Philippe-Paul de Segur was from a distinguished military and literary family; his father served in the American War of Independence and wrote plays for Catherine the Great. Philippe-Paul was a close supporter of Napoleon and so was forced to step back from public and military life on the latter's expulsion to St Helena. De Segur turned his hand to history, writing a History of Napoleon's campaigns of 1812 (his criticism of the Napoloen led to a duel in which de Segur was wounded) and this history of Russia and Peter the Great. The label on the front cover is a rarity. James Bigg was a bookseller in Westminster from 1816 until his death in 1848 when his son (also James) took over the business. It seems that he also ran a subscription library although this must have been a small affair as no record seems to exist of it beyond this label. The address in Parliament Street and the fact that his son edited Statutes indicates that the principal focus of their trade was in political works and so a first English edition of de Segur's work on Peter the Great would have been an ideal addition to their list.…
