Amsterdam; Paul Marret; ***Detailed collations and bibliographical information on this work are hard to come by, however we believe this set to be quite complete. The first two volumes were first published in 1698 (see Sabin 18381). These volumes did not contain the second part of the present Volume II (Traite des Ventes - see Sabin 18384) and Sabin (in his 18381) refers to a second edition of the two volumes in the same year (1698) presumably of similar configuration to the first. Sabin also refers to a third volume ( Suplement...) and a fourth ( Voyage... aux Terres Australes ) both published in MDCCXI (1711), but these are clearly reprints of the volumes here present (1701 and 1705 respectively). Part II to the present Volume II, with its separate title-page, is the first appearance in French of the Treatise on the Winds and clearly was intended to be bound with Part I (as indicated by the catchword on the last page of adverts. to Part I). Sabin s refers to several editions in a rather confused and unsatisfactory manner, which may in effect include the present collection. In summary this is a fine set of the first complete edition in French, volumes III, IV and V being the first editions, and Volumes I and II being the first complete (augmented) editions; a rare and desirable collection, seldom encountered. #26377 A$13,500.00

London; J. Johnson; ***Ferguson 289; Hill 2, 974; Sabin One of four translations (one being an abridgement in one volume, 8vo only) published in London in 1798, here reprinted in Ferguson calls for an atlas of 44 plates, but it is doubtful that this was issued with this edition-- his entry for the first edition (1798) of this version (F. 270) makes no mention of an atlas -- probably it was only a binding variation with the plates in a separate atlas rather than bound up in the text volumes as directed by the publisher (one of the charts in Vol. III is in two sheets, which would account for the discrepancy in numbers). The voyage aroused intense interest but the ships were not heard of after leaving Botany Bay in 1788 and their fate was not positively determined until Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks at Vanikoro over 30 years later. #12603 A$
