17794011311Avignon and Paris: Froulle 1779. Spine label chipped but in fine condition otherwise. Octavo with an engraved frontispiece view of Tahiti; a fine copy in original speckled half calf. <p><p>First edition: the very scarce and earliest separate serious work on Tahiti predated only by the Omai-based fictions and the poetical satires on Joseph Banks; it is based for its facts on the reports of Wallis Bougainville and Cook and for its philosophy on Montesquieu and Rousseau. "Taitbout's pamphlet is of interest not for the originality of its ideas but because it reveals how notions of geographical control deriving from Montesquieu and applied by the Forsters to the islanders of the Pacific could provide a rational explanation for the soft primitivism with which Bougainville Hawkesworth Banks Diderot and others had endowed the peoples of the Society Islands and add point and fire to a revolutionary pamphlet." Bernard Smith European vision and the South Pacific 1985 p. 87.</p> <p>Tahiti was much discussed in Europe from the early 1770s and various voyage accounts were in print during that decade. The Tahitian Aotourou had travelled back to Paris with Bougainville in 1769 while Omai had reached London with Cook in 1774. "After its successive discoveries by Wallis Bougainville and Cook Tahiti came to symbolize a living social and political experiment in the minds of many European philosophers: a primitive paradise that became spoiled and tainted by Western decadence. In this little work often attributed to Bougainville - perhaps because it borrows extensively from his narrative and the earlier accounts of Cook and his accompanying naturalists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander - Taitbout speculates on the fundamental differences between the 'homme sauvage' and the 'homme civilizé' drawing from the example of Tahiti. He suggests that societies like Tahiti that evolved in isolation could offer political lessons to European nations but acknowledges that the arrival of Europeans on their shores will deal them a death blow. Taitbout's purpose in his own words translated is revolutionary: 'to assist in bringing about the much-desired general revolution to which the human spirit will one day owe the free complete and perfect union of all men'." online resource at princeton.edu.</p> <p>Barbier notes that the book - published anonymously but now attributed to Taitbout - was in the past sometimes attributed to Bougainville. A German translation appeared in 1783.</p> <p>This copy has an additional work bound at the end P.A.

17706000062A Londra 1770. Octavo xvi 104 pp.; completely uncut in original soft boards very worn but in original unsophisicated condition. <p><p>Extremely rare Italian translation of Bricaire de la Dixmerie's fictional letter purporting to be written by the Tahitian Aoutourou to his friends in France. Aoutourou had sailed to France in 1769 with Bougainville where he became a sensation in much the same way that Omai would become a lion of British society a few years later: not only was Bricaire de la Dixmerie's book the first full publication on Tahiti ever published but its subject and supposed author Aoutourou was still living in Paris as it came off the presses. </p> <p>Bricaire de la Dixmerie 1731-1791 published on everything from his friend Voltaire to life in Spain but took a particular interest in fantastic travel. Well-connected and well-regarded he was also a member of the famous Les Neufs Sœurs the Masonic Lodge where he would have met everyone from Benjamin Franklin to John Paul Jones. His description of Tahiti is known to have been based on the Lettre de M. Commerson an almost hallucinogenic account of the South Seas written by Bougainville's botanist Philibert Commerson which had been published in the journal La Mercure in February 1769 more than two years before the official account finally appeared. However the most important aspect of the present work was that Bricaire de la Dixmerie was one of the real Aoutourou's friends in Paris so there is a core of realism no matter the elaborate fiction of the letter format and it is hard not to wonder whether any of the numerous asides are based on personal observation. </p> <p>The original French edition is known to be very rare this translation of the same year even more so. Rolf Du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue noted he had been able to locate only two copies of the work and no reference to it in any other bibliography or catalogue.</p> </p> . Provenance: early owner's inscription "Girolamo Gherardini" on title. unknown
