SVIN'IN, Pavel Petrovich.
Sketches in Russia.
Svin'in (1787-1839) was appointed secretary to the Russian consul in Philadelphia, Andrei Dashkov, and spent twenty months in that city (October 1811–June 1813). During his stay, he published the present work to introduce Americans to his homeland. José Francisco Correia da Serra (1750–1823) was a friend of Thomas Jefferson and became Portuguese minister-plenipotentiary in 1816, also residing in Philadelphia.
