghanistan and warns of potential clashes, calling attention to the duties of British policy in that part of the world.
