the  Expedition to Finland and Sweden in 1871 under the leadership of 
the Imperial Russian Geographic Society; and II: Regarding basic 
hypothesis of the Ice Age. A supplement with maps and drawings was

Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg and at the Royal Geographical 
Society Library (London).

Prince Peter (Pyotr) Alexeyevich Kropotkin (1842-1921) began as an 
explorer of Asia, Siberia, and the Scandanavian countries for the 
Geological Society, but soon after the publication of this work he 
drifted into  revolutionary politics and anarchism, spent long years 
in exile, but returned during the revolution to help the Kerensky 
government formulate policy, withdrawing however when the Bolsheviks 
came to power. Spine split at front joint, otherwise binding tight, 
small institutional stamp in Cyrillic to half-title, label on spine, 
leaves clean; but for the split, a very good copy.  [30012] $200.00
