Nowadays readers face many difficulties reading literary works of the XVIII-XIXth centuries: peculiarities of everyday and family life, references to unknown facts and people. The author of the proposed research, the distinguished Russian linguist and historian Y.A.Fedosiuk (1920-1993), gives clear explanations to the words and expressions that are frequently used in the literature of that period but became obsolete in modern speech. Extracts from many famous literary works are given as illustrations.
