ROQUEFEUIL (Camille de). Voyage autour du monde... followed by a vocabulary of marine terms, illustrated with engravings and maps. Paris, imprimerie de Béthune et Plon, 1843. 2 volumes in-8, paperback, printed and illustrated covers. Uncommon second edition, not mentioned in the usual bibliographies, of this third French voyage around the world. It is illustrated with 2 fold-out engraved maps (world map, and map of the Pacific coast from Alaska to California) and enlarged with 4 engraved plates, two of which are fold-outs (portraits and views). Camille de Roquefeuil, a ship's lieutenant, proposed, and obtained government approval for, a commercially-financed round-the-world voyage. Leaving Bordeaux in October 1816, he passed through Tierra del Fuego, calling at Valparaiso, Lima and San Francisco, explored the Galapagos Islands, and sailed up the American coast to Alaska to buy furs. He spent the winter of 1817-1818 in Hawaii, sailed the Pacific and sold his furs in Macao, before returning to Bordeaux via the Cape of Good Hope. After the publication of his travel journal, he was appointed Governor of Reunion Island. His journal provides one of the most complete descriptions of life among the Indians of British Columbia in the early nineteenth century, as well as the living conditions of the inhabitants of Nootka Island. He was the first French navigator to enter San Francisco Bay. A good copy preserved in its original booklet. Some wear to covers. The preface of the first edition, corresponding to pages I to XII, has been removed in the second edition.
