179823577London: John Stockdale 1798. First Stockdale edition. Hardcover. Recently expertly rebacked retaining all original materials some toning to text and plates but a very good copy. 2 volumes contemporary full tan calf by H. Faulkner; 20 cxc 290; viii 442 119 pp 51 engraved plates in the 2 volumes including 3 folding maps in first volume. Printed label at upper corner of verso of front free endpaper: "Bound by H. Faulkner George Court Adelphi." The British Book Trade Directory finds a Henry Faulkner Sr. succeded by Henry Faulkner Jr. at a George Court Adelphi from 1790 to 1825. <br/><br/>Originally published in French in 1797 this is one of two English-language translations published in 1798. This edition preceded earlier in the year by the Johnson edition which had only 41 plates. "The narrative of the enterprising but ill-fated Pérouse is full of interest in all portions but his relations of the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the northwest coast of North America are especially valuable. The mysterious fate of this distinguished navigator has never been satisfactorily cleared up. The above account was transmitted from Botany Bay after leaving this place the expedition was never heard of again" Sabin. In fact recent investigations into the fate of La Perouse have determined that both ships in the expedition were wrecked on the reefs of Vanikoro in the Solomon Islands. Cox I p. 67; Hill 974 observing that "The preface to the Stockdale edition leads one to suppose that the Johnson edition was published slightly earlier; Sabin 38964. John Stockdale hardcover

"There are three separate translations into English from the original French of which two this one published by Johnson and another one published by Stockdale appeared in the same year 1798. Johnson's was issued slightly earlier. Both of these 1798 editions are abridged. In both first English printings the number of maps were reduced "Stockdale's edition reproduced only fifty-one of the original plates and Johnson's edition only forty-two" Hill. La Perouse sailed to the Pacific and the west coast of North America to examine regions not explored by Cook; to seek the famous Northwest Passage; to obtain information about the fur trade and the Spanish settlements in California; to make scientific observations; and to promote French enterprise in the region. He made valuable contributions to the history of geographical discovery particularly in regard to the American coast. He sent his dispatches from Kamchatka and Botany Bay. After leaving Botany Bay his expedition disappeared and his ships' wrecks were not discovered for another 39 years on one of the Santa Cruz Islands.
