Voyage fait par ordre du roi en 1750 et 1751, dans l'Amérique septentrionale, pour rectifier les cartes des côtes de l'Acadie, de l'Isle Royale & de l'Isle de Terre-Neuve; et pour en fixer les principaux points par des Observations astronomiques. Paris: l'Imprimerie Royale, 1753. 4º (258 x 190mm). Engraved title vignette, engraved headpiece by Gobin, 6 folding maps, one folding plate of geometrical figures, folding letterpress table. (Very occasional spots, Y4r slightly soiled.) Contemporary tan calf, sides with triple fillet border, gilt-panelled spine with red morocco label, marbled endpapers, gilt edges (covers lightly scuffed, corners bumped, spine worn at extremities).

FIRST EDITION. Chabert's work is in two parts, the first an abridgement of his journal accompanied by charts, the second devoted to his astronomical observations.
