‎First Edition, xii, 556, 12pp., portrait, ownership inscription of on upper blank margin of title, original brown blind-stamped cloth, lettered in gilt on spine, a nice copy. "In 1827 Walker joined the Society of Friends, his diaries contain extracts of his remarkable journeys with James Backhouse, visiting the convict settlements in Van Dieman's Land, South Wales (including, at that time, Moreton Bay), and Norfolk Island. His wife was a member of Lady Franklin's committee to visit the female prisoners. In 1843 he was appointed to a board of inquiry into conditions at the Female Factory, built by Lieutenant-Governor Arthur in 1827 in accord with Elizabeth Fry's recommendations. Worried over the growing number of prostitutes, he formed a committee to 'suppress vice' by finding employment for destitute women. In 1848 Lieutenant-Governor Denison asked him to share in the task of providing an asylum for these women, and noted in his journal: 'the very personification of a mild, benevolent, and excellent Quaker' A respected founder with Backhouse of the Society of Friends in Hobart, Walker was always ready to plead for any convict under punishment by solitary confinement or treadmill for refusing in Quaker custom to remove his hat in respect to authority, to explain to judges the Quaker aversion to oaths, or to reason against state aid to religion. Although unable to repeat his missionary journeys, he managed to visit Friends around the island and encouraged others to travel 'in the ministry' to help new Meetings on the mainland". - Australian Dictionary of Biography.

‎Édition originale de la relation du voyage de Bruny d'Entrecasteaux, envoyé par Louis XVI en Océanie à la recherche de La Pérouse. Sa rédaction a été confiée au capitaine de vaisseau Rossel, qui s'est appuyé sur le journal laissé par d'Entrecasteaux, emporté par le scorbut au cours du trajet. Elle est illustrée de 33 planches dépliantes dans les volumes de texte et de 39 cartes et vues dans l’atlas , réalisées pendant l'expédition et qui étaient d'un niveau exceptionnellement élevé, en particuliers les 12 magnifiques cartes de l'Australie occidentale et de la Tasmanie qui enregistraient la côte avec précision pour la première fois , la nouvelle méthode de Beautemps-Beaupré , révolutionna la cartographie . En février 1791, inquiet du sort de l'expédition commandée par La Pérouse, qui aurait dû être rentrée en France depuis plusieurs mois, Louis XVI fit envoyer deux frégates à sa recherche, symboliquement rebaptisées La Recherche et L'Espérance. Cette ambitieuse expédition quitta Brest en septembre, doubla le cap de Bonne-Espérance, visita plusieurs îles du Pacifique sud (la Tasmanie, la Nouvelle-Zélande, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, les îles Tonga, le Vanuatu, etc.) et se termina de façon chaotique à Sourabaya, un des principaux établissements hollandais situés sur l'île de Java. L'équipage y arriva diminué par la fatigue et la maladie , alors que la France avait changé de régime et était en guerre avec l’Angleterre, sans avoir trouvé la moindre trace de La Pérouse. Hormis son issue malheureuse, l'expédition fit des découvertes importantes dans le domaine de la géographie, de l'hydrographie et des sciences naturelles, et rapporta une liste de vocabulaires des peuples qu'elle rencontra (voir les pages 557-590 du premier volume). UN RÉCIT TRÈS RARE D'UN VOYAGE D'UNE IMPORTANCE ÉNORME POUR L'EXPLORATION DE L'AUSTRALIE ET DU PACIFIQUE Antoine Reymond Joseph de Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, dit le « chevalier d'Entrecasteaux » , entre dans la marine à l’age de 15 ans , combattit à Minorque , accompagna Chabert dans ses expéditions scientifique , prend le commandement de la flotte française dans l’océan indien , ouvre une nouvelle route de navigation vers la Chine , il devient gouverneur des Mascareignes jusqu’à sa nomination à la direction de l’expédition à la recherche de La Pérouse en 1791. Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré, (Neuville-au-Pont 1766, Paris 1854), est un ingénieur hydrographe et cartographe français, membre de l'Académie des sciences et du Bureau des longitudes . Il est considéré comme le père de l'hydrographie moderne . Chadenat, n°5056. , Sabin, n°22671 FIRST EDITION. D'Entrecasteaux joined the French navy in 1754 and fought in 1756 at Minorca. He assumed command of the French fleet of the East Indies and in 1787, was appointed governor of Mauritius and the Isle of Bourbon. While in command in search for La Perouse in 1791-92, he determined the position of Amsterdam Island, explored the coastlines of New Caledonia, Tasmania, and New Holland, and located several groups of islands. Many of the charts made by the expedition (particularly those of South Australia produced by Beautemp Beaupre) were of unusually high standards, and the 12 magnificent maps of Western Australia and Tasmania recorded the coast accurately for the first time. They are regarded the most significant ever made. A VERY RARE ACCOUNT OF A VOYAGE WITH TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE TO THE EXPLORATION OF AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC‎

