1 vol. in-4 (253 x 195 mm) de : XIV (titre, épître, avertissement, "explication de quelques termes de marine"); 298 pp. (dont table); [1] f. (approbation, privilège, fautes à corriger); 37 planches numérotées (rousseurs claires éparses). Demi-basane, plats recouverts de papier marbré, dos à cinq nerfs orné, titre de maroquin rouge, tranches rouges (jolie reliure pastiche, corps d'ouvrage d'origine). Edition originale de ce classique de la littérature de voyage de la Mer du Sud. D'abord prisé pour son apport cartographique, (Frézier est l'auteur de la première carte fiable de la rive orientale du Pacifique) il continue d'intéresser aujourd'hui pour ses observations d'histoire naturelle, ethnologiques et sociales. Frézier (1682-1737), lieutenant d'infanterie, nommé ingénieur ordinaire en 1707, se distingua en suggérant au Maréchal Villars la « manuvre de Denain » qui mit fin à la guerre de Succession d'Espagne. Nommé officier du génie, il est choisi par le ministre des Fortifications, Peletier de Souzy pour un voyage d'exploration dans les mers du Sud : mission de reconnaissance des ports et fortifications espagnoles sur la côte occidentale de l'Amérique du Sud. La France qui traverse une crise économique, se renseigne sur les riches colonies du Roi d'Espagne : leurs ports, relations commerciales et ressources minières. Après un premier départ avorté, Frézier embarque comme simple particulier sur un navire marchand, le Saint-Joseph, commandé par le capitaine Duchesne-Battas, de 350 tonneaux, 150 hommes et 36 canons (confidentialité de la mission oblige) en janvier 1712. Ils atteignent Concepción en juin 1712. Fin septembre Frézier part pour huit mois à Valparaiso d'où il visite Santiago. En mai 1713, il repart pour le Nord, visite Serena, la côte de Copiapo, et arrive jusqu'à Callao, le port de Lima. Il revient à Concepción, où il séjourne de novembre 1713 à février 1714, puis s'embarque pour la France sur un marchand qui arrive à Marseille en août 1714. Sa Relation apporta de grandes avancées dans le domaine cartographique sur une partie du monde dangereuse et mal connue, mais primordiale pour les communications et le commerce de l'époque : le Détroit de Magellan, le Cap Horn, l'île des Etats, la Terre de Feu et les Malouines. Bougainville et La Pérouse le citent comme une référence dans leurs relations quand ils passent dans ces zones. L'ouvrage donne un compte-rendu précis de toutes les fortifications, batteries et des troupes de ces ports. Mais l'auteur fait également un travail de botaniste, de minéralogiste (lors de son analyse des mines d'or et d'argent), et même d'économiste et d'ethnologue. Il dépeint d'une plume acerbe les colons qu'il juge paresseux et brutaux, se reposant sur leurs esclaves comme l'illustre la gravure XXXV : « Nègres portant le serpentin ». En effet, ses talents de dessinateur ne se limitent pas à la cartographie, l'ouvrage comporte six planches d'histoire naturelle, dont le Fraisier blanc dont l'auteur ramena quelques plants en Europe, et sept planches représentant des habitants des divers pays visités, en costumes typiques, dans des activités quotidiennes. Les plans dépliants des villes sont souvent complétés par des vues, comme c'est le cas pour Callao, Concepción, Valparaíso, La Serena, Salvador de Bahía, and Angra (Azores). Bel exemplaire, bien complet des planches de cette relation majeure. 1 vol. 4to (253 x 195 mm) of : XIV (title, epistle, warning, "explication de quelques termes de marine"); 298 pp. (including table); [1] f. (approbation, privilege, errors to be corrected); 37 numbered plates (scattered light foxing). Half sheep, boards covered with marbled paper, five-ribbed spine decorated, red morocco title, red edges (attractive pastiche binding, original book block). First edition of this classic of South Sea travel literature. Initially prized for its cartographic contribution (Frézier was the author of the first reliable map of the eastern shore of the Pacific), it continues to interest readers today for its natural history, ethnological and social observations. Frézier (1682-1737), infantry lieutenant, was appointed ingénieur ordinaire in 1707, and distinguished himself by suggesting to Marshal Villars the "Denain maneuver" that ended the War of the Spanish Succession. Appointed an engineering officer, he was chosen by the Minister of Fortifications, Peletier de Souzy, for a voyage of exploration in the South Seas: a reconnaissance mission of Spanish ports and fortifications on the west coast of South America. France, in the midst of an economic crisis, sought information on the King of Spain's rich colonies: their ports, trade relations and mineral resources. After a first abortive departure, Frézier embarked as a private individual on a merchant ship, the Saint-Joseph, commanded by Captain Duchesne-Battas, of 350 tons, 150 men and 36 cannons (mission confidentiality required) in January 1712. They reached Concepción in June 1712. At the end of September, Frézier sailed for eight months to Valparaiso, from where he visited Santiago. In May 1713, he headed north again, visiting Serena, the Copiapo coast and as far as Callao, the port of Lima. He returned to Concepción, where he stayed from November 1713 to February 1714, before setting sail for France on a merchant ship that arrived in Marseille in August 1714. His Relation brought major advances in cartography to a dangerous and little-known part of the world, which was vital for communications and trade at the time: the Magellan Strait, Cape Horn, the Isle of the States, Tierra del Fuego and the Falklands. Bougainville and La Pérouse cited it as a reference in their relations when passing through these areas. The book gives a precise account of all the fortifications, batteries and troops in these ports. But the author is also a botanist, a mineralogist (in his analysis of the gold and silver mines), and even an economist and ethnologist. With an acerbic pen, he depicts the colonists as lazy.

First Edition. A defective first edition (missing one map and one plate) of this classic in the literature of Pacific voyages of exploration. 4to: xiv,298,[2]pp, with 35 (of 37) maps, plans, and plates (18 of which are folding); ornamental engraved vignettes, and woodcut musical notation in the text (never bound in were the map of Détroit de le Maire, no. v, and the plate of Indiens en habits simples, no. ix); plate xvi was bound in twice). Contemporary calf, spine richly gilt in six compartments, brown leather lettering piece gilt, "Caissotti" in gilt script on upper board, all edges stained red, marbled end papers, red silk page marker. An exceptional, wide-margined copy, text, maps, and plates fresh and clean, marred only by a stain in the gutter of first three leaves. Provenance: copper-engraved bookplate, "Il Cittadino / Carlo Giac. Caissotti." Sabin 25924. Borba de Moraes 328. Hill, p. 115. Leclerc 1736. Palau 94964. Gibson's Library, p. 128. Item #BB0841. Frézier set sail in 1712 with a French commission to assess the strength of Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast and to revise existing charts. According to Hill, he "brought back information of considerable geographical and scientific value" to later navigators, and his account is today appreciated for its keen observations of the customs, commerce, and natural historyâ"including the cotton and strawberry plantsâ"of Chile, Peru and Tierra del Fuego. (It's interesting to note that Frezier's surname was itself derived from fraise, the French for strawberry.) The chapters on Indian and Creole life include descriptions of costume and architecture, as well as musical instruments. The folding plans of cities visited are often enhanced by panoramic views, as in the case of Callao, Concepción, Valparaíso, La Serena, Salvador de Bahía, and Angra (Azores). Amongst the most important plates are the general map of the expedition, the Strait of Lemaire, Valdivia, Bahía de an Vicente, Santiago de Chile, Lima and Bahía de Todos los Santos. An immediate success, the work was soon translated into English and German and republished several times in the eighteenth century. N. B.

