Als zweiter und dritter Band der Reihe 'Bibliothek der neuesten und interessantesten Reisebeschreibungen' erschienene Ausgabe der 'Voyage de la Perouse autour du monde'. La Perouse 1741-1788 französischer Geograph und Weltumsegler unternahm diese umfassende Erforschung und Kartographierung des pazifischen Raums im Auftrag der französischen Krone. Am 1. August 1785 stachen die beiden Schiffe von Brest aus in See. Die erste Station war Teneriffa. Im Januar 1786 wurde Patagonien erreicht. Über Kap Hoorn und die Osterinsel ging es nach Hawaii und weiter nach Alaska. La Pérouse der sich zu den Aufklärern zählte verzichtete als erster Europäer bewusst auf die Inbesitznahme noch unerforschter Inseln. In Alaska knüpfte er wichtige Kontakte mit Indianern bevor er die Küste Kaliforniens bereiste. Beide Expeditionsschiffe 'Astrolabe' und 'Bousolle' mit ihrer Besatzung erlitten vermutlich im Bereich der Salomonen Schiffbruch und kehrten nicht nach Frankreich zurück. - Herausgegeben und redigiert wurde das Werk von Louis Marie Antoine Destouff de Milet-Mureau 1756-1825 die deutsche Übersetzung stammt von Johann Reinhold Forster 1729-1798 und C. L. Sprengel. Der vielseitige Naturwissenschaftler und Entdecker J. R. Forster hatte wenige Jahre zuvor James Cook auf dessen zweiter Südseereise begleitet.
