Title two in the series Pamiatniki Russkago Zakonodatel'stva 1649-1832. The Nakaz or Instruction is a statement of legal principles written by Catherine II between 1764 and 1766. It was among her most ambitious and significant undertakings. Infused with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and copied mostly from the work of Voltaire Montesquieu and Beccaria it was compiled as a guide for the All- Russia Legislative Commission convened by the Empress in 1767 to create a new code to replace the 1649 Muscovite Code. Revised in consultation with Frederick the Great and Voltaire the Instruction proclaimed the equality of all men before the law and denounced torture and the death penalty. Unfortunately her proposed code was never completed. The first two editions one with parallel texts in Russian and German were published in 1767. Our 1907 edition may have been inspired by a spirit of reform fired by the Russian Revolution of 1905. OCLC locates 1 copy in a North American law library Columbia.

This feature is also noted for the set listed by COPAC for the National Trust copies. It is therefore not unique to this copy. The unaltered edition published by Gide is dated for 'an 7' of the Republic i.e. 1799. A Paris : chez Gide, Libraire, place Sulpice. 1780 [1799]. 2 volumes. 8vo. unknown
