1793 Pallas Travels Through Russian Empire RUSSIA Asia Geography Zoology Lamarck
Peter Simon Pallas was an 18th-century German voyager zoologist. He is most-remembered for his voyages in Russia in which he wrote an extensive topographical history of Russia. This fascinating work covered a wide range of topics including geology, mineralogy, and zoology as well as dealing with native people covering their cultures, customs, and religions.
This 1793 French edition is a new edition of the original work, revised by Lamarck and Langles. (Richarderie; Monglond). Pallas was sent by the Academy of St. Petersburg to observe the passage of the planet Venus in front of the Sun. He would spend six years traveling all through Russia and this narrative of Russia opened up the rest of the world to traveling in Russia, something that had not yet been published to that point.
