in-8, 271 pp., broché sous couverture imprimée, non coupé. Importantes mouillures. Dos fendillé. Unique édition de ce recueil de mélanges en prose ou en vers, incroyablement touffu, dont le but était : "Appeler l'attention des hommes politiques sur la convenance de poser les bases d'une économie sociale nouvelle, qui puisse développer les immenses ressources de la France, en constatant les progrès de la civilisation occidentale au XIXe siècle, afin d'entrer avantageusement dans la voie de l'émulation des progrès pacifiques et pouvoir aspirer à fonder, en Afrique, un empire florissant". On dirait un discours du maire de Champignac, et le propos est suffisamment vague et pompeux pour occulter le caractère totalement hétérogène des pièces réunies ici, et dont seulement une partie regarde le commerce ou la production. Le début de l'ouvrage (pp. 13-38) est au demeurant rempli des envois que l'auteur avait rédigés pour diffuser ses Paroles d'un négociant, avec les réponses des destinataires. Celle de La Mennais présente un certain intérêt, étant données les préoccupations sociales que l'on sait.Pour le reste, l'auteur est inconnu, et semble avoir été commerçant à Marseille.Seulement deux exemplaires au CCF (BnF et Troyes). - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT - LIEN DE PAIEMENT, NOUS CONSULTER.

UN OUVRAGE DE RÉFÉRENCE SUR LES MARQUISES In-8° (221 x 142 mm) [4] ff. - 362 pp. - [4] cartes - [1] f., broché, couverture imprimée. Édition originale d'un ouvrage remarquable sur les îles Marquises, établi par l'explorateur Clément-Adrien Vincendon-Dumoulin, et César Desgraz. Il est agrémenté de 4 cartes, dont 2 dépliantes, représentant les iles Hiva-oa, Taouata et Motane, les îles Marquises, Nouka-Hiva, et les ports Akani, Taïo-Hae et Vaïtahou. L'une des principales sources de l'histoire des Marquises sous direction française, après que le français Aubert du Petit-Thouars eut pris possession de l'archipel en 1842. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur des « documents transmis par nos prédécesseurs, [.] nos propres sensations, en nous aidant de nos notes particulières et de nos souvenirs » que les auteurs ont amassés lors du voyage sur l'Astrolabe en Nouvelle-Zélande sous le commandement de Dumont D'Urville. À la page 292, un sous-chapitre intitulé « Notice phrénologique et ethnologique sur les naturels de l'archipel Nouka-Hiva », est écrit par Pierre-Marie Dumoutier phrénologue à bord de la deuxième expédition de Dumont d'Urville. Le secrétaire de Dumont d'Urville, César Desgraz (1816-1865), aida Vincendon-Dumoulin à compiler les informations, notamment en déchiffrant les manuscrits du commandant. Clément-Adrien Vincendon-Dumoulin, éminent scientifique, voyagea en tant qu'ingénieur hydrographe de la Marine. Il embarque en 1837 sur l'expédition de Dumont d'Urville en direction de la Nouvelle-Zélande où l'équipage découvre pour la première fois la Terre Adélie que Vincendon-Dumoulin sera le premier à cartographier. Dumont d'Urville apprécie son travail et le remercie en nommant 5 rochers aux abords de la Terre Adélie les « îles Dumoulin ». À la mort prématurée de d'Urville, Vincendon-Dumoulin est nommé responsable pour poursuivre la publication de Voyage au Pôle Sud et dans l'Océanie entrepris par d'Urville. Il voyage à nouveau pour faire des campagnes de relevés hydrographiques notamment au Maroc, mais aussi aux Pays-Bas, ce qui lui permet de publier encore d'autres ouvrages scientifiques sur ces nouvelles expéditions. Non découronné, taches sur les plats, rares rousseurs.

