Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship Victoria to front cover in original jacket. Translated by John Dunmore. Second Series, volume 158. First edition. The St Jean-Baptiste expedition sailed at a crucial time in Pacific ex;oration. The voyages of Bougainville and Wallis had just ended, James Cooks's voyage had just begun. Jean-François-Marie de Surville entered the Pacific by way of the Northern Philippines, made a landfall in the Solomons, sailed to New Zealand, where he narrowly missed encountering Cook's Endeavor, and crossed the southern Pacific to the coast of Peru where he met his death in an attempt to obtain help for the decimated crew. Professor Dunmore has chose the Journals of Surville and his first officer, Guillaume Labé, to present a complementary two-man picture of the expedition, while also drawing from other journals and reports. In his Introduction, he analyzes the aims of the voyage, the part played by the expedition in the rediscover of the Solomon Islands, the contribution Surville and his officers mad to our knowledge of pre-colonial Maori society and the Spanish response to the arrival of a French ship in their coastal waters. He examines the question of the first religious service held in New Zealand and the problem of the mythical Davis Land. Above all, the Introduction and the journals provide a valuable picture of a Pacific expedition in the heroic period of exploration and hardships the encountered. This edition, based on unpublished documents held in the French National Archives, adds a new dimension to our understanding of Pacific exploration and places the voyage in the broader perspective of continuing Anglo-French rivalry.
