"La Pérouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the west coast of North America . The charge to the expedition which took place between 1785 and 1788 was to examine such parts of the region as had not been explored by Captain Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries peoples and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlements in California; and to promote the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter . La Pérouse and his men did important geographical research . The voyage also included the first foreign scientific group ever to visit California. La Pérouse sent dispatches back to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay. The two ships then set sail from Botany Bay in 1788 and were never heard from again" Hill. It was not until the 1820s that the wrecks of his ships were discovered on a reef in the Santa Cruz group. When it became clear that something had happened to the expedition a decision was made to publish the journals he had transmitted home.

1815réf. 57571Milano: Dalla Tipografia Sonzogno e Comp. 1815. Italian Edition of La Pérouse in Remarkable Original Condition The first Italian edition of La Pérouse's monumental journey here in beautiful original condition and rarely encountered thus. "La Pérouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the west coast of North America.The charge to the expedition was to examine such parts of the region as had not been explored by Captain Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries peoples and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlements in California; and to promote the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter.La Pérouse and his men did important geographical research including visits to Easter Island the first on-shore visit to Hawaii by Europeans Macao Formosa the Aleutian Islands Samoa Tonga and Australia.The voyage also included the first foreign scientific group ever to visit Alta California.La Pérouse sent dispatches back to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay." - Hill. La Pérouse sent back copies of his journals throughout the journey both overland across Russia and via British ships met at Botany Bay in the spring of 1788. After he left Australia his party was never seen again and it was not until the 1820s that the wrecks of his ships were discovered on a reef in the Santa Cruz group. When it became clear that something had happened to the expedition a decision was made to publish the journals he had transmitted home. This first Italian edition printed in Milan in 1815 as the first in a series of post-Cook voyages published by Sonzogno e Compagni precedes the first Italian edition of Cook and is testament to La Pérouse's enduring popularity on the continent. Very rare in any state this copy is untrimmed and complete in original wrappers. Included are the frontispiece portrait of La Pérouse often lacking all sixteen beautiful colored plates the folding map subscriber lists in both the first and fourth volumes and laid-in publisher's circulars in volumes three and four. A beautiful copy of one of the finest narratives of maritime exploration. 12mo. Original pictorial wrappers.

1801réf. 55883Boston: Printed for Joseph Bumstead 1801. First American Edition of an Important Pacific Voyage This copy bears the bookplate on the front pastedown of James Edge Partington 1854-1930 the well-respected British anthropologist who was especially interested in Pacific island ethnology. The rare first American edition of one of the most important Pacific voyages. The La Pérouse account was first published in Paris in French in 1797 and in English in 1798. This is one of the earliest Pacific voyages to appear in an American edition and published much less modestly than the French and British editions would have been the way the average American would have learned about La Pérouse's important surveys of the Pacific coast and his descriptions of native Americans there. This is also the first American version although only a précis of Vancouver's voyage first published in London in 1798. The 1781 voyage of Spanish naval officer Francisco Antonio Mourelle incorrectly spelled in this edition's title went from the Philippines to the South Pacific where he explored in the vicinity of New Guinea and the Tonga Islands before sailing to Mexico. Howes is inaccurate in his pagination of this edition and the Hill copy contains a map that was added later. Contemporary tree calf rebacked in modern calf ruled in gilt gilt leather label. Corners and edges worn boards moderately rubbed. Bookplate on front pastedown see below. Moderate tanning scattered foxing. Good plus. HILL 976. SABIN 38966. HOWES L93. FORBES 331.
