TRANSCRIPTS of the journals of Gen. James Francis Edward Keith, commanding the Russian troops during the war of 1741-1743 in Finland against the Swedes, in French, viz.: (a) two separate journals of the campaign of 1741, the former written in the first, and the latter in the third person. ff. 1, 26;-(b) journal for 1742. f. 57;-(c) journal for 1743.f. 74. They were edited for the Finska Vetenskaps-Societet (Bidrag, &c., Häft 44, p. 59) by Aug. J. Hjelt (Helsingfors, 1887) from a copy in the Royal Library at Stockholm. The printed journal of the campaign of 1741 agrees, in the main, with those in the present MS., while that of 1742 is less full and ends on 1 July (the MS. extending to 3 July); and that of 1743, which ends on 12 June, is much fuller than the MS., though the latter is continued to 6 September.
Paper; ff. 82. Quarto. 7 3/4 in. x 61/4 in. and (from f. 26) 9 in. x 7 in. XVIII cent. Half-bound in calf, marbled sides.
