A good copy in bright original boards pictorial gilt. Hakluyt Society. London. 1856. Hakluyt First Series Volume 20. The two works which are bound together in this volume both concern travels to Russia. Giles Fletcher visited Russia as an ambassador from Queen Elizabeth in 1588 while Jerome Horsey first went to Russia as an agent for the Russia Company and subsequently as an envoy from the English court, in all living in Russia more or less continually between 1575 and 1591. The rare first edition of "Of the Russe Common Wealth" contained the dedication to the Queen which was omitted during most subsequent reprints. "From it we learn that [the author] had to endure many indignities from the Russian authorities and, although he obtained several concessions for English merchants, he expressed his bad opinion of Russia so strongly that the Eastland merchants were alarmed. They accordingly petitioned Lord Burghley, and the book was suppressed. It was so much esteemed, however, that with the omission of several passages it was reprinted in Hakluyt and Purchas."
