Sobre este artículo
London: Printed by J. Nichols for T. Cadell, 1780. First edition. Hardcover. Scuffing to boards, corners reconstructed, occassional spotting to maps and text, offsetting to pages adjacent to view plate, overall about very good. xxii, 344, [16] pp., 5 folding plates (large frontispiece "General Map of the Russian Empire", view of the Frontier Town of Miamatschin, 3 additional folding maps); quarto (267 mm) contemporary marbled boards, later rebacking with russet calf, maroon morocco lettering pieces.
A well-researched account of Russian voyages of discovery. Coxe combed the libraries of St. Petersburg for the journals of Russian explorers Nevodsikoff, Serebranikoff, Trapesnikoff, Pushkareff, Drusinin, Kulkoff, Korovin, Glottoff, Solovioff, Otcheredin, Krenitizin, Levasheff, Synd, Bering, Chirikov, et al, and the text is largely his translation of extracts of these journals. Pp. xi-xii contain a bibliography of works used. Errata on p. xiv, including a pasted-on slip of additional "Omitted from Errata." Cox II, 25; Hill 391; Howes c834; Sabin 17309.
