This is the first publication of autobiographical "Notes" of Nikolai Pavlovich Anosov, a mining engineer, goldsmith and an official on special assignments under the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, who led the search for gold deposits in Eastern Siberia and discovered the richest gold placers in the Upper Priamurye in 1866. With this discovery began the rapid development of gold mining, which became one of the main factors in the development of the Far East. Compiled in 1880, "Notes" covers the events from the second half of the 1830s to 1874. The author highlights his views on the geological foundations and methods of prospecting for gold placers, events and impressions of life in Paris and St. Petersburg, work as a member of geological prospecting parties on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, in the vicinity of Irkutsk and in the Far Eastern taiga. The text is provided with an original preface, commentary, scientific reference apparatus, and drawings by N. P. Anosov. The manuscript original of the "Notes" is provided by its curator A. V. Gavrina.
