Second edition in Spanish, originally published in French in 1826. A standard pilot to the Brazilian coast for the time, Roussin's guide was mainly based on information gathered during a survey in 1819-20. The second part of the text, which begins on page 175, is made up of a translation of Captain Barral's account of another French hydrographical survey undertaken in 1830-32. The lengthy appendix (pp.197-263) is a compendium of extracts of earlier navigational work along Brazil's coast. The handsome lithograph profiles are of various Brazilian coastlines and ports. Borba de Moraes also cites a 1841 Spanish edition. PALAU 279630. BORBA DE MORAES II, pp.753 (ref). SABIN 73498 (ref). [4],265,[2]pp. plus four folding lithograph plates of coastal profiles and a colored lithograph plate of flag signals. Quarto. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt, edges painted yellow. Boards somewhat rubbed. A few leaves slightly wrinkled, but internally clean. Very good.
