John Kenneth Galbraith 1908 – 2006 was a Canadian and later American economist public official and diplomat and a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 2000s during which time Galbraith fulfilled the role of public intellectual. In macro-economical terms he was a Keynesian and an institutionalist. Galbraith was a long-time Harvard faculty member and stayed with Harvard University for half a century as a professor of economics. He was a prolific author and wrote four dozen books including several novels and published more than a thousand articles and essays on various subjects. Among his most famous works was a popular trilogy on economics American Capitalism 1952 The Affluent Society 1958 and The New Industrial State 1967. Galbraith was active in Democratic Party politics serving in the administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt Harry S. Truman John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He served as United States Ambassador to India under the Kennedy administration. His prodigious literary output and outspokenness made him arguably "the best-known economist in the world" during his lifetime. Galbraith was one of few recipients both of the Medal of Freedom 1946 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom 2000 for his public service and contribution to science. The government of France made him a Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur. Paragon House: Tesoro Books, paperback‎

‎Journal d'une expédition entreprise dans le but d'explorer le cours et l'embouchure du Niger, ou relation d'un voyage sur cette rivière depuis Yaourie jusqu'à son embouchure‎

‎Paulin | Paris 1832 | 13.2 x 21 cm | 3 volumes reliés‎

‎Édition originale de la traduction française illustrée de 2 cartes, dont une dépliante, de figures in texte ainsi que de 5 planches hors-texte gravées sur acier par Fauchery (cf Chadenat 2669. Borba de Moraes ne cite pas le très bref passage consacré à l'étape de Rio (voir tome III, p. 381), plutôt insignifiant en vérité.) Quelques rousseurs. Reliures en demi basane aubergine, dos lisses décolorés ornés d'arabesques romantiques dorées, quelques frottements sur les coiffes, plats de papier marbré, gardes et contreplats de papier à la cuve, ex-libris armoriés encollés sur les contreplats, tranches mouchetées, reliures romantiques de l'époque. * Le voyageur anglais Richard Lander [1804-1834], typographe de formation, accompagna le capitaine Clapperton en Afrique lors de son dernier voyage. Revenu en Angleterre en 1828, Lander "y publia le récit du capitaine ainsi que son propre journal (1829). Il s'offrit au gouvernement anglais pour continuer les explorations relatives au cours du Niger. Son offre fut acceptée, et, conjointement avec son frère John, il partit de Plymouth le 9 janvier 1830, sur le brick Alerte, et le 22 février suivant il débarqua à Const-Castle, l'un des principaux établissements anglais en Guinée. Après un séjour de trois semaines, les voyageurs se dirigèrent sur Badagry, où ils atterrirent le 22 mars. Ils y furent assez mal reçus par le roi Adouly, et, dit Lander, 'si nous eussions trouvé parmi les Badagryotes un seul brave homme, nous aurions pris plaisir à proclamer ce fait ; mais il n'en fut pas ainsi : ils exercèrent sur nous sans scrupules leurs mauvais penchants. Les Badagryotes, quoique mahométans, font encore des sacrifices humains aux démons'. Les frères Lander se hâtèrent de quitter de si mauvais hôtes, et le 17 juin ils arrivèrent à Boussa, où ils visitèrent l'endroit où Mungo-Park et ses compagnons avaient trouvé la mort, en 1809 ; mais ils ne purent recueillir aucun détail sur la catastrophe qui termina la vie de ce courageux voyageur. Ils s'embarquèrent ensuite sur le Niger (Quorra dans le langage indigène), passèrent devant les villes de Congi, d'Inguazilligie, devant l'île de Pastastrie, et le 18 octobre ils descnedirent à Rabba, capitale du roi des Eaux-Noires, qui les reçut cordialement. Ils visitèrent ensuite Damuggou, Eboe, et le 18 novembre ils entrèrent dans la principale branche de Quorra, appelée la rivière Nun, et montèrent à bord d'un brick anglais, qui les conduisit à Fernando-Po (1er décembre). Le 20 janvier 1831 ils reprirent la mer sur le Caernarvon, mouillèrent à Rio-Janeiro, et le 9 juin jetèrent l'ancre à Portsmouth". Lors de ce voyage, les frères Lander purent constater que le Niger se jette dans la baie de Benin par plusieurs bras. Richard Lander mourut lors d'une deuxième expédition sur le Niger, en 1833-1834. Son frère lui survécut jusqu'en 1839. Cf. Hoefer. - Photographies et détails sur www.Edition-Originale.com -‎
