40 pages. 17 cm. Contemporary quarter cloth over marbled boards. Binding solid; pages complete and clean, with occasional spots of foxing and light wear to edges; spine intact, covers worn at corners and edges with some fraying.
A rare contemporary memoir of Prince Vasilii Mikhailovich Dolgorukov-Krymskii (1722–1782), a prominent Russian field marshal and statesman who played a key role in the Russian military campaigns in Crimea under Catherine the Great. This early and short commemorative work, written by A. Bokk and issued by the Moscow Provincial Press, was composed after the subject\'s death, offering a laudatory sketch of Dolgorukov’s legacy. The text begins with a description of the prince’s final resting place in the village of Volynshchino near Ruza, which belonged to his son Vasilii Vasil’evich Dolgorukov, and concludes with a speech reportedly delivered by Rodionov at a memorial event. Permission for publication was granted by the Moscow censor P. Fedorov, as noted on the verso of the title page, with the printing license dated May 27, 1855.
