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.
