Sketches in St. Petersburg, 1874. Beggars; Tradesman's Sleigh; Knife-Grinder; Monk and Nun; Chiffonnier; Private Sleigh; Organ Grinder; Light Porter; Footman; Railway Carrier...The Russian [sleigh] driver, the istvostchik, is not only skilful but willing to serve his passenger's convenience or caprice, by doing all he knows with the best speed of his horse, in obedience to the cry of Shivai! shivai!'- that is to say, Faster! faster! which is frequently heard from the gentleman sitting muffled in the cloak and cap of furs...Our Artist, who was at St. Petersburg the other day, gives us, in the page of his sketches engraved, an example of the genteel private sleigh, drawn by two horses, and one of the tradesman's one-horse equipage in which John Gilpin takes his wife out for a holiday airing. On the other hand, we observe in the sledge-trucks and barrows, used by town porters for the carriage of luggage and merchandise, a less expeditious and business-like style than we are accustomed to see in London. The organ-grinder and the knife-grinder are familiar enough as audible to our ears, though with some visible difference to our eyes; and the chiffonier, or dustman and rag-collector, is a necessary agent of city and household good order'.
