Date Published: 1823
Description:
112 pp. 20.3x12.5 cm (8x5"), period quarter polished calf over marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt. First English Edition.
An abridged translation of the two-volume French edition published the same year. Roquefeuil led the first French expedition to the Pacific since Baudin (1800-1804), the hiatus due to the interruptions of the Revolution and Napoleon's concentration on European conquests. Printed as part of Phillips' New Voyages and Travels, but often found separately. Warren Heckrotte notes that "pp. 23-27, 39-40, and 107-110 describe his visit to California, mainly San Francisco."
Condition
Calf rubbed, gilt flaked; hinges cracked, faint offsetting from text; very good.
