middle of next month when there will be a new one ready
with all the Prices as she has charged them, and an addition
of a great many important works; among others there
will be a History of the Manjures and Mangals —
translated from the Manjuric Language, and which has
been translating & printing for these twenty four years
past, it is in sixteen Volumes Octavo.
There will likewise be a Collection of all Plato's works
in the Russian language in Three Volumes quarto.
You ask me some Account of The Sobrecednick, the
10th Volume is just now published in small Octavo
It began in May last, Each Volume contains about
twelve Sheets.
Czarawitch Close, the Empress's Tales, about which
you ask'd me, are not to be had here in french.
The answers to those Questions of which I sent you,
what you call a very bad Translation, were
written by the Empress, I thought I had told you so
The Stile was so indifferent in Russ. that it would
have been difficult to have made the translation tollerable.
I send you likewise a Magnificent Chart of
Moldavia, Wallachia &c — I send you also —
A Chart of the Empire in which The Requisitions
made to it in Each reign since Peter the Great
are distinguished by different colour'd Inks
It takes in the Discoveries by Kamschatkov.
