Rare first edition of one of the best-informed economic statistics of the Russian Empire, its production and trade. Heinrich Friedrich von Storch (1766-1835), a Russian economist of German descent, launched a statistical project to document the state of affairs of the entire Russian Empire and was tutor the sons of Tsar Alexander I in political economy. Here he gives town-by-town information on the male inhabitants, number of churches, houses (wooden and of stone), manufacturing and export. For example, Tula, the oldest industrial centre of Russia, had already two iron works with blast furnaces and more than 600 metal working businesses.
