The next volume of the series "Russian Legal Heritage" reproduces the text of the "Textbook of the History of Russian Law of the Empire Period (XVIII and XIX Centuries)" by Professor of St. Petersburg University V.N. Latkin (1858-1927). This textbook is a continuation of V. I. Sergeevich's "Lectures on the Ancient History of Russian Law" and, like the latter, is one of the best textbooks on the history of Russian law ever published in Russia. The text of the textbook is published in its second, substantially revised and revised edition, published in St. Petersburg in 1909. This publication is intended for students of law and historical universities, specialists in the field of Russian history and the history of the state and Russian law.
