‎MONGOLIA and CHINA‎

‎The Angus Ivan Ward Collection of Russian accounts of Mongolia and China.‎

‎various publication places and dates 1764 - 1914. . Collection of 18 titles. Extensive collection of Russian works focusing mostly on Northern China and Mongolia including important and rare travel trade and exploration accounts. Assembled by Angus Ivan Ward us consul in China and Russia during troubled times and ambassador in Afghanistan. Ward 1893-1969 served in the U.S. Army during World War I and then became U.S. Vice Consul in Mukden China in 1926; then in Tientsin in 1927-29 and again in 1932. He was sent to Moscow in 1938 and served as U.S. Consul General in Vladivostok during WWII in 1943. Before becoming U.S. Ambassador in Afghanistan in 1952-56 he was back in Mukden as Consul in 1948 where he became the subject of the Ward Incident 1948-49. During the final years of the Chinese Civil War Ward and the consulate staff were imprisoned and held under house arrest by Mao Zedong's People's Liberation Army for almost a year creating a diplomatic rift with the United States. Ward's collection is remarkable for its wide range comprising 150 years of Russian approach to China and their neighbouring region Mongolia before the Russian revolution. Including important as well as lesser works most in first editions and all rarely found on the market the collection not only presents an excellent panorama of Russian exploration of the region but also allows a rare understanding of the commercial and diplomatic relations between these two giant states. It is completed by scholarly works on local languages and cultures. Although Russian envoys and merchants were visiting and residing in Mongolia and China in the 17th century printed accounts of the relations between these countries became available to Russian readers only in the mid 18th century. At first they were Russian translations of works by Chinese authors such as An Account of the Chinese Mission to the Kalmyk Khan on the Volga in 1714 and Their Journey through Russia by Tulishen 1667–1741 which describes in detail the first official diplomatic mission of China to a European State. This early and important work later published in English by Staunton himself is represented here by a fine example of the first edition in Russian. One of the first Russian scholars of China is the celebrated and prolific monk Iakinf Bichurin 1777-1853. Leader of the 9th Russian Mission to Peking he spent 14 years in China learning the language and exploring the region. His Notes on Mongolia 1828 illustrated with fine hand-coloured plates is the first fundamental study of Mongolia by a Russian sinologist. When Bichurin's mission left Beijing the smooth transition with the new mission was under the control of the diplomat Egor Timkovskiy 1790-1875. His 3-volume Travels through Mongolia to China in the years 1820 and 1821 1824 became the first significant travel account of a Russian to China collecting material on Eastern Turkestan Mongolia Tibet China and Korea. The 1860 Beijing agreement ending the Second Opium War brought a new turn to the Russian exploration of the region. It was the result of Russian diplomatic efforts to facilitate negotiations between China on one side and Britain and France on the other and it allowed the establishment of a permanent Russian diplomatic presence in Beijing. The negotiations and Russia's role are described in detail in Baron Buksgevden's Russian China 1902. The last quarter of the 19th century was the most fruitful period for Russian exploration and the Ward collection includes some of the most important accounts published at that time. Due to an extension of the Great Game to the East many scientific Russian expeditions to Tibet and China were subsidized by the Russian Imperial Geographical Society with often a hidden agenda focusing on mapping the region and gathering intelligence data. An excellent example is given by Mikhail Pevtsov 1843-1902 a Russian army officer and student of Nikolay Przhevalskiy. His Account of a Travel around Mongolia and Northern Provinces of Continental China 1883 mapped unknown parts of Mongolia and Inner China which he discovered during his 1878-79 exploration. Similarly a generation later another