Gymnastics for Young Ladies, Adapted to Their Various Ages, for Public and Domestic Education. Adopted as a guide in the Saint Petersburg institutes under the Department of the Institutions of Empress Maria.

The author, a doctor of medicine and surgery, described exercises intended specifically for women. The doctor held that it would be wrong for women's gymnastics to consist "of a repetition of the exercises intended for the male sex, with the difference that certain exercises that are inconvenient, indecorous or too fatiguing for young ladies have been struck out of their number".
