Important political, military, geographic, and ethnographic description of the Russian Empire in Spanish tongue. We doubt whether this treatise was really translated from the French, as no bibliographical description we could find mentions the French original author or title. The mentioned translation from the French could as well be a fiction to give more importance to the book. – Palau 144193. – The plates somewhat browned, else a good and clean copy. – Best.-Nr. 17024
