Three text volumes plus atlas. Text volumes: [2],xi,[1],491pp. plus seven plates; [6],516pp. plus five plates (including one map); [6],562pp. plus six plates. Atlas: [4]pp. plus sixteen charts (many double-sheet). Folio text volumes: Handsome contemporary half speckled calf and boards, raised bands, leather label. Small old private library stamps on titlepages and bottom edges, else beautiful and crisp. Very good. Folio atlas: Bound to style in matching speckled calf and boards. Neat marginal tissue repairs to a few maps, small old private library stamp on titlepage and following leaf of contents. A very nice set. Vancouver, who served as a midshipman on the voyages of Cook, was placed in command of an expedition to the Northwest Coast to determine England's rights under the Nootka Sound convention of 1790. The ships of the expedition reached the Northwest Coast in 1792 and spent two years surveying the coastline, resulting in the most precise maps of the Northwest made up to that time or for many years thereafter. Vancouver remained on the coast until 1794 and returned to England in 1795. He spent the rest of his life preparing his material for publication, although he did not live to see it, dying in 1798 at the age of forty. This French edition followed hard on the heels of the English, and as an example of book production it is vastly superior in every way, printed on much better paper and with the maps better executed. This is best represented in the atlas, whose sixteen huge charts supplied the world with most of what it knew about the Northwest Coast. A beautiful and very important work. HILL 1753 (ref).

3 vol. in-4, VII-491 pp., 516 pp. et 562 pp., 17 gravures et 1 carte h.-t., demi-basane brune, dos lisse orné de filets dorés (reliure de la fin du XIXe). Dos passés. Des feuillets jaunis et d'autres restaurés. Au tome I, il manque les pages de Notice de l'atlas et l'état des planches du tome I (pp. IX à XI et feuillet non paginé). Au tome II, mouillures depuis la page 444 jusqu'à la fin. Au tome III, fortes mouillures depuis la page 149 jusqu'à la fin. Première édition française de ce célèbre voyage d?exploration dans le Pacifique et sur la côte occidentale de l?Amérique du Nord. George Vancouver (1757-1798), avait participé aux deux dernières expéditions de Cook et fut chargé par le gouvernement britannique de reconnaître et d'étudier la partie de la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique que le capitaine n'avait fait qu'apercevoir, ainsi que de prendre possession du territoire des indiens Nootkas cédé par l?Espagne à l?Angleterre. Après avoir relevé une grande partie de la côte sud-ouest de l?Australie, Vancouver compléta la reconnaissance des îles Sandwich et de Tahiti puis releva de 1791 à 1795 avec une grande précision le littoral canadien de l'Ouest, visitant les tribus locales, les établissements russes et les missions espagnoles de la côte. Ses découvertes sont surtout d'ordre astronomique et nautique, mais il décrit d'une manière pittoresque et précise les indigènes avec lesquels il est entré en contact et les cérémonies auxquelles il put assister et donne nombre de renseignements de valeur sur les coutumes des Polynésiens.Exemplaire sans l'atlas.Sabin 98441.
