First edition of an early warning against Napoleonic France: a fresh copy of this unusual work. Part II was never published, but 12 pages are devoted to it as 'preview'.

The unidentified author considers the very real threat posed by the all powerful French under Napoleon not only to Russia as the title suggests, but also to Great Britain and her possessions abroad. His purpose being to stimulate the British government into making adequate preparations to avert naval and military defeat at home and abroad. He recommends 'a friendly intercourse and close political connexion between Great Britain, Russia and America' as 'perhaps the only combination that can now be formed sufficient to bridle the domineering audacity of the French republic'.

One part (of 2, but all published) in one volume 4to (27.3 x 19.5 cm). Title, xvi, 182, [18] pp. Near contemporary half calf over marbled boards, gilt rules to covers and spine; neatly rebacked to style.

Kress B.4736.
