Descripción del artículo del vendedor

2 volumes, contemporary full tan calf by H. Faulkner; [20], cxc, 290; viii, 442, 119 pp, 51 engraved plates in the 2 volumes, including 3 folding maps in first volume.

The mysterious fate of this distinguished navigator has never been satisfactorily cleared up. The above account was transmitted from Botany Bay, after leaving this place the expedition was never heard of again" (Sabin). In fact, recent investigations into the fate of La Perouse have determined that both ships in the expedition were wrecked on the reefs of Vanikoro in the Solomon Islands. Cox I, p. 67; Hill 974 (observing that "The preface to the Stockdale edition leads one to suppose that the Johnson edition was published slightly earlier); Sabin 38964. Recently expertly rebacked retaining all original materials, some toning to text and plates but a very good copy.…
