8741Place and date of none stated but probably Edwardian. The six works by 'Joubert' listed on COPAC appeared between 1904 and 1906 and it is reasonable from the context to assume that these five items date from the same period. All five items clear and complete with all text on one side only of A4 leaves. The first four in fair condition on aged paper and in worn brown card bindings. The fifth item unbound and with the first and last leaves worn and grubby. Occasional minor manuscript corrections amounting to no more than a dozen. Knowledgeable articulate and energetic articles by an Anglo-Russian journalist about whom little is to be discovered. ITEM ONE. 'The Coming Revolution in Russia. By the Author of "Russia as it really is".' A4 11 pp. Signed in type at end 'CARL JOUBERT'. Begins: 'In stating a confident opinion that an upheaval of the present condition of affairs in the Empire of the Tsar is nearer than is generally anticipated I recognise the fact that it is incumbent on me to show some solid reasons for the pessimistic or should I rather say optimistic views which I hold on this subject.' ITEM TWO: 'The Soldier of Russia. By the Author of "Russia as it really is"'. A4 25 pp. Autograph signature of 'Carl Joubert' at end and autograph note at head of first page: 'Both manuscript can be made in one.' Begins: 'One of the most pathetic figures of modern times is the Russian soldier. Before he was ordered to present himself at the Voinskaja Pavinost the conscription tribunal whilst he was yet a civilian he laboured under disabilities which are well night incredible to the dwellers in lands where liberty is the right of all men. But when on the Pelion of civil bondage is piled the Ossa of enforced service under a revoltingly barbarous military system the acme of human misery would seem to be attained.' ITEM THREE: 'Some Aspects of Russian Life. By the Author of "Russia as it really is".' A4 17 pp. Autograph signature of 'Carl Joubert' at end. Cancelled title on first page: ' "The Moujik" '. Begins: 'To me there is no country in the world with the fascination of Russia; no people more interesting than the numberless races which constitute the population of the vast dominions of the Tsar.' ITEM FOUR: ' "The Reason Why" By Carl Joubert.' A4 18 pp. Autograph signature of 'Carl Joubert' at end. Begins: 'There are many questions of the day which are never satisfactorily answered. For the moment they are discussed argued with unnecessary heat and finally relegated to the speculative historian to solve. . The question which is exercising the minds of a very considerable portion of humanity at this moment is - "Why did not the Tsar of Russia evacuate Manchuria in accordance with his promise; and by so doing save Russia from a disastrous war" I am able to throw some light on this question; and I shall do so in the hope of rendering some assistance to the perplexed minds of today and to the puzzled historians of tomorrow.' ITEM FIVE: 'The Easter Ukase of 1905.' A4 5 pp. Not ascribed. Mimeographed. Begins: Discussing in detail the 'Easter Ukase of 1905': 'Diogenes the Cynic was never known to laugh but if he were now alive on earth he I am very sure would have to hold his hands to his sides and split himself with merriment for Nicholas Alexandrovitch and for the foolhardiness and over praise of the foreign newspapers in which they state that a great boon has been bestowed by the Tzar upon his people of as they call it religious tolerance for Russia.' Place and date of none stated, but probably Edwardian. unknown

4678JOSEPH SLOCUM 1800-1853. Slocum was a merchant from Syracuse New York who attempted to sell farm equipment to Russia in the nineteenth century. He was unable to turn a profit from his endeavors and his family fell into financial hardship. His daughter Margaret Olivia Scolum Sage became an influential philanthropist and teacher. She endowed a building and a now-defunct agricultural school at Syracuse University both named after him.Archive. 9 pieces. 1830s-40s. An archive related to Joseph Slocum and his business with Russian agriculture. There are nine letters and documents predominately letters written to Slocum from various Americans and Russians. Highlights are listed below and the best piece is the first one the lengthy manuscript detailing Russian agriculture and natural resources:Handwritten document. 4pgs. September 12 1846. St. Petersburg Russia. The four page handwritten manuscript is entitled Some Rough Hints About the Productive Power of Russian Agriculture. It states in part: European Russia it may be divided grosso muto in three great regions or belts running from East to West. 1st - The first region extends between the White Sea and the provinces of Tver Smolensk Nijni-Novogorod & Kazan - it contains more wood low marshy ground intermixed the sand Baron then arable land. Rye oats barley potatoes hemp and flax are the main products of that region. 2nd - the second section of the Empire being comparatively densely populated forms a central part of the European Russia it is particularly addicted to manufacturing pursuits. It's Southern limits is about the course of the Oka River & the Central Valley of the Volga. The agricultural products are nearly the same as aforesaid. 3rd - the third region extending to the south and southeast as far as the Black Sea the provinces of Ashnaklan and the Ural Mountains reaches the Carpathian mountains Galicia & Moldavia in the West. It is mostly covered with a rich strata of black earth with a subsoil of clay lime & sandstone. Minoru is generally not used in this part of the country vulgarly called the step or prairie count the staple products of the fertile district are rye winter and summer wheat especially summer wheat - the summer frosts in the autumn preventing the seeds of the winter week to start up well millet oats barley peas buckwheat field poppy hemp flax & linseed. Cotton & Vine are raised merely in the most remote districts of the South such as Georgia Astrakhan the territory of the Cossacks of the Don Crimea & Bessarabia. Three other very important staples of Steph region are livestock & saltworks & fisheries. The stock consists mainly of horned cattle and horses grazing in large herds on the pastorate of the steps of the Black Sea As well as on both sides a lower Volga. Sheep both Merinos Saxon & form and main object of the agricultural industry of the step and owners. The Russian or common sheep is generally the property of the peasantry. The wool and tallow are usually sent overland in the winter to the manufacturing districts of the central belt of Russia Moscow. Or exported via Odessa Taganrog Riga & Petersburg to England and France. The saltworks are especially remarkable on the left sure the Volga on the verge of the province of Astrakhan as well as near the Ural River not far from the city of Orenburg. The Lake Elton alone of a circumference of nearly 180 miles is a solid mass of salt inexhaustible in its mineral riches. The stone saltworks of Gletznaia.As well as the saltworks a Crimea produce an immense quantity of that precious mineral. Besides that all the basin of the Caspian is full of an infinity of small salt lakes. The main fisheries are at the mouth of the Volga on the Caspian they produce an enormous quantity of fish of all kind. Besides that of the fisheries of the Ural River on the Don. The main fluvial artery of Russia is the Volga it is a Mississippi of our country. Its length is upwards 3000 miles. Unfortunately it is frozen up during nearly 6 months of the year. There are but very few steamboats in it. This year a large steam tow boat has been put into action on the Volga attended with great success.

