Petersbourg and its islands described in old geography
The excerpt surveys Petersbourg and Ingermanland, noting the narrow river passage to Lake Ladoga, the city's two winter and summer palaces, the island fortress economy, and the Admiralty district connected by bridges. It mentions Bazil Waffis Costrol, Prince Menzhcoff, stone and timber houses, and an avenue from the Admiralty stretching toward a distant bourgh.
