BOUGAINVILLE, Louis Antoine deBiblio.com

Voyage autour du Monde par la frégate du roi La Boudeuse. Nouvelle édition augmentée.

17734504180Neuchâtel: Société Thypographique sic 1773. In fine original condition. Two volumes in one small octavo; a fine copy in an attractive contemporary binding of marbled calf sides bordered in gilt the flat spine ornately gilt with a repeating drawer-handle design. A most attractive copy of the Neuchâtel version of the official account of the Bougainville voyage based on the first French edition of 1771. This was the first official French circumnavigation and in many ways the most consequential of all the many French voyages into the Pacific commemorated on today's maps by a multitude of geographical names. Bougainville's description of his travels in the Pacific created enormous interest in France and was largely responsible for building up the romantic vision of a South Sea paradise where Rousseau's noble savage lived in a state of blissful innocence. Bougainville's expedition passed through the Straits of Magellan in January 1768. After some time looking for the mythical "Davis Land" said to be off the Chilean coast they started on a direct route across the Pacific. They discovered the Tuamotus sighted Tahiti in April then visited Samoa sailed through Melanesia sighted the Great Barrier Reef and passed through the Solomons and New Britain to Batavia. Bougainville not knowing of Wallis's stop there a year earlier thought that he had discovered Tahiti and his lengthy account of the island group is an interesting counterpart to Wallis's account. The vocabulary of 300 words that he prints is the first such vocabulary to appear of any Polynesian language. Unillustrated this edition is in a much smaller format than the first edition; the addition referred to in the title is a new 22-page dictionary of nautical terms. This version proved popular and was reprinted several times at Neuchâtel. It is quite scarce today: there is no copy in the catalogue of the Hill Collection. . Société Thypographique [sic] unknown

A Voyage round the World.In the years 1776 1767 1768 and 1769.Translated from the French by John Reinhold Forster.

1772305731London: Printed for J. Nourse.and T. Davies. 1772. 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. Contemporary brown calf neatly rebacked with corners renewed.Clean copyWith bookplate of Frank Streeter. 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.

A Voyage round the World. Performed by Order of His most Christian Majesty in the Years 1766 1767 1768 and 1769. in the Frigate La Boudeuse and the store-ship L'Etoile

17725001027London: Printed for J. Nourse and T. Davies 1772. Quarto with five folding maps and a folding plate of canoes; an excellent copy in a pale polished calf binding by Aquarius spine gilt. The first English edition of the first French circumnavigation the great French voyage of the Cook period in many ways responsible for the pervasive notions of tropical paradise and the noble savage. This English version was translated by Johann Reinhold Forster and has an introduction by him according to the preface although the translation at least is now thought to have been the work of Forster's son Georg. Forster senior calls the voyage "a work written by a learned intelligent and judicious traveller which abounds with remarkable events and curious observations." and says that he has edited "and partially vindicated the British nation where we thought the author had been unjustly partial". The publication of Bougainville's narrative did a great deal to build the notion of a romantic paradise in the South Seas. Bougainville showed the influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in naming Tahiti "Nouvelle Cythère" after Kythera the small island off the coast of southern Greece which in Greek mythology provided a sanctuary for Aphrodite goddess of love. The reality was less sublime: he took Aoutourou back with him from Tahiti to Paris giving him lessons in French for the remainder of the voyage but the uprooted Tahitian just didn't get it: Forster with typical arrogance dismissed him as "stupid". He was allowed to go home on a subsequent voyage but died of smallpox on the way another tragic minor player in the history of discovery and colonisation. Bougainville headed into the Pacific discovering the Tuamotos before in April sighting and claiming possession of Tahiti unaware of Wallis's visit less than a year before. He continued on finally reaching the New Hebrides and 'La Austrialia del Espíritu Santo' discovered by Quirós in 1606 and believed to be part of the supposed Southern Continent. The only way to determine this Bougainville resolved was to head further to the west in the hope of sighting the eastern coast of New Holland. 'This he did only to be impeded by the Great Barrier Reef and although several of his crew claimed to have sighted land this was not confirmed and the ships were headed to the N. Nevertheless Bougainville concluded that he was close to some extensive land and in running westwards from Espíritu Santo he had dared to face the risk of the legendary lee-shore of New Holland and New Guinea even though prudence shortage of food and the condition of his vessels would have justified his heading northwards at an earlier date' Colin Jack-Hinton The Search for the Islands of Solomon p. 256; G. A. Wood The Discovery of Australia pp. 369-79 observes that had Bougainville persevered 'he would have come to the Australian coast near Cooktown and would likely enough have been wrecked where Cook was wrecked two years later'. .

Voyage Autour du Monde

1771166666Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1771. A wealth of scientific and geographical detail about the Pacific Ocean First edition of this account of the first French circumnavigation. Bougainville travelled to the Falkland Islands in 1766 to formally deliver the French settlement to Spain continuing into the Pacific and around the world. The clandestine passenger Jeanne Baret disguised as a man became the first woman on record to have circumnavigated the globe. Louis Antoine de Bougainville 1729-1811 studied law but abandoned it to join the army as a musketeer in 1753 serving in the Seven Years War. He was later appointed commander of the frigate La Boudeuse and the transport L'Étoile setting sail in December 1766. He entered the Pacific in 1768 and landed on Tahiti claiming it for France unaware of the visit of Samuel Wallis nine months earlier. On Tahiti it was discovered that the botanist's valet was a woman Jeanne Baret who enlisted as Jean Baret. The ships continued due west through Samoa and the New Hebrides eventually making the first recorded European sighting of the Great Barrier Reef. Turning north 100 miles from the coast of Queensland he passed through New Guinea to the Solomon Islands proceeding thence to the Moluccas where the Dutch allowed him to refit. Bougainville carried on to Djakarta and Mauritius and then home to St Malo. He was in Buenos Aires when the order of the expulsion of the Jesuits of Paraguay arrived which he describes in detail. Bougainville's name is given to the largest member of the Solomon Islands and to the strait which divides it from the British Island of Choiseul. It is also applied to the strait between Mallicollo and Espiritu Santo Islands of the New Hebrides group as well as to the South American climbing plant Bougainvillea. The book is notable for the influential description of Tahiti which Bougainville christened New Cythera after the abode of Aphrodite. "It is difficult to overstate the importance of the discovery of Tahiti on the European imagination of the context of utopian projections seemingly becoming real. Tahiti rapidly permeated European mythology" Arthur p. 82. His description of Tahiti and other South Sea islands also includes a 300-word vocabulary. Bougainville's account of the Tahitians followed the lead of thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau who was "popularizing the idea of the natural man in Europe. Denis Diderot inspired by Bougainville drew upon Rousseu's ideal of a natural state of humanity in his Supplement au voyage de Bougainville a work that can be understood as a commentary on colonialism" ibid. p. 82. Quarto 250 x 185 mm. With 3 engraved plates of boats 20 maps and charts most of them folding woodcut head- and tailpieces and historiated capitals. Contemporary French cat's paw calf tan morocco label spine gilt in compartments triple-ruled gilt panel to boards marbled endpapers and edges. 18th- or early 19th-century stamp of the Bibliothèque de Montmirail to title and last page. Skilful restoration to spine ends front joint and fore edge of rear board 100 mm closed tear to one fold of world map facing p. 18 loss to bottom corner of sig. Xxii not affecting text small nick to head of inner hinges of two gatherings. An excellent copy. Hill 163; Howgego I B142; Sabin 6864; Speake I p. 122-3.