The Minister is in full belief you had spoken to him about ain the Union that as soon as a new colony any where is establishedThis seemed to His Excellency excellent means to introduce in Russia and toin this way thepossibility to the peasants to have their implements cheap & well one.

Eminent historian William Coxe 1747-1828 studied the voyages and exploration by Bering and others to the regions of Kamchatka the Aleutian Islands and Siberia to prepare this overview of the geography and cultures of the lands between Russia and North America and to analyze the economic potential of trade--particularly in furs--with the region. According to Sabin "Mr. Coxe's book contains many curious and important facts with respect to the various attempts of the Russians to open a communication to the New World." The 1780 first edition of this work covered Russian voyages of discovery between 1740 and 1769; the 1787 third edition added a supplement comparing these explorations to those of Captains Cook and Clerke. Our much-expanded fourth edition gives in the words of the Preface "a complete series of voyages from 1711 to 1792 comprising all that is known on the subject." Some of this supplementary information was gleaned from earlier accounts by German historians G. F. Muller and P. S. Pallas and some from Coxe's own travels in Russia. According to Lada-Mocarski Coxe "also succeeded in securing additional material: for instance the narrative and maps of Krenitzin and Levashev's 'secret' expedition the first official Russian government expedition since Bering's 2nd expedition of 1741. He was able to secure this particular information not widely known at the time even in Russia from Dr. Wm. Robertson who in turn obtained it through his friend Dr. Rogerson first physician to the Empress Catherine II. . . . In view of the above additions one should consider the fourth edition of 1803 as the most desirable." He concludes: "Coxe's work particularly the fourth edition is a result of contemporary and authoritative sources translated into English not to be overlooked by scholars and collectors alike." There are also distinct aesthetic advantages to the present Large Paper version over the octavo printing. Not only is the type beautifully re-set and laid out as well as surrounded by vast margins but as Streeter notes there are two charts here that are not included in the octavo issue of 1803. The original owner of this volume Marcus Gage is known to have assembled a substantial library of beautifully cared-for books on travel and discovery see for example "Exploration & Discovery 1576-1939 Books from the Library of Franklin Brooke-Hitching" passim. Gage notes that he got the book from "Mr. Asperne"—no doubt the London publisher and bookseller James Asperne 1757-1820. ABPC and RBH find just four other Large Paper copies at auction in the past 45 years two of which had condition issues. One could wait a considerable time to find a copy as attractive and desirable as the present one. Cadell and Davies unknown

Very good. Printed broadside. 1 vols. Folio 375 x 285 mm. This appeal printed above the names of A. Kerensky Victor Tchernoff Chernov and other Russian Social Revolutionaries for the 32 former members of the Russian Constituent Assembly protests the hardships inflicted upon Russia by communism. They accuse the Bolshevik government and its New Economic Policy of selling Russia's natural resources to the greed of international capitalism. The NEP was announced by Lenin in March 1921 and inaugurated an interim policy guaranteeing freedom of trade in internal commerce and a system of concessions for the investment of foreign capital. European states and busineses were pleased with the NEP and saw in it Lenin's capitulation to capitalism. However what they considered a weakness eventually turned out to be a mark of strength and flexibility of Bolshevik policy. unknown
