First Edition of "the most accurate hydrographic survey of the east coast that had yet been made." (DCB) The author, a French naval officer, was appointed in 1750 to continue the charting of the coasts of Acadia which he had begun in 1746, for the purpose of revising the defectiveness of existing French charts of the region. The present work recounts his voyage from Brest to Louisbourg and his four expeditions to the neighbouring coasts and islands, and records his charting, with astronomical observations, of the principal points of Acadia, Isle Royale, and Newfoundland. Publication of the report was subsidized by the Ministry of Marine, who ordered two hundred copies for its own use. The work was "highly praised by the commission appointed by the French Academy of Science to examine it, and [was] recommended as a model to future navigators". (Sabin) In recognition of his services, Chabert was made a knight of the order of Saint-Louis in 1754, and two years later, was promoted lieutenant. Bell C223. Brunet I 27. Dionne II 489.
