Statistical information about some towns of the north in Russian geographical dictionaries of the late XVIII-XIX centuries

The paper provides statistical information from the Geographical dictionaries (lexicons) of the Russian Empire about provincial towns: Arkhangelsk and Vologda; Uyezds: Mezen, Solvychegodsk, Ustsysolsk and Yarensk. The choice of Uyezd towns is explained by the fact that these territories were partially or completely included in the territory of the Komi autonomy in the XX century.
