The first publication of the surviving volumes of the manuscript by Fyodor Ivanovich Shemelin, a clerk of the Russian-American Company and a participant in the first Russian circumnavigation of the globe on the sloop Nadezhda (1803–1806) under the command of Captain I. F. Kruzenshtern. The publication also includes parts of F. I. Shemelin's "Journal," published in 1816–1818.

Shemelin describes the expedition through the eyes of a civilian, focused primarily on trade matters and simultaneously a member of Ambassador N. P. Rezanov's retinue. His notes offer a different perspective on the events of the voyage, the relationships between the expedition members, and the conflict between Rezanov and Captain Kruzenshtern, which jeopardized the expedition's fate. Unlike the previously published diaries of the naval sailors: I. F. Kruzenshtern himself, his assistant M. I. Ratmanov, and officer E. E. Levenstern.

The notes also include detailed commercial information: data on purchases and sales during the voyage, which is impossible to obtain from any other source.
