This book offers a unique and fascinating investigation into the
lives and careers of the British in eighteenth-century Russia and,
more specifically, into the development of a vibrant British
community in St Petersburg during the city's first century of
existence as the new capital of an ever-expanding Russian empire.
Based on an extremely wide use of primary sources, particularly
archival, from Britain and Russia, the book concentrates on the
activities of the British within various fields such as commerce,
the navy, the medical profession, science and technology and the
arts, and ends with a broad survey of travellers and of travel
accounts, many of them completely unknown. Also included are many
attractive and unusual illustrations which help demonstrate the
variety and character of Russia's British community.
