Shaw & Shoemaker 789. Ferguson 333. Reese Best of the West 20. Kroepelien 1331.The rare first American edition of one of the most important Pacific voyages. 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

rif. 8786Paris: 1797. No binding. Very Good. 270 x 410 mm. in good condition. This is a view of the town of Buru in Indonesia recording the visit of the French Admiral and explorer le Comte de La Pérouse. Jean-Francois de Galoup Comte de La Perouse 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 western Pacific. In a rare moment of co-operation the British Admiralty furnished scientific equipment to measure variations in magnetic north and for determining longitude. Fortunately for us La Perouse was meticulous in sending copies of his detailed logs and surveying via other ships as well as overland. His last contact was in the spring of 1788 with a British ship in Botany Bay Australia. The expedition was never heard from again. When the French Government realised that it had been lost they decided to publish an account as in many other ways it is regarded as one the greatest French voyages of exploration. It was not until 1827 that their fate was known. Howes USIana L93; Nordenskiold Collection v. 2; Phillips 688; Sabin 38960; Shirley 'Atlases in the BL' G.LPR-1a. 1797 unknown
