From the preface: "This memoir, written down by the hand of an 84-year-old man who lived through almost the entire 19th century administering vast estates throughout almost the whole of Volhynia, living an extraordinarily busy and industrious life, being in relations with the most prominent and representatives of society, may not contain the more momentous facts of more general importance, but it contains many details of the moral and economic existence of Volhynian landowners, and as a result, it may not be without interest to the deceased's relatives alone."
