[Mogilev]: V Polevoi Tipografii Glavnogo Shtaba 1-i Armii, 1819. Octavo (17.7 × 11.1 cm). Contemporary patterned calf; all edges gilt; [3], 75, [2], XII pp. Three charts and forms on two folded leaves. Binding rubbed; small private owner labels to front pastedown; else about very good. Second edition of a very rare compilation of instructions for soldiers of the First Russian Imperial Army, with detailed instructions for various types of guardsman service, marching orders, rules for reporting to superiors, as well as behavior during formal military parades. The two folding leaves contain templates for evening reports, reports on arrivals and departures, and arrest sheets. The work appears to be the second edition of a manual published in Mogilev, in today's Eastern Belarus, which appeared in 1818 (according to a copy held at the Russian State Library in Moscow). Similar works are also known to have appeared at Warsaw, the site of the infamous Warsaw Garrison, established in 1813 and reenforced by such famous generals as Ivan F. Paskevich and Barclay de Tolly. Both of these leaders commissioned short collections of instructions for the troops; Paskevich's manual was even considered the first secular book printed at Warsaw. We cannot trace our edition in KVK or OCLC. The only similar text was formerly held by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, but is now marked a war loss. This appears to have been an 1816 edition of the work of Ivan Paskevich, the "Prince of Warsaw." It is possible that the text of our work is also based on either Paskevich's or De Tolly's manuals. Rare; not recorded in the Russian trade (including auctions), or in Western auction records.

Faded and rubbed to spine. Hinges tender. Toned, with some spotting. Endpapers browned. Neat inscription to ffep.
Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (1881 - 1931) War correspondent. "I joined the Third Army at the commencement of August 1904, just before the first assault, remained attached to General Nogis headquarters until January 17, 1905, and entered the fortress with the victorious Japanese - one of my chief objects to place on record the obsolete method of fighting which characterised the siege - how men meet in masses to settle the disputes of their governments with bayonet, clubbed rifle and hand-grenade".
August 4, 1904 - January 2, 1905, the siege of Port Arthur on the Liaodong Peninsular of Manchuria was the longest battle of the Russo-Japanese War.

His dream was the creation of the world's first Socialist state. It was a short-lived dream that became a nightmare when Stalin rose to absolute power in 1929.