military Vasiliy Novitskiy published an account on central Mongolia 1911 accompanied by fifteen accurate and detailed maps of the region. One of the most famous Russian explorers of the region is Grigoriy Potanin 1835-1920 who conducted eight expeditions to Mongolia Tibet and China with some of them lasting up to two years. The present collection includes his rare and fundamental 2-volume study of Central Mongolia and the Eastern border of China published in 1893 to which Ward added a scarce volume of articles by Alexandra Potanina 1843-93 Potanin's wife and the first woman to be accepted as a member of the Russian Geographical Society. A diplomat himself Ward extended his interest to the economic and diplomatic relations between Russia China and Mongolia. Exploration missions were indeed often useful to trade missions organized by the largest Russian trading companies trying to find new routes to the East and to understand the legal and economic aspects of trading in the region. Fascinating accounts were published including for example an Expedition to China in 1874-75 by Yu. Sosnovskiy 1883 Notes the Russian-Mongolian Trade by M. Bogolepov 1911 and Moscow Trade Mission to Mongolia by V. Popov 1912. Ward was a bibliophile and took great care of his purchases. All books are in excellent fresh condition and except the very rare Timkovskiy they are all complete with maps and illustrations. They have been bound in the mid 20th century in a uniform dark burgundy or brown colour in full cloth or in a quality half calf for the most important works except a couple of books such as the Tulishen which is in contemporary Russian half calf. During the binding work the maps were usually professionally laid on linen and carefully stored at the back of each volume in a pocket specially made. Most of the books bear Angus Ward's bookplate on the upper pastedown; some have supplementary earlier provenances. The full collection comprises the following titles. A detailed description of each with notes is available on request. Detailed description of the books: 1. -- . TULIŠEN Larion Kalinovich ROSSOKHIN translator Gerhard Friedrich MILLER publisher. 1714 . " ". An Account of the Chinese Mission to the Kalmyk Khan Ayuk on the Volga in 1714 and their Journey through Russia. Published in "Monthly Essays on Scientific Affairs". Publication: Imper. Akad. Nauk Skt. Peterburg 1764. A LOVELY FRESH EXAMPLE OF THIS EARLY ACCOUNT OF THE CHINESE MISSION TO THE KALMYK KHANATE - THE FIRST RUSSIAN EDITION OF THE FIRST DIPLOMATIC MISSION OF CHINA TO A EUROPEAN STATE according to the sinologist Mikhail Kapitsa. In the beginning of the 18th century the Kalmyk khanate situated in the South-East of the Russian Empire enjoyed autonomy in managing its domestic and foreign affairs. Ayuka Khan had a considerable authority both within the khanate and abroad and the Russian government relied on his military support to protect the borders of the Empire and make allies with the Asian states. The Tulišen's mission was pre-approved by Peter the Great and aimed at forming a military union against the Dzungar Khanate. Originally published in Beijing in 1723 in Chinese and Manchurian this account became known in Europe thanks to the French translation issued in 1729. In 1732 a scientist of a German origin based in Saint Petersburg and the publisher of the "Ezhemesiachnye sochineniya" "Monthly essays" Gerard Miller issued his German translation of the account. Miller however didn't fully trust the accuracy of the French text on which he based his German translation; he wished to use a Russian translation based directly on the Chinese or Manchurian original. Miller's goal was achieved when he discovered a Russian translation of the travel account done by Larion Rossokhin a knowledgeable translator from Chinese and Manchurian and a resident at the Imperial Academy of Sciences. He resided in China for many years and had a chance to work with the original Manchurian text. Before passing away in 1761 Rossokhin left all his documents and translations to the Academy of Sciences including the unpublished translation of the Tulišen's work which Miller tracked down. For clarity Miller supplied his own notes and comments in addition to those of Rossokhin.

