1801J4AL0ZX7PQRKSt Petersburg: Imperial Printing Office 1801. Loose bifolia and 1 singleton leaf never sewn or bound. Folio 29.5 x 21.5 cm. Treaty between Russia and Prussia in Russian and French in 2 parallel columns in cyrillic left and roman right types each with incidental italic. With a decorated rule built up from cast units. Rare first and only edition in Russian and French of a defensive alliance concluded at St Petersburg between Tsar Pavel I of Russia and King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia on 28 July 1800 16 July by the Julian calendar used in Russia until the Revolution revising that concluded on 27 July/7 August 1792 following the Polish-Russian War. 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. Rare first and only edition in Russian and French of an 1800 treaty between Russia and Prussia revising their 1792 treaty in the new political situation.l KVK & WorldCat State Library Moscow only; not in G.F. von Martens Recueil des principaux traités .

1729K1VE5E3V8EEQSt. Petersburg 1729. Small folio 27.5 x 19.5 cm. Imperial Academy of Sciences Disbound. 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.

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

Rare édition originale bien complet de sa feuille d’errata en fin du volume deux. D’origine Livonienne et à la vie aventureuse, elle vécut à Paris pendant la Révolution, influença BERARDIN de SAINT PIERRE et se lia avec Madame de STAEL, Mme RECAMIER et CHATEAUBRIAND.
