BmLIOGRAPHYThe sources, primary and secondary, used in this study are cited at the end of
each relevant chapter.
It was felt desirable, however, to list together in one place all the primary
materials. The following, therefore, is an attempt at a comprehensive bibliography
of all writings (public and private) of M. M. Speransky published so far. For con-
venience's sake, a list of the most important articles and books dealing directly
with some facet of Speransky's career has .also been appended.
Not all the items listed have been accessible to the writer, so that complete page
references could not always be provided.
The bibliography is arranged in the following manner:
A. Writings by M. M. Speransky
- Religion and philosophy
- Political and administrative writings
S. Codification - Letters
B. Sources concerning M. M. Speransky - Letters to Speransky
- Memoirs and reminiscences
C. Selected secondary studies.
