First bilingual edition of the diary (1812-1814) and the German original version of the memoirs of Lt. Heinrich August Vossler (1791-1848). The diary was never published before. The memoirs of Vossler appeared only in translations into English, French and Italian - but never in the original German. Illustrated with unpublished drawings of Wuerttemberg officers Christian von Martens and Christoph Ludwig von Yelin.

This is the second volume of the series Archivalia Rossica, a new joint project of the New Literary Observer publishing house and the German Historical Institute in Moscow. The mission of the series is to publish hitherto unpublished sources on Russian history of the 18^th to early 20^th century from archives in Russia and abroad. The source texts will appear both in the original language and in Russian along with in-depth scholarly commentary. The volumes will also include rare or previously unpublished visual materials.
