Talk:Odessa

Removal of reference to "Circassia: Or, A Tour to the Caucasus"

I removed the reference to "1850, George Leighton Ditson, Circassian: A Tour to the Caucasus, New York: Stringer & Townsend, →OCLC, p 308". Whilst the spelling 'Odesa' appears on p. 308 in the 1850 edition printed in Boston, the same work has the spelling 'Odessa' appearing on 20 pages whilst 'Odesa' appears only once. Moreover, the 1850 edition printed in New York p. 273 the spelling used is "exported within nine months from Odessa" (in addition to various other mentions of 'Odessa' in the same book). The text was also printed in The United States Magazine and Democratic Review, Volume 26 p. 171, "exported within nine months from Odessa". Presumably the usage of 'Odesa' on p. 308 in the Boston-printed edition was a typo rather than a stylistic choice on purpose. Soman (talk) 13:43, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