Publication: Tip. meditsinskogo dep. Ministerstva vnutrennikh del Sankt Peterburg 1824. For several decades after its publication this account remained the most comprehensive and reliable source of information about the region and was subsequently translated into English German and French. In 1820 Egor Timkovskiy 1790 - 1785 writer diplomat and a Privy Councillor was entrusted to accompany a new Russian mission to Beijing led by Archimandrite Petr Kamenskiy. On the way back to Russia he was to ensure a safe return of the 9th mission headed by Iakinf Bichurin who spent 12 years fulfilling his duties in Beijing. Timkovskiy set off from Kiakhta in August 1820 and returned a year later having stayed in Beijing for 9 months. He used this time to explore geography history and culture of the region and subsequently published his findings in 1824 upon the Imperial order. The first volume of his work follows the caravan route between Kiakhta and Beijing; the second one provides an overview of China Eastern Turkistan Tibet and Korea; and the third one is dedicated entirely to the description of history geography religion as well as political and economical organization of Mongolia.

An account compiled by the Ukrainian born Colonel Sosnovskiy 1842 — 1895 who headed the 1874-75 expedition to China aimed at finding new land routes to Chinese trade markets. Among other tasks set by the Russian government the expedition was to evaluate opportunities for expanding trade with China find most favourable locations for Russian consulates and fabrics and also collect intelligence information on the Dungan revolt taking place in the Eastern regions of the country. The expedition resulted in establishing a new route to China which was 1600 versts shorter than the one used before. In the mid 1870s still weakened after Russo-Japanese war the Russian Empire concentrated its geopolitical interests in Asia. Its activity in Central Asia and attempts to create spheres of influence in Tibet and China brought Russia on the brick of war with England which was itself aiming to dominate in the region. Both countries were actively conducting military intelligence in China considering it a possible future war arena. At that point Russian Empire sent multiple missions to Mongolia China and Tibet with most of them being headed by officers of the General headquarters. Sosnovskiy headed two such expeditions.

Russian China: notes on the diplomatic relations between Russia and China The Convention of Peking of 1860. Publication: Noviy Kray Port Artur 1902. The publication of this work was triggered by the events in China in 1900 when the massive rebellion against foreign intervention in Chinese provinces resulted in extensive violent attacks on foreigners official missions and Christian monuments. To protect their interests German American British and Russian forces advanced on Beijing and put an end to the rebellion which was supported by the Chinese government. The author found the developments of 1900 to have direct connection to the ones that took place 40 years before when at the culmination of the Second Opium War the British and French troops entered the Forbidden City in Beijing. Reflecting on these events Baron Buksgevden describes the diplomatic efforts of the Russian representative Ignatiev in 1860 to facilitate the negotiations between China on one side and Britain and France on the other and their successful outcome for the Russian Empire. The editor was planning to continue the work with description of the events of 1900 in China but the second part was never published.

John Gustaf RAMSTEDT. . Chants epiques des Mongols. Publication: Parovaya tip. gazeta Vostochnoye Obozreniye Irkutsk 1902. FRESH EXAMPLE OF THIS ARTICLE BY ONE OF THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE SCHOLARS OF MONGOLIAN FOLKLORE which he published in Irkutsk after returning from a 2-year long scientific expedition to Mongolia. The author expresses his deep fascination with Mongolian epos which was traditionally passed through the generations by word of mouth and provides a detailed analysis of Mongolian fairy tales finding common features distinctive of their folklore. Ramsted 1873-50 was a Finnish diplomat and linguist specialising in historical linguistics of the Urals Altaic Korean and Japanese languages. With a purpose of studying the Altaic languages he undertook two expeditions to Mongolia in 1898-1901 and 1909-19 where he became a personal friend of the highly educated Buryat Mongol Agvan Dorzhiev who acted as a plenipotentiary representative of 13th Dalai Lama. Thanks of his connections Ramstedt was one of the few foreigners who was invited to visit Lhasa but unfortunately the coming events prevented his visit to Tibet. In 1911 the Mongolian delegation in St. Petersburg asked Ramstedt to act as mediator with the Imperial Russian government to support the Mongolian Independence from the Chinese Empire. He managed to assure the Russians of the good will of the Mongolian representatives and they supplied 15.000 modern rifles to the Mongolians to start the uprising against the Chinese rule in Mongolia.
