26000Stratford Place 6 July 1816. See Image. Three pages12mo bifolium corner marked mainly good condition. Text: "The Grand Duke is desirous to see the Docks underlined on Wednesday & we thought the best way of peforming it would be in going there by water. Could we therefore have your Barge on that day - when underlined should we embark & at what o'clock phrase underlined - for the tide. Excuse my importunity and believe my ever Yours most truly signature to be deciphered PS Since writing the above Sir Wm Congreve has made the very just observation that it would be safer for us - not to be dependent upon the tide - to go there by land & return underlined by water. So let me request you to order the barge down to the South end of West India Docks to be there about 1 o'clock." Note: I've found little information about this visit but what I have found suggests that he arrived in England after July 1816. This letter gives the impression that he was already in England at that time. See Images. Stratford Place, 6 July [1816?]. See Image. unknown

1848145572Paris: Chez Louis Chlendowski 1848. Finely bound edition of the final volume of 'La Comédie Humaine' from the library of Czar Alexander II of Russia. Octavo three volumes bound in half crushed morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles and ruling to the spines in five compartments. In very condition with some rubbing to the spines and bookplates to the front pastedown of each volume royal bookplate 'A.H.' to the pastedown of each volume loss to the spine of volume I with Russian lettering exposed underneath. From the library of Emperor of Russia King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland ÐлекÑаÌндр II ÐиколаÌевич or Alexander II. Alexander's most significant reform as emperor was the emancipation of Russia's serfs in 1861 for which he earned the title Alexander the Liberator. Other reforms of his included reorganizing the judicial system setting up elected local judges abolishing corporal punishment promoting local self-government through the zemstvo system imposing universal military service removing some privileges of the nobility and promoting university education. He was also unique in his foreign policy mainly his pacifism his support of the United States and his opposition of Great Britain; Alexander backed the Union during the American Civil War and sent warships to New York Harbor and San Francisco Bay to deter attacks by the Confederate Navy and sold Alaska to the United States in 1867 fearing the remote colony would fall into British hands if there were another war. The Tsar's assassination by revolutionaries in 1881 triggered the major suppression of civil liberties in Russia and the return of police brutality. His plans for a parliamentary body and constitution were then also abandoned by his son Alexander III. Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright considered one of the founders of realism in European literature. Full of personality and humanity Balzac imbued life into all of the characters and settings in his writing. His magnum opus 'La Comédie Humaine' a vast series of interconnected novels presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life. The character whose name appears in the title of this work 'Vautrin' whose real name is Jacques Collin appears in several novels of 'La Comédie humaine' inspired by the historical character of Eugène-François Vidocq a former criminal who later became chief of the Paris police. In prison Collin earns the nickname 'Trompe-la-Mort' 'Cheats Death' creating a life as 'Vautrin' after his escape. Although he was a supporter of the Crown Balzac paints the revolutionaries of the 'Comédie' series in a sympathetic light - even though they are the center of the book's most brutal scenes. This was the first book Balzac released under his own name and it gave him what one critic called "passage into the Promised Land"establishing him as an author of note and providing him with a name outside his past pseudonyms.

The 1792 treaty allied was drawn up when the parties were subjugating the once great and powerful Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth dissolved with its third partition in 1795. Nine months after Napoleon seized power in a coup d'état these allies faced a much more dangerous foe. In spite of the greatly different political and military context the treaty largely repeated the XIV articles of the 1792 treaty but added a new article VIII concerning the governance and provisioning of the army and revised articles I VII XXII-XIV this last group becoming XXIII-XV. We have found no other copy outside the Russian State Library in Moscow.Slightly browned and with an occasional minor marginal stain or tattered edge and the gutter folds somewhat weak but otherwise in very good condition.

Single location on WorldCat at BL KVK adds a copy in the Austrian National Library lacking 2 plates; and copies in the Zentralbibliothek der Bundeswehr Düsseldorf and Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt Halle. Decidedly uncommon infantry manual for the Imperial Russian Army from the brief reign of Tsar Paul I r.1796-1801. Paul had travelled extensively in Europe and had developed a taste for French and Italian architecture and Prussian military practice taking immense pleasure in rigidly drilling his private brigade of troops in the Versailles-inspired grounds of his estate at Gatchina. When he ascended the throne he attempted to remodel the army along Prussian lines introducing entirely impractical uniforms a regime of elaborate ceremonials and parades and as shown here the implementation of rigourous regulations and drill. The present manual was directly translated into French from its Prussian equivalent the words of command also being given in phonetically rendered Russian. Paul was assassinated by a group of disaffected army officers after just 4 years on the throne. Octavo 196 x 110 mm. 13 folding plates at the rear; somewhat erratically numbered no plate 1 2 plans numbered 4 but apparently complete. Recent mottled sheep-backed marbled boards by G. Gauché Paris red morocco label gilt rules to the spine. Spine lightly sunned light soiling to the title page pale toning to the text-block throughout overall very good. hardcover

Two treaties between Russia and the Safavid Empire in Russian and German in 2 parallel columns. 10; 12 pp. Ad 1: Very rare first and only edition of the Treaty of Rasht a peace treaty between the Russian Empire and the Persian Safavid Empire concluded between the very young Tsar Peter II and Shah Ashraf who would both die a year later. After the Russian Tsar Peter the Great died in 1725 Russia faced difficulties in retaining the newly conquered lands around the Caspian Sea. The Safavids wished to push the Russians back from all Persian territory and after some minor battles they agreed to a truce in 1727 which was signed at Rasht in 1729. "The treaty incorporated a number of provisions that seemed to resolve all the outstanding issues between Russia and Persia but as a practical matter it was never put into effect. By the time the pact was signed Ashraf's regime was already on the verge of being overthrown by Nadir Quli Khan. . Having successfully disposed the Afghans i.e. Ashraf Nadir then turned his attention to the restoration of the Persian lands seized earlier by the Ottomans and the Russians" Sicker.Ad 2: Second copy located of the first and only edition of a new peace treaty between the new rulers of the Russian and the Safavid Empire concluded between Tsarina Anna and Shah Tahmasp II just a few months before the latter was deposed by Nadir Quli Khan the future Nader Shah.Upon restoring both treaties the title-pages were switched; both have their spines strengthened some restorations to the fore-edge margins and some waterstains but all text is present and clearly legible; fair copies of two very rare treaties.l Ad 1: Catalogue de la section des Russica 820; WorldCat 3 copies; Ad 2: WorldCat 1 copy; cf.

109898St. Petersburg Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement 1835. . First edition small folio 31 x 22 cm; lithographic title and 10 unnumbered coloured by contemporary hand title soiled at foot where mark of ownership erased bottom corners of leaves with very light staining pl. 7 with printed Russian caption and early manuscript German translation; contemporary green Russian morocco upper cover lettered in gilt both covers with elaborate panelling in gilt and blind flat spine in gilt panels gilt turn-ins blue endpapers gilt edges extremities rubbed tiny split in joint at head of spine a fine copy.<br /> Remarkably fine series of hand-coloured prints of military costumes after Paul I in an exceptional contemporary Russian binding. The book was printed at the personal bequest of his son Tsar Nicholas I in an incredibly small edition. The short reign of Paul I ended with his murder in 1801 and was marked by his obsession with dress uniforms. All ten of the figures in this rare suite are drawn in the same posture at attention with arms firmly clasped to sides and though this gives them a slightly doll-like quality they are painstakingly and beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand. Nicholas I viewed his father with deep reverence and also admired the pomp and order of the Imperial army this publication was an attempt to honour his father's legacy.<br /> [St. Petersburg], Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement, 1835. unknown
