*

Though not published until 1762, by the Academy of Sciences, this satire (and the second) circulated in manuscript form at St. Petersburg and Moscow in 1729. In fact, the satires appeared abroad in French (1744) and German (1752) translations before their Publication in Russia. This translation is made from the first nineteenth-century Russian edition, St. Petersburg: Smirdin, 1847.
