[Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837)]
Istoriia pugachevskago bunta. [History of the Pugachev Rebellion]. St Petersburg: at the Imperial Chancellery press, 1834.
First edition, in a contemporary Russian binding, of Pushkin's history of the Pugachev rebellion, the peasant revolt of 1773-4. Rare: RBH and ABPC record two copies having been offered at auction since 1979. Tsar Nicholas II loaned Pushkin 20,000 rubles to publish this scholarly work, insisting on the use of the word 'rebellion' in the title, rather than Pushkin's working title 'History of Pugachev'. Pushkin conducted much of the research in state archives, corresponded with surviving eyewitnesses, and visited the scenes of the conflict. This copy includes the supplemental notes (110pp.) not mentioned in Smirnov-Sokol'skii. Kilgour 887; Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Pushkin, 33.

3 parts in 2 volumes, large octavo (249 x 160mm). Engraved map, engraved numismatic portrait of Pugachev, and four leaves of lithographic manuscript (lacking the frontispiece portrait, map with 160mm tear into lower left, minor finger-soiling and staining). Contemporary Russian green half morocco, spines gilt (light wear to extremities).
