The article is devoted to the latest original documentary research of the historian Artyom Yuryevich Peretyatko, presented in a large three-volume edition at the Southern Federal University in Rostov-on-Don. The publication of new archival documents on the history of the Don Cossacks is of great interest to specialists - historians of the Cossacks. The newly discovered sources introduced into the scientific circulation make it possible to re-evaluate the history of the Cossacks in the period of the "Great Reforms" of Alexander II and "Counter-Reforms" of Alexander III. Previously, this period in the history of the Cossacks was not given sufficient attention. Three-volume A.Yu. Peretyatko filled the existing gap in the published sources on the history of the Cossacks in the second half of the 19th century. The innovative format of the publication of sources integrated with the lengthy reasoning of the author of the publication, both of a historical and source study nature, is of undoubted historiographical and bibliographic interest. However, such an original approach of the author to the academic publication of documents can cause justified criticism, both by conservative historians and source researchers and historiographers. But, despite the potential criticism of specialists, one cannot but welcome the innovative search of A.Yu. Peretyatko. It is a topical form of presenting such conservative academic work as the publication of a commented collection of archival documents. In the article, the author included a detailed own historiographic review and a short bibliography of publications on the research topic by Peretyatko.

В статье на основе архивных документов, впервые введенных в научный обиход, реконструируется история Императорского оркестра в СанктПетербурге первой трети ХIХ века. Показано, что в данный период, в отличие от модели Придворного оркестра, существовавшей в эпоху Екатерины Великой, институт оркестра опирался на несколько подразделений. Структура оркестра все более зависела от жизни оперных трупп. Яркой иллюстрацией является история оркестра итальянской труппы созыва 1828 года и реформа оркестра, проведенная Дирекцией Императорских театров в 1831 году параллельно увольнению труппы. Реформа осуществлена директором оркестров К. Кавосом, более известным в качестве композитора, инспектора Театральной школы, капельмейстера Русской оперы. Проясняется значение некоторых важных понятий, связанных с институтом оркестра рассматриваемого периода. The article reconstructs the history of the Imperial orchestra in St. Petersburg of the first third of the 19th century on the basis of archival documents first introduced into the scientific area. It is shown that unlike the model of the Court Orchestra, which existed in the era of Catherine the Great, the institution of orchestra of the beginning of the 19th century relied on several subdivisions. The orchestra structure increasingly depended on the operation of opera companies. A bright illustration is the history of the Italian company orchestra of 1828 and the reform of the orchestra, which followed in connection with its dismissal by the Directorate of Imperial Theatres in 1831. The reform was carried out by the director of orchestras Catterino Cavos, better known as a composer, inspector of the Theatre School, Kapellmeister of the Russian Opera. The author also clarifies the significance of some important terms related to the institution of the orchestra of the period under consideration.

The activities of the Landfras printing works and the associated publishing house are an important part of the history of book culture in the Czech lands in the 19th century and form a significant chapter in the history of book printing and publishing in this period. The focus of the production of the printing works and the publishing house reflected the new needs of literate broad social classes in the 19th century, showing increased interest in the printed word. The company used the modern methods and technologies available, which reduced the price of the final book or other printed materials. For publication, it selected titles whose sales were guaranteed or at least expected. The result was the repeated printing of a number of titles of religious, educational and entertainment literature, which had already been popular in previous centuries, and the development of contemporary titles for the general public from both urban and rural areas. For centuries, great popularity was mainly enjoyed by the titles of religious folk literature (Himmelschlüssel prayer books by the theologian Martin von Cochem and other prayer and devotional books), in which Baroque Catholic piety was reflected until the late 19th century. To the original Himmelschlüssel and other traditional titles, the printing works added titles of its regular authors and their translations of contemporary prayer and religious literature. It complemented the titles of secular entertainment literature (reprints of original works, e.g. Kronika o Štilfridovi [The Chronicle of Štilfríd] or Kronika sedmi mudrců [The Chronicle of the Seven Wise Men]) with translations and original works by Jan Hýbl and Václav Rodomil Kramerius, and it also printed moralising stories by local priests. Educational literature, such as guides for homesteaders, cooks and the like sold also well. A separate activity section comprises the publication and printing of textbooks mostly for local schools. Until the end of the 19th century, they were abundantly complemented by printed broadsides, affordable to every household. A significant chapter of the 19th century was the development of periodicals, which was mirrored in the second half of that century also in newly emerging regional titles, especially in the weekly Ohlas od Nežárky [Echoes from the River Nežárka], which began to be published in 1871.

