London: The Hakluyt Society, 1981. First Edition. 310pp. Octavo [22.5 cm] Blue cloth with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. Very good/Very good. The Hakluyt Society - Second Series: Volume 158. The St. Jean-Baptiste expedition sailed at a crucial time in Pacific exploration. The voyages of Bougainville and Wallis had just ended, James Cook's first voyage had just begun. This work, based on previously unpublished documents held in the French National Archives, adds a new dimension to our understanding of Pacific exploration and places the voyage in the broader perspective of continuing Angle-French rivalry.
