CHARLES PIERRE CLARET, COMTE DE FLEURIEU (1738-1810)
Voyage autour du monde, pendant les années 1790, 1791, et 1792, par Étienne Marchand, précédé d'une introduction historique; auquel on a joint des recherches sur les Terres australes de Drake, et un examen critique du voyage de Roggeween; avec cartes et figures. Paris: imprimerie de la république for Bossange, Pougens and Duprat, an VI - VIII [1798-1800]. LARGE-PAPER COPIES OF VOLS I-III, 4 vols, 4° (307 x 227mm). 16 engraved plates, mostly folding maps. (Occasional very minor offsetting and spotting to plates.) Late 19th-century half calf over purple watered-silk covered boards, upper covers with gilt insignia of the Admiralty Library (rebacked, corners worn and repaired). Provenance: AUTHORIAL PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION on imprimatur leaf to: -- ALEXANDER DALRYMPLE (1737-1808, hydrographer; bequeathed to:) -- Admiralty Library (binding and cancelled stamps on titles) -- Karl V. Steinbrugge (loosely inserted booklabels).
FIRST EDITION OF THE 'MOST IMPORTANT WORK FOR THE HISTORY OF GEOGRAPHICAL DISCOVERY IN THE NORTHWEST' (Hill). The preferred quarto edition of this important account of the first French commercial voyage to the Pacific Northwest. The provenance is extremely interesting: 'Dalrymple corresponded with Charles Pierre Claret (later comte de Fleurieu), his counterpart at the Depot des cartes et plans de la marine in Paris, over exploration questions, and provided, through his own research and his connection with Samuel Wegg of the Hudson's Bay Company, the geographical basis for a scheme to unite the activities of the Hudson's Bay and East India companies through the shipping of otter pelts from the north-west coast of America to China' (ODNB). Hill 612; Howes F195; Lada-Mocarski 54; Sabin 24751 (8° edition).
