Propis, pokazyvaiushchaia rossiiskago pisma
Summary
Later edition of the 1787 publication by Andreĭ and Ivan Ri︠e︡shetnikov.
Etched/engraved throughout with a number of departures from the earlier edition. Some plates are rough approximations of the originals while others appear to be merely retouched. Paper of poorer quality than in the first edition.
LC copy incomplete: several leaves, and paper covers, wanting. Disbound. Has pencil doodling and drawings on verso of some leaves. Has LC label for Yudin Collection. May or may not have been part of the library of G.V. Yudin.
Also available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.
