SUVOROV, ALEKSANDR
(1729 - 1800) Russian general who commanded the Russian army that suppressed the Polish revolt after the second partition of Poland by Russia and Prussia. In a swift campaign, culminating in the battle of Praga and the capture of Warsaw, he crushed Polish resistance. Suvorov's reputation reached its peak in the French Revolutionary Wars of 1798-99, in which he commanded Austro-Russian forces against the armies of the French Republic. Manuscript D.S. 3pp. 8vo., [n.p.], 1794, in Russian. Untranslated, but apparently routing financial content. Tiny upper-right corner torn affecting two wordsa of text, else fine. Sold with a second A.Ms. (unsigned), untranslated.
