Paris; Arthus Bertrand; ***The two parts of this atlas once belonged to Franklin H. Delano, the grandfather of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and carry his bookplate in the front of each part. The somewhat unusual arrangement of plates is clearly original, and not unprecedented. We have inspected a number of copies of this atlas with unusual plate arrangements and have had reports of various hybrid issues with a mix of plates from the two editions. The present copy is however quite complete with the full complement of second edition plates. It seems likely that these publisher s bindings were intended as temporary clothing only and would usually have been rebound, with the plates numerically ordered in a single volume of the purchaser s choice: this was the usual outcome, nearly all copies encountered today having been rebound either early and/or late in their history. See Ferguson 978 & 979; Wantrup 82; NMM cat. 640; Sabin 60999; this edition not in Hill. The superb plates in the atlas (25 more than in the first edition) include 12 portraits (5 coloured) of NAMED Aborigines by Nicholas Petit, 11 fine zoological plates (8 coloured), 17 of native weapons, artefacts including musical instruments, canoes, habitations, etc., 6 fine coloured plates of Timor & Solor natives, & 3 of Africans (2 coloured) and 11 fine zoological plates (8 coloured). The coloured plates are some of the finest ever done in an account of a voyage to Australia. The expedition, with two vessels, le Geographe and le Naturaliste, under the command of Nicolas Baudin, was sent in 1800 to conduct a cartographic survey of the Australian continent, and although at the time it was thought to be politically inspired, it was a purely scientific voyage. Louis-Claude de Freycinet was cartographer to the expedition, and was later to lead his own world voyage in the ships l Uranie and la Physicienne; while Francois Peron was naturalist. Unfortunately Baudin was not a particularly

56 competent leader and his authority was constantly undermined by the scheming and politically motivated Peron. The voyage was also plagued by ill-health and at Mauritius on the voyage out, over 40 of the scientists and crew deserted. The expedition met with the Australian coast at Cape Leeuwin, and the two vessels becoming separated, sailed to Timor, where they were re-united. When eventually, after re-surveying parts of Van Diemen s Land, Baudin followed his original orders and commenced a survey of the south coast of Australia from the East, he met Flinders at Encounter Bay. After this meeting Baudin took the expedition to Sydney where the Geographe was refitted and the crew rested, and where it was decided to send the Naturaliste back to France with the specimens already collected (see below). To replace this vessel, the Casuarina was purchased from Governor King and Freycinet was put in command. While in Sydney, the aggressive Peron took advantage of his host s hospitality by preparing a report on the defences of the settlement which he later submitted to General Decaen with the recommendation that Sydney be destroyed at the earliest opportunity as it later might not be so readily achieved. After the stay in Sydney, the expedition returned to surveying the South Coast and discovered and charted the south coast of Kangaroo Island. After some further surveying along the west and north-west coast including a second visit to Timor, the expedition returned to France via Mauritius, where unhappily Baudin died. In spite of the failure of the expedition to complete its allotted tasks and the untimely death of its commander the scientific achievements were outstanding and many hundreds of plants were illustrated and described and in addition a collection of over eighteen thousand zoological specimens was amassed, together with observations on numerous subjects - all this with a complement greatly reduced (both in scientific staff & crew) by desertion and illness! Baudin s death meant that the official account of the expedition, was left in the hands of his arch enemy Peron and the barely more sympathetic Freycinet, and in the first edition of , Baudin s name is not even mentioned except to accuse him of causing all the misfortunes which befel the expedition. The first edition was complete in two parts: 1. The Partie Historique, 2 vols., 4to, text

57 and 1 vol., 4to, atlas; and 2. The Partie Navigation et Geographie, 1 vol., 4to, text & 1 vol., folio, atlas. The very rare second part was not re-published but was available from the publisher of the present second edition, as indicated by the note on the verso of the half-title of vol. I: On trouve chez le meme libraire la partie Nautique et Geographique du Voyage aux Terres australes, par M. Louis de Freycinet; 1 vol. in-4, et atlas gr. in-fol. This second edition of the Partie Historique prepared by Freycinet was extensively revised from the first edition, and the maps of the Australian coastline with the French names which had preceded the publication of Flinders account, owing to his long imprisonment on Mauritius, were dropped from the atlas to be replaced by 25 new plates. Many of these new plates are of great importance to Australia, including 5 more portraits of aborigines to complement those which had also appeared in the first edition, the plate of aboriginal drawings and another of aboriginal music. The three plates of Africans also are new to this edition, as are 14 of the Timor plates, several of these in exquisite colour. #9759 A$49,500.00

London; Longman; ***Ferguson 418; Hill 1723; Wantrup, page 83; Borba de Moraes, page 870. With the signature of A. C. Arnold, Jan. 6th, 1806 on the title-page. Tuckey was First Lieutenant of the Calcutta, commanded by Captain Daniel Woodriff. This account describes the expedition, led by David Collins, which was to found a settlement at Port Phillip, but the attempt at settlement was soon abandoned in favour of the Derwent River in Tasmania. Tuckey, however, surveyed and charted the bay and its environs before the expedition left, and his account is the only contemporary published account of the abortive settlement. The Calcutta was accompanied on the voyage from England by the Ocean, a merchant vessel chartered to carry stores for the colonisation scheme. En route to Port Phillip the Calcutta visited Teneriffe and the Cape Verde Islands, Rio de Janeiro (of which a long account is given, including the slavery), Tristan d Acunha, Cape Town and Simon s Town, and the Island of St. Paul. Appendices include a List of Plants found at Port Philip (sic), Meteorological Journal for October-December at Port Philip, observations on the Timbers of New South Wales, and observations respecting selection of Convicts for transportation, and on the means of preserving health on the voyage. Tuckey later published an account of the first scientific expedition to the Congo or Zaire River. #5023 A$
