Add to basketFirst edition, a collection of Russian documents in English translation, all serving the compiler's attempt to cement the reputation of Peter the Great (who had died four years earlier) as a great leader and reformer. Thomas Consett was the first Anglican priest of the "British Factory", the association of British merchants who…were resident in Russia. He spoke Russian, established a reputation as a scholar, built a vast Russian library, and moved in circles close to Peter, whom he was a great admirer of. Through these circles he accessed information not just ecclesiastic and scholarly, but also relating to political matters, making him a valued correspondent of the British government. The book was published with a clear purpose, using the printing of original documents to establish the place of Peter the Great as a revolutionary leader in Russia's history. "I have thought it for the purpose to lay a sure foundation of future history, by drawing out of the language of the country some authentick records which will, and must be allow'd to be proper materials for historians to work with hereafter, and which yet might have been lost or neglected" (p. ii). His collection includes Peter's Spiritual Regulation of 1721, which abolished the patriarchate and replaced it with the Holy Synod, and additional ecclesiastical regulations. Also included is a contemporary biography of Peter, documents relating to his death and funeral, and an account of his development of the Russian navy. ESTC T130057.
