Collected by us in techenіi two liters svdnіya about the Novgorod gubernіi we offer in kind materіalov for systematic opisanіya gubernіi; in such a short time it was impossible for us to draw up a complete, systematic and satisfactory in all otnoshenіyakh opisanіya. Between these circumstances obnarodovanіya the need for any svdnіy about each locality is extremely necessary; we receive various administrative and private requests regarding sostoyanіya gubernіi in topographic, statistical, ethnographic and industrial otnoshenіi. By itself, it is understood that for zemstvo uchrezhdenіy it is possible only with the closest acquaintance with each individual mstnostіyu. All this prompted us to publish the collected svdnіya unfilled, if only we would quickly satisfy the general need.
