Koksharov (General NICOLAI IVANOVICH). [1818-1893] 



Koksharov was the son of the Director of Mines at Beresovsk, in the 

 Urals, and, following in his father's footsteps, became a mining engineer 

 in the Imperial Service. In 1845, he was appointed professor, and, in 

 1872, Director of the Mining Institute at St. Petersburg, a post held till 

 his retirement in 1891. His private collection (about 3250 specimens) 

 was purchased in 1865, and the Museum was thereby enriched with an 

 admirable series of Kussian, and, in particular, of Siberian minerals, the 

 finest specimens of which are rarely offered for sale beyond the borders of 

 the Eussian Empire. The collection had served as material for the 

 valuable series of memoirs in ten volumes, published by General 

 Koksharov under the title of " Materialien zur Mineralogie Knsslands " 

 (1853-1891). His position as Director of the Mining Institute at St. 

 Petersburg afforded him exceptional opportunities for the acquisition of 

 fine specimens.
