Faint dampstain to upper margin of most leaves. A scarce work in which an "Evangelical Alliance" of American and British religious leaders petition Tsar Alexander II to grant religious freedom to Catholics and Protestants in 1871. The report begins with some background on the "Evangelical Alliance and Religious Liberty" religious persecution in the Baltic States some information on the penal laws in Russia and then the alliance's work in arguing for religious freedom beginning with their "Prepatory Labors" and "Meetings in London and Stuttgart" and ending with the "Final Promise of the Prime Minister" and "The Result." The latter included "partial relief" from religious persecution with hopes for "further improvements." The report is signed at the end by its President Samuel F.B. Morse. The report is followed by an Appendix printing "Prince Gortschakoff's Report to the Emperor of Russia" and three other memorials and interviews pertaining to the alliance's activities in Europe. An early example of religious diplomacy from American and British leaders. Ten copies in OCLC. unknown

Requesting the publisher's permission to commission a German translation of his Russian Peasantry which first appeared in 1888 with a second edition in 1890.

Light soil; Near FIne. <br /> <br /> Sergei Stepniak aka Sergius; aka Sergey Stepnyak-Kravchinskii 1851-1895 made his revolutionary bones during the Narodnik Rebellion of 1877-78 by openly assassinating Nikolai Mezentsov the head of the Czar's secret police on the streets of St. Petersburg. Kravchinskii committed the act in broad daylight and made no attempt to disavow his guilt living publicly if dangerously for several months before finally escaping to Switzerland. He arrived in London around 1880 and quickly became the center of a lively Russian revolutionary exile scene. He founded the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom in 1891 and wrote a number of well-received books on revolutionary Russia including Underground Russia which had in fact been published in translation prior to his exile The Russian Peasantry 1888; and a fictionalized account of his own exploits The Career of a Nihilist 1889. He was killed somewhat mysteriously we think by an onrushing train in December of 1895 depriving him of any opportunity to witness the fruit of his labors in the Revolutions of 1905 and 1917. Dying young Stepniak did not leave a great body of manuscript material behind him and relatively few letters with good content have appeared in commerce. Harper and Brothers unknown
