It examines the Society from a wide variety of perspectives of the men and women who took part in its work-the St. Petersburg aristocrats and academics who established it in the 1760's, the budding intelligentsia, Catherine the Great and her court, its correspondents in Western Europe and the Russian provinces, and the wider Russian public. 606 $aEconomics$zRussia$xSocieties, etc$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xEconomic policy$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xEconomic conditions$yTo 1861 615 0$aEconomics$xSocieties, etc.$xHistory 676 $a330.06/04721 676 $a330.94706 700 $aLeckey$b Colum$f1963-$01473132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781694803321 996 $aPatrons of enlightenment$93686201 997 $aUNINA