‎Edward Foord Bromley (1776-1836), Royal Navy surgeon and Naval Officer at Hobart Town, Tasmania, putative embezzler [Sir Sidney‎

‎‘The Sicilians are not quite so well disposed towards us’: Edward Foord Bromley Royal Navy surgeon and source of Tasmanian scandal. Autograph Letter Signed to Sir Sidney Smith from HMS America at Palermo describing the unsettled state of Sicily.‎

‎‘H M Ship America Palermo. / Septr 11. 1813.’. An excellent letter describing the state of affairs in Sicily during the period of British occupation 1806-1814. The recipient Sir Sidney Smith see Oxford DNB was second in command to Sir Edward Pellew head of the Mediterranean squadron which included Bromley’s ship HMS America a 76-gun third-rater launched only three years before in 1810. The present letter is written with the ship on the verge of a notable engagement described in the European Magazine March 1814 pp.245-247 quoting from the London Gazette. From Bromley’s entry by P. R. Eldershaw in the Australian Dictionary of Biography it would appear that he was merely incompetent and that the true embezzler of the £8388 Naval Office and Treasury funds discovered in 1824 was his convict clerk Bartholomew Broughton. Bromley certainly did all he could to pay the money back. The present item is 4pp 4to on a bifolium. In good condition lightly aged with folds for postage. Signed ‘E F. Bromley’ and with valediction addressed to ‘my Dear Sir Sidney’. Begns: ‘My dear Sir: / by the return of the Thistle to the Fleet I embrace the opportunity of giving you my little Information of what is going on here: it would seem by the precautions taken that we are a little afraid. The Sicilians are not quite so well-disposed towards us as we could wish - one Hundred Men as a Picquet from each of our Regts. mount Guard every night - the Artillery Horses are constantly kept saddled. and the troops told to hold themselves in readiness to turn out at a moments warning.’ He continues: ‘Their Parliament is now sitting - and have been extremely Violent on the Subject of Quarantine at Messina. Genl. Montreson Sir Henry Tucker Montresor had given their board of Health some cause of complaint respecting his Interference this came here officially and they noted his conduct censurable and that two of their Members should be sent to England with a Complaint to the Prince Regent this was however lost in the House of Lords.’ He reports that ‘such is their dread of the Plague’ that the Sicilians would not allow the ‘Horses lately arrived from Egypt’ to land: ‘they are gone to Spain - but to obviate the difficulty arising from the want of those Horses they voted 15000 Dollars for the purchase of others in this country’. The second half of the letter covers topics including Prince Belmonte’s departure from office the king never going ‘to the city’ the throwing open of ‘all reserves respecting. Game’ that do not have ‘a wall of a certain Height around them’ the ill effects of ‘regulations. respectingg the Necessaries of Life’: ‘Fish is hardly to be procured - and yesterday not an Egg to be found in the Markett’ a report from Naples of a renewal of the armistice ‘another from Messina Via Clabria says Austria has joined the Allies and that Hostilities have recommenced’. Bromley concludes: ‘all here looking out anxiously for the expected promotion - I am much afraid I shall loose sic my good Captain the future admiral Sir Josias Rowley 1765-1842 who most probably will be Included. This loss I shall feel in no trifling degree - for I have experienced the utmost kindness from him’. After a reference to ‘Harris’ he ends with ‘respects to Captn. Smith’. ‘H M Ship America Palermo. / Septr 11. 1813.’ unknown‎

Dans 'Le Temps de la consolation' Michaël Foessel explore la consolation comme un acte social et intime qui répond à la 'souffrance de la souffrance' (solitude honte culpabilité). Il analyse les théories anciennes de la consolation puis montre que les Modernes ayant perdu les modèles communautaires rationnels et amoureux qui justifiaient l'existence doivent inventer de nouvelles ressources pour affronter la désolation. La consolation loin d'être une simple résilience redonne du sens au chagrin et permet de vivre au-delà de ce qui semble impossible‎
