Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. [6]+xxvii+[3, Table of Contents and Directions for Placing Plates]+285; [2]+297+[3] pages with folding frontispiece map and 14 lithographed plates (two folding) Part 2: 299 pages with 11 lithographed plates, tables, in-text red line diagram and appendices. Quarto (10 3/4" x 8 1/2") bound in half leather with new spine and original marbled boards. (Ferguson 885; Hill 298; Sabin 1865) First English Edition. Jacques Étienne Victor Arago was a French writer, artist and explorer, author of a Voyage Round the World. Jacques Arago joined Louis de Freycinet as an artist when he left Toulon in 1817 in command of a scientific voyage around the world aboard the corvette Uranie. The expedition returned in 1820 and Arago was the first to publish an account, the Promenade autour du monde, in the form of letters to a friend named Battle, in 1822. An English translation followed in 1823. He continued to expand on his adventures in further editions and in the late 1830s published a much longer version under the title Souvenirs d'un Aveugle (Memoirs of a Blind Man). There are significant differences from the Promenade and the reliability is in doubt. Having been given a challenge many years later by a lady at a social dinner, he then published Voyage autour du monde, sans la lettre A (Voyage around the world, without the letter A), later known as Curieux voyage autour du monde, in 1853, where he tells of his round trip lipogrammatically, that is, without once using the letter "A". the lady replied with a letter without the letter C. "The Uranie, with a crew of 125 men under the command of Captain Louis de Freycinet, entered the Pacific from the West to make scientific observations on geography, magnetism, and meteorology. Arago was the artist of the expedition, which visited Western Australia, Timor, Hawaii, and New South Wales. The original ship was wrecked off the Falkland Islands. Two months later the expedition continued aboard the Physicienne, which stopped for a time at Rio de Janeiro. These letters, written in a lively and witty literary style, provide vivid descriptions of the topography and the inhabitants of the Pacific islands. The book achieved great success." - [Hill, 28 & 29]. The scientific reports were separately published by Freycinet from 1825 to 1844, the most notable of which recorded the measurement of the southern hemisphere. Arago's popular account focuses on the scenery, people and natural history of the Pacific, reflected in the title of the first French edition: Promenade autour du monde. His drawings are among the most realistic expedition illustrations of their time, well outside the classical rendition given to Pacific islanders by Bartolozzi in his interpretation of the drawings of Webber and Hodges on Cook's voyages. Louis de Freycinet had first been to the Pacific with Nicholas Baudin's Australian exploratory expedition of 1800-1803 when he was responsible for its charts and atlases. This 1817 expedition was of his own design, intended for scientific rather than geographic discovery. Sailing east from the Cape of Good Hope in the Uranie, he made for Timor, Micronesia and Hawaii, Australia, and the Malouines (Falkland Islands), where his one ship was wrecked and another was purchased and re-christened Physicienne. Appended are vocabularies for Timor, the Marianas and Carolines, and Hawaii. Condition: Folding lithographed map trimmed with slight loss at right-hand edge. 2 folding plates at foot with short tears to edges, plates foxed and offset, title browned, light water-staining towards end affecting 2 plates. Contemporary half calf rubbed, rebacked, corners repaired else very good.

Punte in pergamena. Ottimo stato. Seconda edizione italiana (la prima è di Milano, Sonzogno, 1824) della Promenade autour du monde, pendant les années 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820, sur les corvettes du roi l'Uranie et la Physicienne, commandées par M. Freycinet (Parigi, 1822). The Uranie, with a crew of 125 men under the command of Captain Louis de Freycinet, entered the Pacific from the West to make scientific observations on geography, magnetism, and meteorology. Arago was the artist of the expedition, which visited Western Australia, Timor, Hawaii, and New South Wales. The original ship was wrecked off the Falkland Islands. Two months later the expedition continued aboard the Physicienne, which stopped for a time at Rio de Janeiro. Captain Freycinet's wife, Rose Pinon, was smuggled on board at the advent of the voyage and made the complete journey, causing some discord among the crew. Freycinet named an island he discovered after her - Rose Island among the Samoa islands. These entertaining letters, written in a lively and witty literary style, provide vivid descriptions of the topography and the inhabitants of the Pacific Islands. The book achieved great success (Hill, 28-29). The Hawaiian portion of the text, contained on more than 150 pages, records impressions of the artist's stops on Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu. Extensive portions of the text also record the Arago impressions of Australia, Guam, and the Marianas Islands (Forbes, 537). Jacques Etienne Victor Arago (Estagel, 1790-in Brasile, 1855), fu un grande viaggiatore, benchè colpito dal 1827 da cecità. Nel corso della spedizione sulla Uranie, comandata da Freycinet e finanziata dal governo francese, cui prese parte nel 1817 in qualità di disegnatore, e che descrisse nel presente volume, visitò per un mese le Hawaii, toccando, nel proprio itinerario, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, il Capo di Buona Speranza, le Mauritius, il Nuovo Galles del Sud, le Isole Caroline ed eseguendo importanti rilevazioni scientifiche sulla geografia, il magnetismo terrestre, la meteorologia e climatologia, segnatamente dell'Oceania e dei mari del Sud. Giornalista, romanziere, drammaturgo, legò però il proprio nome alle sue straordinarie imprese di circumnavigazione terrestre; fra gli altri scritti che documentano il suo spirito eclettico e bizzarro, ricordiamo almeno il Voyage autour du monde sans la lettre A. Raccolta di viaggi. Prima edizione torinese, XL-XLVI. Italiano.