metadata.value: The article based on the material of “Vedomosti” of the era of Peter I, “St. Petersburg Vedomosti”
  and “Moscow Vedomosti” of the 18th–19th centuries traces the formation of the use of the
  letter Ѣ. The established usage is compared with the recommendations of grammatical works
  of the 18th–19th centuries. The specificity of this norm is that the use of Ѣ was determined not
  only by the Church Slavonic spelling tradition and artificial rules for differentiating homonyms,
  but also by some special patterns of oral and bookish pronunciation. The letter in Peter’s “Vedomosti” occurs very consistently in accordance with the ancient tradition in numbers of
  both church and civil type, though older and contemporary grammatical works do not offer
  any list of words with Ѣ, nor a list of rules governing the spelling of this letter. “Vedomosti”,
  “St. Petersburg Vedomosti” and “Moscow Vedomosti” demonstrate great stability in the use
  of Ѣ, primarily at the end of adverbs, function words, comparative and superlative degrees of
  adjectives, as well as in the prefix нѣ of indefinite pronouns and adverbs. The slight variability
  observed in the spelling of inflections disappears by the 20s of the 18th century. The least
  regular use of Ѣ reveals itself in the roots of words, but even here its use in newspapers is more
  regular than in the Ѣ lists provided by grammars. A century before the appearance of the first
  list of its kind in the Academic Grammar of 1802 in Peter’s “Vedomosti”, the main corpus of
  words systematically written with Ѣ in the root was formed, subsequently recorded in full only
  in the “Russian Spelling” by Ya.K. Grot in 1885. The variation of root vowels in newspapers
  found mainly in foreign words ceased long before the codification of these words in grammars
  and dictionaries.
