42350issued by the City of Moscow in 1908 with coupons text in both English and Russian folio with attractive vignette at the head of a knight slaying a Dragon Moscow At the end of the 19th century Europe lived under the law of alliances. As Germany and Russia move away Saint Petersburg and Paris get closer. Russia needed money and France needed friends to face the Triplice Germany Austria and Italy. "Slovophily" turns into hysteria. In 1888 Moscow issued four loans of 500 million gold francs under the blessing of the French public authorities. The Franco-Russian Alliance of 1891 ensured the success of the loans which multipled. Savers then rushed to the bank counters to show their patriotism and lend to Alexander III we will even build a bridge in Paris over the Seine that bears his name and then to Nicolas II and the City of Moscow. In 1904 the Russo-Japanese war caused panic but the banks were reassuring though after the October Revolution Lenin decided to stop recognising the debts of the old regime. unknown
42351Imperial Government of Russia 4% State Loan of 1902 bond issued by virtue of the Imperial Ukase of the 1st March 1902 to realise the contribution due to Russia in compensation for the "loses incurred in consequence of the Chinese disorders." the Boxer Rebellion "the annual payments to exactly correspond with the annual payments of interest and amortisation of the part of the contribution due to Russia which China engaged to pay in virtue of the Edict of the Chinese Empoer of of the 29th May 1901." folio A consortium of Russian German and Dutch banking and financial institutions were involved in the administration of this loan and payment of interest against coupons was paid from 18th June-1st July and from 19th December-1st January at various locations. An interesting anomaly is the denomination of the bond which is stated in Reichsmarks. The Reichsmark was not formally adopted as the German currency until 1924. The bonds were negotiable and accepted as security for Government contracts for deferred excise duties and for payment of customs duties at prices to be fixed half-yearly which would be not less than 90% of the face value of the bonds. The Boxer Rebellion in China had been followed by the combined military expedition of the powers to the Relief of Peking in which the US shared and the exaction of a huge indemnity of which the States relinquished nearly half of its share as in excess of the actual losses. The US protested against Russian demands upon China and actively participated in the negotiations which resulted in Russia's agreement to evacuate Manchuria. Russian delays and their policy have led Japan to declare war Secretary of State Hay's diplomacy was influential in limiting the zone of hostilities and the good offices of President Theodore Roosevelt brought about the conference between the two powers at Portsmouth N.H. which terminated hostilities. unknown

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

They have also supplied a few deficiencies and additional statements in reference to places of importance visited by the author so as to give the work much of the interest of a fresh production . an account has been given of Poland Siberia and other districts which were not visited by him in the course of his travels - Prefatory Memoir."
