Pushkin to the great Russian educator, writer, journalist and historian Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766-1826). His famous "History of the Russian State", all twelve volumes of which were included in this edition, became a major event in the social life of the country, an era in the study of our past. This colossal work had a great influence on the development of Russian science, art and journalism in the 18th-19th centuries. As an appendix to the History, a Note on Ancient and New Russia is published, which has been tacitly banned for almost two centuries. The edition is illustrated with engravings from the rare album `Picturesque Karamzin`, published in the Pushkin times. *This description was translated from russian please forgive any errors*
