First edition of this important work. Bougainville first undertook an expedition to the Falkland Islands and Patagonia at his own expense to secure them for French colonization. To avoid possible conflict due to Spain's envy of this acquisition France gave up the territory to her. The narrative of that expedition was related in THE HISTORY OF A VOYAGE TO THE MALOUINE ISLANDS. Paris 1770. After delivering the Falklands to Spain Bougainville was ordered across the Pacific to the East Indies and then home. The completion of the three-year voyage marked the first official French circumnavigation and inspired much French interest in the Pacific islands. The party collected abundant natural history information concerning the regions visited; a chapter on the Falklands gives the history of their settlement as well. The expedition stopped at many South Sea islands among them Tahiti and included is a long section on that island as well as a vocabulary of the natives. Bougainville was in Buenos Aires when the order arrived for the expulsion of the Jesuits from Paraguay which he describes in detail. An extraordinary capstone to this remarkable voyage was that Bougainville lost only seven out of two hundred men. "Bougainville also touched at the Moluccas Batavia and Mauritius before he arrived once again in France in 1769. Although Bougainville made only a few important discoveries he created a great deal of interest among the French in the Pacific which resulted in the voyages of Marc-Joseph Marion de Fresne and Jean FranÃƒÂ§ois de La PÃƒÂ©rouse. The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific bear his name and the tropical flowering vine called bougainvillea was also named for him. Bougainville later took part in the American Revolution survived the French Revolution and was made a senator and count of the Empire by Napoleon I. Bougainville's accounts of Pacific Islanders in this work echoed Jean Jacques Rousseau's concepts of the 'noble savage' and inspired Denis Diderot to write his denunciation of European contact with indigenous peoples" - Hill. This copy belonged to Admiral later Duc Denis DecrÃƒÂ¨s Napoleon's Minister for the Navy and the Colonies from 1801 to 1814 with his bookplate on the front pastedown. DecrÃƒÂ¨s was the Minister directly responsible for Nicholas Baudin's voyage to Australia. Therefore there could have been much instructive value in the present volume for DecrÃƒÂ¨s who perhaps used Bougainville's experiences with regard to Baudin to assist in the various enquiries into voyage events many of them relating to Baudin's unfortunate command. A highly distinguished French naval provenance for one of the country's legendary travel narratives. HILL 163. SABIN 6864. O'REILLY & REITMAN 283. BORBA DE MORAES p.115. DU RIETZ 117. COX I p.55.

Bougainville Requests Support for an Officer Destined to Serve in the Falkland Islands and Aboard Bougainvilleâ€™s Historic Circumnavigation of the World

21527BOUGAINVILLE LOUIS-ANTOINE. 1729-1811. French navigator who led the first French voyage around the world in 1766-1769 making significant geographical observations; the South American climbing plant Bougainvillea is named in his honor. ADS. "De Bougainville". Â½p. Tall 4to. Versailles September 5 1764. To the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Ã‰TIENNE FRANÃ‡OIS DUC DE CHOISEUL 1719-1785. In French with translation."MemorandumMr de Bougainville begs Monseigneur the Duke de Choiseul to be good enough to grant Sir de Romainville an appointment of infantry lieutenant. This young man embarks with him and must be employed in the colony both for detachments and for the reconnaissance of the island. He's already participated to the campaigns of 1759 and 1760 and 1761 as volunteer in the chasseurs of Conflans and that of 1762 as aide-de-camp of Mr. Dennery chief of the CondÃ© army general staff."A French army officer who worked in London's French embassy Bougainville served as General Montcalm's aide in Canada during the French and Indian War â€“ the American theater of the Seven Years War that pitted Britain Prussia Portugal against France Spain Russia and the Holy Roman Empire. Unable to prevent the British from capturing Quebec and Montreal Bougainville lost his military commission upon the French surrender. For the remainder of the war from 1761-1763 he was instrumental in negotiating the Treaty of Paris by France and Spain ceded vast amounts of overseas holdings to Great Britain including much of their North American territories. Beginning in 1755 and with renewed vigor in 1758 the British expelled or deported Acadians French settlers of New Brunswick Nova Scotia the Magdalen Islands Prince Edward Island and parts of modern Maine. Following the Treaty of Paris many Acadians relocated to Louisiana which had been transferred from France to Spain at the end of the war. However Bougainville initiated and personally funded a plan to settle the displaced Acadians on the Isles Malouines or Falkland Islands. Located off the coast of Chile the Falkland Islands first appeared on the maps of European explorers in the 16th century but remained uninhabited despite territorial claims of both Britain and Spain. With two ships Bougainville departed from France in September 1763 and arrived in the Falkland Islands in January 1764 establishing a naval base at Port Louis. Upon their return to France King Louis XV ratified French possession of the islands on September 12 1764 seven days after our letter. However French claim to the island was contested and in 1766 Bougainville's colony was transferred to the Spanish who agreed to compensation. Thereafter Britain and Spain clashed over their claims to the Falkland Islands. Currently a British overseas territory the islands are still the object of contention having been fought over between Great Britain and Argentina in 1982. After officially releasing the Falkland Islands to the Spanish in December 1766 Bougainville embarked upon a round-the-world voyage continuing to Buenos Aires the Tuamotu Archipelago and Tahiti before venturing across the Pacific. By the following September his ship La Boudeuse had reached Batavia now Jakarta and on February 16 1769 after nearly two-and-a-half years on the high seas she returned with the loss of only seven crew members to the northwestern French port of St.-Malo. Bougainville's lively account of his travels appeared in 1771. A participant in the American Revolution Bougainville was also a notable mathematician and the first to calculate longitude by means of astronomical observations. The flowering vine Bougainvillea is named in his honor.A French noble and army officer Choiseul earned the patronage of Madame de Pompadour after he obtained for her letters written by King Louis XV to another mistress. She helped establish Choiseul's diplomatic career during which he helped author the Second Treaty of Versailles. He was French minister of foreign affairs during the Seven Years War after which he dedicated himself to rebuilding the military and French power abroad. He served as foreign minister from 1766-1770. Our letter asks for the promotion to lieutenant of Charles Routier de Romainville1739-1808 and mentions his recent military service under Louis Joseph Prince de CondÃ© 1736-1818 in the 1762 Battle of Nauheim during which CondÃ©'s French troops defeated Hanoverian and British troops. Romainville received his appointment to the rank of lieutenant in November 1764 and joined Bougainville on his expedition to the Falklands remaining there to implement their plans for the new colony until he joined Bougainville on his round-the-world voyage and in so doing made his name as an engineer and cartographer. He later went on to help establish a French colony on the Seychelles.

