Notes: Pt. 1 only, with 50 ports. Beketov intended the work to have 200 ports., but no more published. Originally issued in 5 fascicles 1821-24. The Kiriı̐eı̐Łevskie brothers bought the copper plates after Beketov's death and republished Pt. 1 in 1843. Notice on p. [iii] dated 20 May 1842 wrongly claims that the work had never been published previously. See Efron.
