Although the project was never brought to fruition the impulse behind it stands as one of the nobler concepts of Catherine's reign" Fekula 2013 for a later edition.</p><p>A major document of the Enlightenment it condemned torture and capital punishment and endorsed such principles as the equality of all before the law.</p><p>The illustration consists of two detailed symbolic engravings each repeated once by Roth d. 1798 an engraver from Nuremberg who mostly worked in Russia.</p><p><strong>"The most magnificent and desirable of the more than 40 editions of the Nakaz"</strong> Widener <strong>"one of the most remarkable political treatises ever compiled and published by a reigning sovereign in modern times"</strong> I. de Madariaga Russia in the Age of Catherine the Great 1981 p. 151.

Light soiling corners lightly bumped and worn. Moderate toning to interior somewhat heavier in places some leaves have light foxing a few have light dampstaining to margins internally clean. Ex-library with a small inkstamp to title page. A handsome copy. $1000. Reissue of the first edition in French published by the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences for private distribution in 1769. This important text also known as the Nakaz or Instruction is a statement of legal principles written by Catherine II from 1764 and 1766. Permeated with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and copied mostly from the work of Voltaire Montesquieu and Beccaria it was compiled as a guide for the All-Russia Legislative Commission convened by the Empress in 1767 to create a new code to replace the 1649 Muscovite Code. Revised in consultation with Beccaria Frederick the Great and Voltaire the Instruction proclaimed the equality of all men before the law and disapproved of death penalty and torture. Unfortunately her proposed code was never completed. Catherine's manuscript was written in French and she later produced a Russian translation. Editions in German and Russian were published in Moscow in 1767. The book was initially banned in France because it was too liberal which is why the first French-language edition was produced in Switzerland with a false imprint. French and Latin editions were eventually published in 1770.

Title two in the series Pamiatniki Russkago Zakonodatel'stva 1649-1832. The Nakaz or Instruction is a statement of legal principles written by Catherine II between 1764 and 1766. It was among her most ambitious and significant undertakings. Infused with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and copied mostly from the work of Voltaire Montesquieu and Beccaria it was compiled as a guide for the All- Russia Legislative Commission convened by the Empress in 1767 to create a new code to replace the 1649 Muscovite Code. Revised in consultation with Frederick the Great and Voltaire the Instruction proclaimed the equality of all men before the law and denounced torture and the death penalty. Unfortunately her proposed code was never completed. The first two editions one with parallel texts in Russian and German were published in 1767. Our 1907 edition may have been inspired by a spirit of reform fired by the Russian Revolution of 1905. OCLC locates 1 copy in a North American law library Columbia.
