Description: | (Mountains of Nasjamsk, Ural) [USSR (Russia)] unknown Very nice, although badly dinged. Formerly included with M2805. Letter from Sir Andrew Buchanan dated May 1866, from HM Embassy in St Petersburg, reads: " Sir, After a visit which I paid some weeks ago to the Museum of the Mining Corps" in the captital, the Director of the Establishment sent me, with the sanction of the Emperor, some specimens of Russian minerals, according to the attached list, for presentation to a museum in Great Britain; and on my proposing that I should send them to the Museum of the Galsgow University, His Imperial Majesty was pleased to approve of my doing so. I therefore now forward to you a bill of lading[?] for a box, containing the specimens in question, which I have shipped by the steamer "Petersburg" to the care of Messrs James Miller and Sons of Leith, who will pay all charges upon it on my account. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Most Obedient Servant, Andrew Buchanan". Copies of the other original lists are also in the object history file. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SILICTGARNET : SILICTCHLORITE : DISPLAY : UNKNOWN : MINERAL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