Money, income, and prices are important macroeconomic variables that play a crucial roles in an economy. The trends in money supply, movements in prices, changes in nominal and real income, as well as their interrelationships affect the economic life and well-being of a nation. The compilation of data on these magnitudes over long periods of time along with the supporting analysis is what constitutes monetary history. The present book by P. R. Brahmananda has carried out such an exercise for India. In presenting the monetary history of India, the author has kept the pioneering work of Milton Friedman and Anna Shwartz as a model for his work, and has comprehensively treated the 19th century events and experiences of the then Indian Subcontinent in the monetary and related areas. In the process, more than 200 time series of different variables have been brought together. The book not only contains a narrative account including the summary of the various viewpoints before the currency committees, and a detailed chronology of the period, but also examines the pros and cons of the various controversies of that period. Moreover, it subjects the empirical evidence to econometric testing of several important hypotheses of the modern-day monetary theory.

The Uprising of 1863–1864 is one of the most controversial issues in Belarusian history of the period when Belarus was a part of the Russian Empire. This issue started being controversial in the 19th century; one of the important reasons for discussions was the source study factor. One of the most commonly used sources on the events of 1863–1864 was the memoirs of the Vilna Governor-General Mikhail Muravyov, published in the Russian Antiquity (Russkaya Starina) magazine. They sparked heated debate among historians and publicists; the subject of the debate was numerous cases of biased interpretation of historical facts by M. Muravyov; self-glorification and lies. Such figures as Mikhail Semevsky (the publisher of the memoirs); Nikolai Berg; Yevgeniy Karnovich; Pyotr Valuev; Sergei Yuzhakov; Alexandr Pavlov; Ivan Aksakov; Alexandr Mosolov and others were the participants of the discussion. In general; the participants were divided into two groups – critics and supporters of Muravyev. The firsts sought; based on the critic of the Muravyov postulates; to reveal the distortions and to present more objective picture of what had been happening; the seconds supported and justified everything that had been written in every possible way. The discussion confirmed the presence in the Russian historiography of the polar views and assessments of M. Muravyov as a person and as a statesman in the position of the Governor-General of Vilna; as well as attracted additional attention of historians to the issue of the Uprising in general.

The article is to study the history of formation and development of the unique library of the Beijing Magnetic Meteorological Observatory governed by the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences. Nowadays, researchers increasingly focus their attention not just on history of institutes themselves, but also on history of their communications with and incorporation into the scientific institutional community. Studying the library of the Beijing Magnetic Meteorological Observatory (BMMO) and its books provide a better understanding of its place in the network of magnetic meteorological observatories of the 19th century Russian Empire, which has determined the novelty of the work. The author has introduced into scientific use new archival documents and data from the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Academy of Sciences and from the Russian National Library. The article analyzes activities and history of the Observatory, which was located on the territory of the Russian Orthodox mission in Beijing (China) from 1848 to 1914. For the first time in Russian and international historiography, not only the formation history of the library of the Beijing Observatory has been analyzed, but also the contents and structure of the library stock and its uniqueness. The author has demonstrated variety of its scientific life. As the library was destroyed in the Yihetuan Movement in 1900 and the 1917 Revolution in Russia, the article covers the second half of the 19th century. Its methodological basis modern basic principles of historical research (scientific objectivity, historicism, consistency, historical-genetic approach, etc.), as well as methods of social history of science (relationship between the science and the state, between the science and other social institutions, etc.). It uses the methods of statistical processing of large databases (the sampling method and the method of grouping and summarizing the materials of statistical observation) to analyze the books in library. The research fills the gaps in scientific knowledge on 19th century China and introduces data on the activities of the Imperial Academy of Sciences institutions (Magnetic Meteorological Observatory as well as its library as auxiliary apparatus). Studying the history of scientific research in China can enrich the scientific ties between two countries and allow us to rethink the historical legacy of Russia and China.