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. 3 volumes: two volumes text, 8vo (8 x 5 inches); and atlas, folio (13 x 9 4/8 inches). Half-titles. One lithographed map and 25 plates (some occasional spotting). Uniformly bound in contemporary French half calf, marbled boards, morocco lettering pieces on spines (extremities a bit scuffed). Provenance: Bookplate of P.W. van Doorne in Atlas volume; bookplates of Frank Sherwin Streeter (1918-2006) (Collection of Important Navigation, Pacific Voyages, Cartography and Science). First edition. Arago was a draughtsman with cartographer Louis de Freycinet's (1779-1842) scientific expedition to South America from 1817-1820. His is a lively account of their expedition, accompanied by his naturalistic drawings, to Gibraltar, Tenerife and Rio de Janeiro and then on to the Pacific region visiting Hawaii, Maui and Oahu, the Mariana islands, Timor, New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand, Tierra del Fuego, the Malouines, or Falkland Islands, where the "Uranie" was wrecked and the "Physicienne" purchased, then back too Rio de Janeiro and to Le Havre. Arago's narrative focuses on the scenery, people and natural history of the Pacific, in contrast to the complimentary scientific results of the expedition which were published separately by Freycinet as "Voyage autor du Monde."in 1824-1826. From the distinguished library of Frank S. Streeter. Ferguson 850; Forbes 537; Hill 28; Sabin 1867. Catalogue description prepared for and on behalf of Arader Galleries by Kate Hunter. Book.

Two volumes, octavo, and small folio atlas; the atlas with separate title, map and 25 lithographic plates; text in mid-nineteenth century quarter green roan trade binding with gilt ornament, atlas in more recent quarter green roan to match. First edition: variant issue. A very good set of this significant narrative of the Freycinet expedition, one of the most important of all voyages to the Pacific. This wonderful, informal account of the voyage is written in the form of letters to a friend by the voyage's official artist Jacques Arago, and has a fine series of lithographs by him. The images, which would reappear in different forms in the many subsequent versions of Arago's narrative, are well known for their vivid even eccentric character, lively and arresting images of the people Arago encountered, with a distinct preference for the unusual or the grotesque. This set is a variant issue of the first edition, with undated cancel title pages for the two text volumes; its reissue may well indicate a failure of the first edition to sell out, quite at odds with the apparently endless popularity of Arago's subsequent versions of his voyage memoir. The text and plates of the atlas are identical to the first edition with the title-page dated 1822. Although a lavish publication in its own right, Arago's "unofficial" account appeared years before the much grander official account of Freycinet himself even began publication, and was so popular that it would have been the source of much of what was known about the voyage. Arago, by all accounts a mercurial and innovative fellow, broke away from the well-established 'canon' of voyage literature in preparing this narrative. As he boasts, much of the cumbersome detail such as wind, tides and navigational information has been omitted, resulting in a lighter, and more readable book. 'These entertaining letters, written in a lively and witty literary style, provide vivid descriptions of the topography and the inhabitants of the Pacific islands' (Hill). The Uranie, with a crew of 125 under the command of Captain Louis de Freycinet, entered the Pacific from the west to make scientific observations on geography, magnetism, and meteorology. Arago was the artist of the expedition, which visited Western Australia, Timor, Hawaii, and New South Wales. The text is peppered with Arago's personal and insightful comments on the places they visited, with long sections devoted to Western Australia and especially to New South Wales, where Arago gives an interesting account of colonial society at the close of the Macquarie era. There are good descriptions of Sydney, and the explorers' visits to Camden and the Blue Mountains. The French were entertained handsomely by the governor and other members of the local aristocracy, with expeditions to the country estates of the Macarthurs, the Oxleys and the Kings the order of the day. Forbes notes two variants of this issue (see 538), without establishing any precedence. . Some foxing, previous owner's name to title page of the atlas in an old cursive hand, some drawings in pencil to reverse of a few of the plates.
