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. <p><p>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".</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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'.</p> </p> .

Rousseau's 'noble savage' concept and inspired Denis Diderot to pen his denunciation of European contact with indigenous peoples." -Hill Sailing with the toile and the Boudeuse de Bougainville's expedition was the first successful attempt by the French to sail around the world. After delivering the Falklands to Spain as ordered by his government he proceeded across the Pacific to the East Indies visited Tahiti Samoa the New Hebrides the Solomon Islands etc. and returned to France three years later. The translation into English as specified on the title was by Johann Reinhold Forster who was naturalist on Cook's second voyage but there is thought to be the possibility that it was in fact done by his son George Forster.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.

elala2546<p>London: 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’. Despite the attribution on the title-page the translation was probably done by Georg Forster while his father Johann Reinhold supplied the preface dedication and footnotes. Bell B423. Cox I 55.
