About the Book Eastern Europe is a region that consists of the eastern part of Europe. The eastern edge of Europe is drawn at the Ural Mountains while the western edge of Eastern Europe is somewhat ambiguous and has been subject to political and cultural fluctuations throughout history. During the cold war, Eastern Europe was often referred to as the “Eastern bloc” of communist countries. Much of Eastern Europe is Orthodox while western Europe tends to be Catholic and Protestant.

Robert Carter was born on February 5, 1819 in Albany, New York, United States; of Irish parentage.
Robert's formal education, which was rather fragmentary, was acquired in the common schools and in the Jesuit College of Chambly in Canada.
At fifteen Carter was appointed an assistant to his guardian, who was state librarian, but he resigned in 1838 in order to take up journalism, some of his poems and sketches having already appeared in the Albany papers.
In 1841, having become a Swedenborgian, he moved to Boston in order to prepare some religious pamphlets and there met James Russell Lowell, with whom he joined, in 1843, in editing the Pioneer, a literary monthly, which was abandoned after three issues, chiefly because of Lowell's poor health. Carter was not the kind of man to settle down to any one occupation over a period of years. He edited several manuals of knowledge, acted as chief clerk in the Cambridge post-office during 1845, was employed as literary adviser to various publishing houses, and became private secretary to William H. Prescott, the historian.
An important phase of his career opened in 1848, when he identified himself with the Free-Soil party and shortly afterward was made the editor, with John G. Palfrey, of the Boston Commonwealth, the chief organ of the Free-Soilers. As secretary of the Free-Soil State Committee, he called a convention in Worcester, July 20, 1854, where the delegates, being too numerous for any hall in that city, held their sessions in the open air. A brief platform drafted by Carter was adopted, together with the name "Republican" suggested by him; and a committee of six, headed by John A. Andrew, was named to organize the new party in the state. In 1855 Carter edited the Boston Telegraph; in 1856 he took charge of the Boston Atlas; and during 1857-59 he was Washington correspondent for Greeley's New York Tribune. From 1859 until 1863 he assisted George Ripley and Charles A. Dana in editing the first edition of The American Cyclopedia. Then, after a few months in government service, he moved to Rochester, N. Y. , as editor of the Democrat, remaining there for five years.
In 1874 impaired health obliged him to give up writing, and he took several trips to Europe during the next three years. He died in Cambridge, Massachussets, February 15, 1879, worn out by his ceaseless activity.

Carter was an editor and author and an active figure in the Free Soil and Republican parties in Massachusetts in the 1850s.
He was a member of a committee of six, headed by John A. Andrew, which organized the new party with the name "Republican".
He was an industrious writer, who read everything and combined an encyclopedic knowledge with a tenacious memory. It is said that, when the news of the assassination of President Lincoln reached him at Rochester, he sat down at his editor's desk and, without consulting a single reference, prepared a long article on "Notorious Regicides in History. "
In 1846 he was married to Ann Augusta Gray, a writer of books for children, "who brought him as a dowry two eagles, formidable pets, whose butcher's bills made great inroads on his pay". In 1864 he was married to his second wife, Susan Nichols, an author of handbooks on art and a contributor to periodicals.
