内容説明
After the death of James Cook, during the great era of Pacific exploration, France planned a four-year expedition to areas of the Pacific left unexplored or inadequately surveyed by Cook. The expedition was led by the highly regarded naval officer Galaup de la Perouse, and he set off for Tenerife, Brazil and Chile. He went on to Easter Island, the Hawaiian group, and the north-west coast of America, then crossed the Pacific to China, the Philippines and Formosa, and the unknown waters around Korea. From thence he sailed south via the Samoan group to Botany Bay, which he left in March 1788 -at which point the expedition vanished, its fate uncertain for almost 40 years.

内容説明
After James Cook's death, a large-scale French expedition was organised to the Pacific, concentrating on areas left unexplored or inadequately surveyed by Cook and led by the experienced and highly regarded naval officer, Galaup de La Perouse. He sailed with two ships in August 1785, making for Tenerife, Brazil and Chile. His travels encompassed Easter Island, the Hawaiian group and the Northwest Coast of America; California, where they were the first foreign visitors to the new Spanish missions; China; the Philippines and Formosa; and the unknown waters around Korea, Sakhalin and Kamchatka. La Perouse then sailed south towards the Samoan group and to Botany Bay in New South Waleswhere he arrived on 26 January 1788. He left on 10 March, and at this point, the expedition vanished.
An account of the voyage was later published, based on La Perouse's journal which he sent back from various ports of call. It contained his comments on his discoveries and on the varioussettlements he visited, and a wealth of information on native people, their customs and language, and reports by the naturalists on board his ships. This second volume contains the balance of the annotated narrative, from the Philippines to Botany Bay, selected correspondence from La Perouse and other members of the expedition, the ships' muster rolls, further editorial material, maps, a select bibliography and the analytical index.
