Rousseau's 'noble savage' concept and inspired Denis Diderot to pen his denunciation of European contact with indigenous peoples." -Hill Sailing with the toile and the Boudeuse de Bougainville's expedition was the first successful attempt by the French to sail around the world. After delivering the Falklands to Spain as ordered by his government he proceeded across the Pacific to the East Indies visited Tahiti Samoa the New Hebrides the Solomon Islands etc. and returned to France three years later. The translation into English as specified on the title was by Johann Reinhold Forster who was naturalist on Cook's second voyage but there is thought to be the possibility that it was in fact done by his son George Forster. An important work "not only for its discoveries in the Pacific but also for having been organized with true scientific precision." - Borba de Moraes. London, Printed for J. Nourse ,... and T.

First English Edition. 12 engraved maps and charts on 5 folding plates including the Straits of Magellan one folding engraved plate with the 3 images of Polynesian pirogues and a canoe with the Tahitian vocabulary. 1 vols. 4to 261 x 211 cm. First English edition of the first French circumnavigation first published in Paris 1771. Bougainville's command was to first turn over the Falkland Malvinas Islands to the Spanish allies of the French. He tells the story of the discovery and occupation of the Falklands and devotes a chapter to their natural history. He was at Buenos Aires when the order came to expel the Jesuits of Paraguay which he describes in detail. He then continued through the Straits of Magellan and across the Pacific to the East Indies and thence home in a three year voyage which was France's first official circumnavigation of the word. Many Pacific Islands were visited there is a lengthy description of Tahiti including a 300 word vocabulary of words used on the island at the end of the book and although Bougainville made few important discoveries the effect of his voyage on the French was to stimulate their interest in the Pacific and inspire the later voyages of Du Fresne and La Pérouse. Bougainville after whom the tropical flower is named later fought in the American Revolution and was made a count of the Empire by Napoleon. It was translated by John Forster the Naturalist aboard the Resolution on James Cook's second voyage 1772-75. France's first official circumnavigation was commanded by Bougainville who saw the strategic advantage in commanding the route to the Pacific around Cape Horn hence his attempted colonization of the Falkland Islands in 1763 and his new charts of the Straits of Magellan. As well as bringing back news of his discoveries in the Pacific Bougainville also brought back a Tahitian Mayoa. It was the decision to return this young man to his home that prompted the French Government to mount another exploratory voyage led by de Fresne in 1771. Hill states that Johann Reinhold's son Georg also Naturalist aboard the Resolution may have been the actual translator of this work while Johann contributed the preface dedication and footnotes.

réf. elala2546London: Printed for J.Nourse and T.Davies 1772. First Edition of the English Translation of the official account of the first French circumnavigation. Bougainville was instructed by the French government to surrender possession of the Falkland Islands to Spain and then to proceed across the Pacific to the East Indies. On his voyage he visited Tahiti which he believed he was the first to discover naming it ‘Nouvelle Cythère’ unaware of Wallis’s prior exploration the Solomon Islands Tuamotu Archipelago and the New Hebrides. The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific were named after him. The narrative includes an account of the discovery and occupation of the Falkland Islands and a lengthy description of Tahiti and its inhabitants. Bougainville’s expedition stimulated great interest in France and bolstered European romantic notions of a ‘South Sea paradise’ inhabited by ‘noble savages’. Despite the attribution on the title-page the translation was probably done by Georg Forster while his father Johann Reinhold supplied the preface dedication and footnotes. Bell B423. Cox I 55.
