LA PEROUSE, Jean Francois Galaup de. The Voyage of La Pérouse round the World in the Years 1785, 1786, 1787, and 1788. Arranged by M.L.A. Milet Mureau. London: Stockdale, 1798. 2 vols. 8o. 7 engraved maps (3 folding) and 44 engraved plates. (Some foxing, a few plates with imprints shaved). 19th-century calf by E. Beckley, with binder's ticket on front free endpaper of both vols. (some rubbing and abraisions to spine and covers). One of two editions published in English in 1798. The above copy has more maps and plates. "The narrative of the enterprising but ill-fated Pérouse, is full of interest in all portions, but his relations of the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the northwest coast of North America, are especially valuable. 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 38964; Howes L-93. (2)
