Voyages et découvertes faites par les Russes le long des côtes de la Mer Glaciale & sur l'Ocean Oriental, tant vers le Japon que vers l'Amérique: on y a joint L'histoire du fleuve Amur et des pays adjacens, depuis la conquête des Russes
- Chez Marc Michel Rey, A Amsterdam 1766, In-12 (10,5x17cm), x (2) 388pp. et iv, 207pp. (25), 2 volumes reliés. - Edition originale française, rare et recherchée. Traduction de l'allemand par Dumas. La grande carte dépliante, placée à la fin du tome II, est manquante, et a été remplacée par une photocopie de la carte réduite proposée par la Bibliothèque Nationale de France sur son site Gallica. Elle fut dressée par le cartographe français Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) et publiée par l'abbé Prévost. Celle-ci a été repliée pour s'insérer en lieu et place de l'ancienne carte. Reliures en plein veau marbré d'époque. Dos lisse ornés. Pièce de titre et de tomaison en maroquin rouge. Un trou de ver en tête du tome I. Traces de frottements en coiffes et coins. Manque le faux-titre du second tome. Bel exemplaire. Le premier tome recense l'ensemble des voyages de découvertes effectués en Russie orientale, au Kamchatka, en Sibérie, et notamment et surtout celui de Vitus Bering qui en 1728, fut le premier à découvrir le passage du nord-ouest en laissant son nom au fameux détroit de Bering. Ce dernier effectua un voyage par la même voie jusqu'au sud de l'Alaska en 1741. L'ouvrage relate de nombreux voyages, notamment celui de Simon Dejnev autour de la péninsule Tchouke, celui de Mikhaïl Gvozdev et d'Ivan Fedorov à travers le détroit de Béring jusqu'au cap Prince-de-Galles, en Alaska, en 1732... Le second tome trait de l'histoire du fleuve Amour d'après l'ouvrage de Witfen sur la Tartarie septentrionale et orientale. Cette histoire détaille les rapports et les relations entre les Russes et les Chinois, ainsi que les interventions des Jésuites. [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]
