"Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, June 1885" by Various is a collection of essays and articles reflecting various fields such as literature, art, and politics, written during the late 19th century. The work provides readers with insights into contemporary thoughts and issues, particularly focusing on subjects like colonial policies, social structures, and philosophical critiques. The opening of this publication features a critical essay titled "The Russian Advance in Central Asia" by Major-General Sir Henry Rawlinson, which discusses Russia's military and diplomatic maneuvers in Central Asia and their implications for British interests, especially concerning India. Rawlinson outlines Russia's territorial expansions and the rationalizations behind them, contrasting past views on Russian conquests with the current acknowledgment of their benefits and civilizing influence. The narrative reflects on the underlying motivations of Russian policy, suggests a history of territorial disputes and negotiations involving Afghanistan, and cautions about the potential for future conflict while addressing the responsibilities of British policy in the region.
