"Account of the Russian Discoveries between Asia and America" by William Coxe is divided into two parts. The first part contains preliminary observations concerning Kamtchatka, a peninsula in Russia, and the discoveries made by the Russians in the sea of Kamtchatka. It provides a detailed account of the Russian voyages to the Aleutian and Fox Islands, including descriptions of the islands, their inhabitants, and their customs. The second part of the book covers the conquest of Siberia and the history of the transactions and commerce between Russia and China. It includes an account of the first Russian incursions into Siberia and their subsequent conquest, as well as the trade and diplomatic relations between Russia and China. The book also provides a list of books quoted in the work, an explanation of some Russian words used, a table of Russian weights, measures, and value of money, and a list of charts with directions for placing them.
