AT a period like the present, when we are involved in a contest with Russia, and when all information beariug on that country is caught up with avidity, to present to the public a translation of Dr. Hamel's valuable work may not be deemed a superfluous task; for, although his historical and descriptive sketches are somewhat loosely scattered through its pages, they possess the advantage of coming from the pen of a Russian who unwittingly discloses to our gene­ ration much of the aggressive and barbarous policy by which the rulers of his country were actuated even at the early period to which this Work prin­ cipally relates. Moreover now that, notwithstanding the great scarcity of books hitherto published having reference to that vast empire, our information with regard to its present resources is gradually becoming more correct, and we are made aware of their importance, it is curious to observe, in Dr. Hamel's notices, how very insignificant they must have been at that time; for we find that, in spite of Russia's would-be aggrandisement, she was subjected to repeated dis- iv TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. asters, owing to her inability to defend herself effec­ tually either against the Poles on the one side, or against the Tartars on the other, whilst at the same period she was oppressing the Fins, Samoiedes, and other tribes, who were destitute of the means and were too few in number to oppose her. But before proceeding any further with the deduc­ tions to which a perusal of the Work itself naturally leads, we will mention what knowledge we possess of the author, and ascertain how he became acquainted with the facts he adduces, and what reliance can he placed on his statements. Unfortunately that know­ ledge is not very extensive; for we are merely informed that Dr. Hamel came to England in the train of the Emperor Alexander in 1814, and that with so good an introduction, and his already acquired reputation for learning and science, he found no diffi­ culty then and in succeeding years in obtaining access to many of our public establishments, and, more especially with reference to this Work, to the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. There he diligently applied himself to de­ cipher the MSS. containing accounts of the early naval and commercial intercourse between the two countries, a task in which he was eminently suc­ cessful, as will be seen by the following pages, where much is brought to light that is interesting, not only from its relation to the voyages of the northern navigators of those days, and, as already mentioned, to the history of Russia, but to that of England herself: So far as regards his sketches of TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. v his own country, he was also in a great measure favoured by his position, which enabled him to have recourse to the archives at St. Petersburg and Mos­ cow, for he was (and probably still is) a Privy Coun­ cillor, and a Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. One of the most striking points in the whole Work is to be found in the first page, where the author recommends, that in order to commemorate the long duration of amicable intercourse between England and Russia, which at the time he wrote (1846) had existed uninterruptedly for nearly three centuries, there should be a jubilee in 1858, when that period would be completed, and which, owing to a curious coincidence, proved to be the very year in which diplomatic relations ceased between the two countries, followed by the war in which we are at present eIl­ gaged. Unfortunately, then, Dr. Hamel's amicable idea has been frustrated by events which must have inflicted much pain on a mind imbued with such friendly feelings towards the English. What will also strike the reader is the elaborate minuteness with which he has sought out and given the genealogy, with all its ramifications, of the families, not only of the leaders, but even of the abettors, of the early voyages of discovery to the North, and more especially that of Sir Hugh 'ViI. loughby, the chief of the first expedition which reached Russia from our shores, and who, with the crews of two vessels, perished miserably, being frozen to death, in the winter of 1558-54. To those devoted VI TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. to studies of this nature, the details he gIves will doubtless prove highly interesting, and possibly throw light on circumstances connected with the ancestry of some of our aristocracy which were pre­ viously either obscure, or not known to the mass of readers. In his recapitulation of voyages in the Arctic Ocean, there are li.kewise several statements which deserve notice, particularly that James Bisbrown, commanding a vessel Hamel does not name, but sailing out of Liverpool in 1765, reached the extra­ ordinary latitude of 88° 40', and then saw open sea before him towards the north, whilst, at the same time, the weather was mild and genial. Might not this circumstance, corroborated as it has been by our later discoveries, lead us still to hope that Franklin, or, at all events, many of his brave companions, may survive and be restored to us ? As other subjects interesting to the public, and especially to the mercantile community, we may allude to the details Hamel gives of the establishment of English factories in Russia; the nature of the cargoes we at first shipped to that country, and of those we received in return; the mode of bartering, and the value of English and Russian commodities at that early epoch of our commercial intercourse, and the reception given by us to the first Russian am· bassadors-all information derived from the before. mentioned MSS., which for so long an interval had remained unnoticed, and of which Dr. Hamel has so industriously availed himself. TRANSLATOlt'S PREFACE. Vll Of Tradescant, the elder, no mention is made until towards the close of the first section, and to him Hamel justly ascribes the merit of establishing the first museum in England, which now incorrectly goes by the name of the Ashmolean, so called from Ashmole, to whom Tradescant, the younger, be­ queathed it, but the contents of which were collected by the former indefatigable naturalist and botanist, whose descriptions will doubtless prove acceptable to the scientific of the present day.

