Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Fine cloth in a sunned DJ. lxxvii, 322 pages : illustrations, maps ; 26 cm. Summary:"The French had sailed into the Pacific since the later seventeenth century and indeed completed several circumnavigations early in the following century, but the ocean remained largely a Spanish preserve until British navigators began to cross its vast expanse in the mid-1760s. France then became concerned that the British might establish its superiority in the area, and welcomed Louis de Bougainville's proposal for a voyage of exploration, which was undertaken in 1766-9. Bougainville's first task was to hand over to Spain a colony he had established on the Falkland Islands. This done, he sailed through the still imperfectly-known Straits of Magellan and into the poorly charted Southern Pacific. He made a number of discoveries in the south-west, but was much too late to discover Tahiti, where Samuel Wallis had preceded him by less than a year. Reports on Bougainville's reception there and on life in the island were to create wide interest and controversy in Europe. He then sailed through the Samoan Islands and on to Vanuatu, as far as the edge of the Australian Great Barrier Reef, and north towards New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. He made a number of discoveries, endeavouring to complete the inadequate charts of the times, and leaving his name to a number of features, the best known of which is the island of Bougainville. He returned home by way of the Dutch East Indies and the Indian Ocean. His voyage led to further French voyages to the Pacific, for which Bougainville acted as adviser. His achievements and his influence were recognized in his promotion to rear-admiral, his election to the Institut de France, and his appointment as a senator and count by Napoleon I. The bougainvillea flower, discovered during his voyage, was so named in his honour by the expedition's naturalist. Although Bougainville published an account of his voyage in 1771, his original journal was published only in 1977; the present volume makes the latter text available for the first time in English translation."--Jacket.

hardback with dustjacket. The French entered the Pacific in the late 17th century, but the ocean remained largely a Spanish preserve until British navigators began to cross its vast expanse in the mid 1760s. France's concerns that Britain might establish its superiority in the area, meant they welcomed Louis de Bougainville's voyage of exploration undertaken in 1766-9. After handing over the colony he had established in the Falkland Islands to Spain, he sailed through the still relatively unknown Straits of Magellan into the poorly charted South Pacific. He made a number of discoveries in the south west, but was too late to discover Tahiti, where Samuel Wallis had preceded him by less than a year. Reports on Bougainville's reception there and on life in the island were to create wide interest and controversy in Europe. He then sailed to the Samoan Islands and on to Vanuatu, as far as the Great Barrier Reef, and north towards New Guinea and the Samoan Islands making a number of discoveries and all the while leaving his name to a number of features, the best known of which are the island of Bougainville and the Bougainvillea flower. He returned home by way of the Dutch East Indies and the Indian Ocean. Although Bougainville published an account of his voyage in 1771, his original journal was published only in 1977; the present volume makes the latter text available for the first time in English translation. 3.7 Centimeters X 18.5 Centimeters X 25.4 Centimeters.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume provides an English translation of "The Pacific Journal of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville". Although Bougainville published an account of his voyage in 1771, and there had been wide interest and controversy in Europe following reports of his reception in Tahiti and life on the island, the journal itself was not published until 1977. This volume is published with extensive editorial notes and a full explanatory introduction. The journals of other participants in the expedition are included. The "Pacific Journal" follows Bougainville's progress across the Pacific and northwards via the Soloman Islands and New Guinea, endeavouring to complete the inadequate charts of the time and leaving his name to a number of features, the best known of which is Bougainville Island. This is the first English translation of the journal of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. Although he published an account of his voyage in 1771, and despite wide interest and controversy in Europe following reports of his reception in Tahiti and life on the island, the journal itself was not published until 1977.
