The first octavo edition of La Perouse's voyage one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the northwest American coast and the first scientific voyage to California. It is accompanied by the atlas volume published the previous year 1797. Jean-Francois de Galoup Comte de La Pérouse 1741-88 led a French scientific expedition to the Pacific in 1785-88. He was one of the most noted naval commanders and navigators in France and was selected by King Louis XVI to complete Captain James Cook's exploration of the Pacific especially regarding a possible north-west passage. In a rare moment of co-operation the British Admiralty furnished scientific equipment to measure variations in magnetic north and for determining longitude. The two corvettes called 'La Boussole' and 'L'Astrolabe' left Brest on 1 August 1785. Rounding Cape Horn they undertook repairs in Chile before heading to the Sandwich Islands Hawaii and Alaska. From here he turned south exploring the west coast of North America into California refitting again at Monterey. They then headed across the Pacific Ocean on 23 September 1786 reaching Macao on 1 January 1787. He then travelled to Manilla Taiwan and north along the Asian coastline towards Korea Japan and Kamchatka. There he received orders from Paris to head for Australia. De Lesseps was sent back to Paris with various reports and charts to date. He arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788 and had good relations with the English First Fleet settlers who had only just arrived. They remained there for six weeks and left on 10 March never to be seen again. Fortunately for us La Perouse was meticulous in sending copies of his detailed logs and surveying via other ships as well as overland. When the French Government realised that it had been lost they decided to publish this account as in many other ways it is regarded as one the greatest French voyages of exploration. Despite attempts to discover its fate it was not until 1827 that the vessels were discovered shipwrecked on the island of Vanikoro one of the remote Santa Cruz Islands. The exact fate of the survivors has been the source of considerable speculation ever since. The largest contribution the expedition made was to the knowledge of the Asiatic coast of the Pacific. Especially the waters in and around Japan. The atlas includes superb charts of this and the west coast of North America including charts of San Francisco Bay Monterey Bay and San Diego. Also the first chart of Samoa. There are several views including the first of Maui in the Sandwich Islands. They are complimented by a series of botanical and ornithological engravings including the California quail. Provenance: Libraria de Antanao 2002; Juan and Peggy Rada Collection.

The first edition of one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the northwest American coast and the first scientific voyage to California. 'The voyage round the world under the command of La Pérouse was intended as the French equivalent of Captain Cook's Third Voyage and was enthusiastically endorsed by the Academy of Sciences and particularly by Louis XVI. The most significant results of the voyage are the charts of the then imperfectly known Asiatic coast of the Pacific' Forbes. La Pérouse was the first explorer to navigate and chart the Japan sea and the strait between the island of Sakhalin and the northernmost island of Japan which bears his name. At Kamchatka he received instructions to proceed to Australia to assess the extent of British plans. He arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 just hours after Governor Phillip had arrived with the First Fleet. La Pérouse's habit of forwarding copies of journals and drawings when opportunity offered ensured their survival for as is well known the accomplishments of the voyage have been overshadowed by the disappearance of the entire expedition. The folio atlas contains magnificent maps of Russian Asia Japan the Pacific North-West Coast Hawaii San Francisco and Monterey; the views include a fine series of botanical and ornithological plates including the California quail. Of particular interest to Hawaii is the plate that depicts French ships off Makena Maui. It is the first fully developed view of that island.

His aim was to explore the Pacific regions of North and South America Asia and Australasia. The sponsor of the expedition was the French king Louis XVI who was inspired by Captain James Cook's Pacific voyages. Louis ordered the French expedition to show the world that France could also dominate in ocean exploration. The expedition consisted of two ships - La Boussole and L'Astrolabe. They carried a total of 225 crew officers and scientists. The ships left France in August 1785 and sailed south around Cape Horn. The voyage was expected to last four years. During the voyage La Perouse sent back regular reports to France. The expedition mapped coastlines and explored uncharted areas of ocean. The expedition's scientists also spent time onshore at various ports observing the habits and customs of local people and collecting natural history specimens. The expedition's progess until September 1787 was published by the French government as Voyage de La Perouse autour du monde La Perouse's voyage around the world. It was reprinted many times and translated into several languages. In 1791 when La Perouse had not returned to France or made any contact by dispatch the French government sent out a search party. It was commanded by Rear Admiral Joseph Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux and consisted of two ships Recherche and Esperance. The complete disappearance of La Perouse caught the imagination of the European public. Songs stories and plays were written about the possible fate of the expedition including a popular play called Perouse or The desolate island. It was not until 1964 that the wreck of La Boussole was finally discovered on Vanikoro's reefs. At last the fate of La Perouse and his crew was known. The expedition is commemorated in the name of a Sydney suburb on the shores of Botany Bay - La Perouse." State Library of New South Wales Website.Sabin 38960. unknown

The La Perouse 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 Perouse's important surveys of the Pacific coast and his descriptions of native Americans there. This is also the first American version although only a precis 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. unknown