Demi-cuir vert, dos orné, avec titre, peu de rousseurs . ÉDITION ORIGINALE et UNIQUE de cet "ouvrage rare très recherché" (Chadenat 5300), basé sur divers récits de voyage et "nos propres sensations, en nous aidant de nos notes particulières et de nos souvenirs" (p. vi). Ouvrage important sur les Marquises par L'ingénieur hydrographe Vincendon-Dumoulin (1811-1858), il embarqua avec Dumont d'Urville pour l'Antarctique et, à bord de L'Astrolabe, pour 3 ans dans le Pacifique. Il dressa la carte de côtes et son nom est donné à des îles et rochers de la Terre Adélie qu'il aperçut le premier. De retour en 1840, il publia les cartes de l'expédition et travailla à éditer les parties physiques et hydrographiques. Dumont d'Urville étant mort en 1842, il continua seul la publication, dont celle de l'Histoire du voyage, aidé par Desgraz, le secrétaire de L'Astrolabe, pour déchiffrer les difficiles manuscrits laissés par Dumont d'Urville. Bonne compilation des documents recueillis par les premiers navigateurs sur les îles Marquises, auxquelles sont incorporés des renseignements fournis par les missionnaires Stewart, Lesson, Jacquinot, Hombron, etc." (O'Reilly) In fine, annonce pour la souscription des "Voyages de la Commission scientifique du Nord" en 27 vol.

There is a long chapter on the social life and customs of the inhabitants of the islands. Contemporary ethnological science is represented by the 'Notice phrenologique et ethnologique sur les naturels de l'archipel Nouka-Hiva', by Dumoutier".

Paris, Arthus Bertrand, 1844. In two parts. 8vo (21.5 x 14.1 cm). Half-titles, title pages, 1056 pp. (pagination continuous); two large, engraved maps. Original uniform, printed wrappers. = Clément Adrien Vincendon-Dumoulin (1811-1858) was a hydrographic engineer with the French Navy. He took part in the voyages of the Astrolabe under the command of Dumont d'Urville, exploring the southern seas, during which he was the chief hydrographer. He made the first calculation of magnetic inclination, thus enabling the magnetic South Pole to be located. He was also the first to draw a map of the Antarctic Terre Adélie (1840). The Dumont d'Urville expedition (1837-1840) touched several islands in the South Pacific, and Vincendon-Dumoulin kept on publishing facts about these islands and their inhabitants. This is his masterpiece on Tahiti, written jointly with César Louis François Desgraz (1816-1865), secretary to Dumont d'Orville on board the Astrolabe, and allegedly the only person who could read the latter's handwriting. Uncut. Edges a bit frayed. Front wrapper to first part detached; scattered light spotting throughout, maps, however, mostly clean. A very good, complete copy of this rare work. Especially rare with the original wrappers. O'Reilly and Reitman, Bibliographie de Tahiti, 6271.

Ingénieur hydrographe de la Marine, Adrien Vincendon-Dumoulin (1811-1858) prit part aux voyages de L?Astrolabe dirigés par Dumont d'Urville et fut chargé, après la mort de ce dernier, de poursuivre la rédaction et la publication du Voyage au Pôle Sud et dans l?Océanie, secondé par César Desgraz (1816-1865), déchiffreur des manuscrits laissés par Dumont d'Urville.

Octavo, with four maps (two folding); contemporary green quarter roan. Scarce and important work on the Marquesas by Vincendon-Dumoulin, the eminent French scientist who travelled as hydrographer on Dumont d'Urville's second expedition to the Pacific and was responsible for much of the published narrative of the expedition following d'Urville's premature death. Vincendon-Dumoulin's book is usually cited as one of the chief sources for our history of the Marquesas in the post-discovery period, especially valuable since it is at least partly based on direct personal observation. Dumont d'Urville's secretary, César Desgraz, helped him with the compilation and is credited as co-author on the title-page. Additional information, including ethnological updates, is included in the sub-chapter titled 'Notice phrenologique et ethnologique sur les naturels de l'archipel Nouka-Hiva' by Pierre Marie Dumoutier, a phrenologist aboard Dumont d'Urville's second expedition. Furthermore, this book publishes Du Petit-Thouars' report on the Marquesas. Loosely inserted in this copy is a letter of two pages signed by Vincendon-Dumoulin to an unknown correspondent. Dated 1 March 1844 and written on the letterhead of the Ministere de la Marine (Dépôt des Cartes et Plans), the letter discusses colonial matters and the hospital at Martinique. This copy does include the lengthy prospectus of 38 pages for Voyages de la Commission Scientific du Nord which is followed by a further single leaf of publisher's advertisements (there is a note in the Kroepelien catalogue regarding this material). . Some moderate foxing, binding a little rubbed and bumped.