  • The Murman Coast and the Northern Dvina Delta As English and Dutch Commercial Destinations in the 16Th and 17Th Centuries J.W
    ARCTIC VOL. 48, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 1995) P. 257–266 The Murman Coast and the Northern Dvina Delta as English and Dutch Commercial Destinations in the 16th and 17th Centuries J.W. VELUWENKAMP1 (Received 26 August 1993; accepted in revised form 30 September 1994) ABSTRACT. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Murman coast trade and the Northern Dvina trade were two clearly distinct branches of Western European commerce. The Murman coast trade involved the commerce with the regional economy of the Kola Peninsula, and the Northern Dvina trade coincided with the transit trade with the Russian interior. In the 1550s, the English established commercial relations with interior Russia via the mouth of the Northern Dvina, mainly exchanging woollen cloth and metals for north and central Russian forestry and agriculture products. In the 1570s, the Dutch followed suit, and by the second decade of the seventeenth century, they had squeezed the English almost completely out of the Russian market. The Northern Dvina trade became a major line of Dutch business, involving the transit trade with interior Russia, the exchange of the products of the north and central Russian forestry and agriculture for gold and silver money and a wide range of military stores and luxury goods. In the 1560s, the Dutch developed commercial relations with the Murman coast, exchanging locally produced exports like cod, salmon, furs and train oil for locally used imports like woollen cloth, tinware, salt, pepper, and wine. In addition, from the early 1570s, the Dutch used Kola as an alternative to the Northern Dvina mouth as a port for the transit trade with interior Russia; but they did so only until about 1585, when the tsar directed all foreign trade of interior Russia to proceed via the newly founded port of Archangel on the Northern Dvina.

  • An Occult Version of Early Medieval History of Russia and Description Of
    The Journal of the Hakluyt Society January 2017 An Occult Version of the Early Medieval History of Russia and Description of Arctic Navigation Routes in the Pskov Chronicle of 1689 by A. V. Chernetsov and A. A. Turilov The Manuscript Department of the State Historical Museum (GIM, Moscow) holds a notable example of later Russian chronicle writing that contains a unique and extensive legendary account of the initial opening up of the Russian north, including a description of Arctic navigation routes. The Pskov Chronicle (entitled ‘The Book at the Beginning of the Primordial World According to the Alphabet [Abecediary]’) is extant in only one copy, dated 1689 (GIM, I. E. Zabelin Collection, No. 460/468 (129)‒Q). Zabelin (1820–1908) was one of the founders and organizers of the Historical Museum in Moscow; he was also a famous historian of Moscow, a specialist on the history of everyday life, habits and customs, an archaeologist, and a connoisseur and collector of manuscripts.1 The text of the Pskov Chronicle is a typical example of the late ‘legendary’ mode of Russian chronicle writing (such as The Tale of Slovensk the Great).2 The Chronicle begins with highlights of world (i.e. Biblical) history from Adam and Noah onwards, and written legends recounting the early history of the Slavs. The latter mostly repeat stories borrowed from the Tale of Slovensk. Thereafter the narrative focuses mainly on the history of the Pskov region, and primarily on the main character of the Chronicle, Princess Olga. The date of the text (or the extant copy) is mentioned in the introduction (fol.

Its principal purpose is to discuss the icebreakers on which it concentrates not only just before but also just after Russia’s withdrawal from the First World War, with a view to contrasting the first phase of the ships’ history with the second and highlighting the perennially ambivalent character of the Anglo-Russian relationship. On the way, it points out the geographical limitations of the Russian Empire by drawing attention to the fact that it was almost land-locked between 1914 and 1917; ventures into the history of the part of Britain in which the ships were built in order to show that a region which is sometimes thought to be introspective was once outward-looking; makes a contribution to environmental history by speaking of the difficulty of sailing in Arctic and sub- Arctic waters; develops an aspect of the history of technology by focussing on a class of vessel which was relatively new in the early twentieth century; and even engages, towards the end, with a key period in the life of an important figure in Russian literary history.
