Об авторе: «К моменту февральской революции я занимал должность помощника военного прокурора Кавказского военно-окружного суда... Я не был политиком, но не переносил Союза русского народа. Падение монархии приветствовал. В 1917 году в г. Эрзеруме, занимая довольно приличный пост, работал в самом тесном содружестве с Советом солдатских и рабочих депутатов. Меньшевики, эсэры, большевики постоянно навещали меня, зная, что я хотя и внепартийный, но искренно предан делу революции». В 1918-м Калинину удалось перебраться в занятый Добровольческой армией Екатеринодар, откуда в конце сентября 1918 г. он выехал на Дон. «Здесь тоже мобилизовали всех офицеров. Мне ничего другого не оставалось, как поступить на службу в только что сорганизованный Донской военно-окружной суд». Будучи профессиональным военным юристом Калинин в дальнейшем состоял прокурором при временном Донском военном суде.
По возвращении из эмиграции полковник Калинин, как и многие другие репатрианты, пытался избавиться от клейма «бывшего белогвардейца». 5 октября 1937 г. И. М. Калинин, в то время преподаватель рабочего факультета Ленинградского автодорожного института, был арестован по решению Комиссии НКВД и Прокуратуры СССР . 2 ноября 1937 г. он был приговорен по ст. 58-6-8-11 УК РСФСР к высшей мере наказания и расстрелян в Ленинграде 10 ноября 1937 года.

Edition 1st edition, 2nd printing, edition of 1699 considered by most a re-issue of the 1697 edition. Description in Auction Sale Van Gendt, 1977, no. 1108: "The first, which has exactly the same collation was published by Gallet in 1697. It seems possible that the 1699 edition is, in fact, of the same issue, and that only the first quires of both volumes, which include the title pages were replaced by new ones with the new date, to make the book look more up to date. - The edition of 1702, also published by Gallet has "seconde édition", which, we think, sustains our theory."