Varying degrees of foxing to atlas plates. Very good. First edition of the official record of Bougainville's voyage around the world. Hyacinthe de Bougainville son of Louis de Bougainville sailed as an ensign at the age of eighteen on the Baudin voyage. His own expedition of 1826 has continued to be overshadowed by such circumnavigators as Dumont d'Urville. After distinguished service in the Napoleonic Wars Bougainville was promoted to post-captain and given command of the ThÃƒÂ©tis. She was only the second French frigate to be commissioned for a circumnavigation the first having been his father's vessel the Boudeuse. The voyage took twenty-eight months visiting Pondicherry Manila Macao Surabaya Sydney a stay of almost three months Valparaiso and Rio among other places. Bougainville returned to France with a fine collection of natural history specimens and the official account of the voyage was handsomely published after a delay of some eleven years. The major purpose of the expedition was political and strategic and Bougainville's first report of 1826 gave the French government a survey of colonial possessions in Asia and of the military strength of Manila as well as accounts of Singapore the Australian colonies and Spanish America. He spent several months in and around Sydney where he collected considerable ornithological material. This ultimately resulted in three drawings by Bessa of four species of birds including superb illustrations of the male and female Gang-gang or red-crested parrot. From here both ships crossed to Valparaiso where la Touanne commenced his overland journey to rejoin the expedition at Rio. The account of this journey takes up much of the second volume together with RenÃƒÂ© PrimevÃƒÂ¨re Lesson's account of the natural history. Bougainville's advice was taken into account in the development of French strategy and diplomacy in the Pacific during the 19th century. The rare atlas volume includes thirty-four lithographed views and portraits after Adam Sabatier and others from sketches by de la Touanne printed by Bernard & Frey; twelve handcolored engraved natural history plates after Bessa and Pretre by Coutant Legrand Oudet Dumenil and Massard; an excellent double-page handcolored aquatint of various native vessels; a folding engraved world map; two double-page coastal profiles and six double-page engraved maps and charts by Tardieu after de la Touanne.

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'. .

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.

elala2546London: Printed for J.Nourse and T.Davies 1772. First Edition of the English Translation of the official account of the first French circumnavigation. Bougainville was instructed by the French government to surrender possession of the Falkland Islands to Spain and then to proceed across the Pacific to the East Indies. On his voyage he visited Tahiti which he believed he was the first to discover naming it ‘Nouvelle Cythère’ unaware of Wallis’s prior exploration the Solomon Islands Tuamotu Archipelago and the New Hebrides. The largest island in the Solomons and two straits in the Pacific were named after him. The narrative includes an account of the discovery and occupation of the Falkland Islands and a lengthy description of Tahiti and its inhabitants. Bougainville’s expedition stimulated great interest in France and bolstered European romantic notions of a ‘South Sea paradise’ inhabited by ‘noble savages’.