Plate IX, showing a Chilean in the posture of playing La Sueca, is commonly regarded as the earliest depiction of a form of golf. Frezier introduced strawberries from Chile to France. "Frezier, a French royal military engineer, was under contract to sail to the Spanish possessions in South America to construct forts for defense against English and Dutch attacks. The French government also ordered him to chart the western coast of South America, in order that they would have some knowledge of that area for possible military operations. The first part of this book gives an interesting account of the voyage from France around Cape Horn and was used by contemporary and even by later navigators. The second part relates to the voyage along the coasts of Chile and Peru, describing the chief towns and cities. Frezier, a man of observation, brought back information of consideration geographical and scientific value" (Hill). Hill I, pp. 115-6. Sabin 25925. HBS 65403. $5,000.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 4to. xiv + 298 + [2]p. With 24 maps and plans (17 folding) by A. Bercy le fils and Fonbonne, and 13 plates (1 folding) engraved by N. Guerard le fils and J. B. Scotin; ornamental engraved vignette and historiated initials preceding dedication, some musical notation in the text. Ornamental woodcuts and initials. 19th century half calf; spine gilt with armorial stamp gilt-stamped on tailend of spine. First edition of a classic in the literature on South American voyages of exploration. Frézier (1682-1737), a military engineer from Savoy, sailed to Chile and Peru in 1712 with a French commission to assess the strength of Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast. His account of the expedition was much valued as an early contribution to the hydrographical knowledge of the region, but is today of interest for its keen observations on the life, customs, commerce, and natural history of Chile, Peru, and Brazil. The author was the first Frenchman to accomplish an accurate chart of the Straits of Magellan and of the region round Cape Horn, and his work served as a guide to later navigators. The folding plans of the cities visited are often enhanced by inset panoramic views, as in the case of Callao, Concepción, Valparaíso, La Serena, Salvador de Bahía, and Angra (Azores). The chapters on Indian and creole life include descriptions of costume and architecture, music and dancing (pp232-233), food and drink, and pastimes, with plates showing male and female costume, the ritual of drinking maté (Paraguayan tea), Chilean Indians playing the 'Sueca', a game resembling hockey, flour-making, etc. On pp241-246 the author describes the cruel and mean treatment of the Indians by the creoles, who were not permitted to have Indians as slaves, and therefore favoured their African slaves imported from Angola and Guinea via Portobello and Panama; these in turn were not allowed to mix with the Indians and adopted their masters' condescension towards them. The Indians consequently nurtured an implacable hatred of both the creoles and their slaves, and hid away provisions and any mineral riches they might discover. The section on Brazil treats the island of Santa Catharina (pp17-27), and Bahia, (pp272-279), then the country's capital, where the author comments on the African slave trade and on the large population of Jews; a folding plate represents two negro slaves carrying a passenger in a sedan chair. Frézier's studies of natural history are only remembered today for bringing back Chilean strawberry plants which were successfully propagated in France by Bernard de Jussieu, and here illustrated life-size on plate XI. There are descriptions of the maté tea plant (pp228-230), of the coca plant (pp246-247), of guano (p137), and plates representing the cotton plant, exotic fishes and llamas. Light foxing at beginning and end, otherwise a good copy. Borba de Moraes 328; Hill, p115; Leclerc 1736; Palau 94964.

À Paris, chez Jean-Godefroy Nyon, 1716, in-4, XIV-298-[2] pp, 37 pl, Basane havane de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, tranches rouges, 37 cartes et planches, dont 18 à double page, le tout gravé en taille-douce. Édition originale de cette relation très recherchée. L'auteur, qui avait été envoyé en Amérique du sud pour espionner les installations portuaires des colonies espagnoles, donne ici des descriptions et remarques intéressantes sur les peuples, la faune, la flore et la minéralogie du Brésil du Chili et du Pérou. Il effectue plusieurs relevés qui aboutissent à la première cartographie précise de l'Amérique méridionale ; il lève notamment les cartes de la Baie de tous les Saints (pl. XXXIII) et de l'île Sainte-Catherine (pl. III) au Brésil. Parmi les planches qui illustrent l'ouvrage se trouve celle qui représente le fraisier du Chili, en grandeur naturelle. Ce fraisier "différend du nôtre par les feuilles plus arrondies, plus charnues et fort velues", porte des fruits "gros comme une noix, & quelques fois comme un oeuf de poule ; ils sont d'un rouge blanchâtre & un peu moins délicat au goût que nos fraises des bois" (p. 70, pl. XI) : Frézier, au nom si prédestiné, ramena quelques pieds de cette espèce en France et les donna à Jussieu pour le Jardin Royal. Elle est à l'origine de toutes les espèces de fraises modernes. Amédée François Frézier (1682-1773), fils d'un gentilhomme écossais réfugié en France, servit dans l'infanterie, sous les ordres du duc de Charost, puis entra dans le corps du génie comme ingénieur en 1707 ; il contribua notamment à l'amélioration des fortifications de Saint-Malo. Il est connu tant pour ses talents de cartographe que pour ses connaissances en pyrotechnie; il est en effet l'auteur de l'un des meilleurs traités sur les fusées et sur les feux d'artifice de son temps (Traité des feux d'artifice. Paris, Chez Daniel Jollet, 1706). Il a également publié un ouvrage sur la taille de la pierre et du bois. Exemplaire qui présente un amusant petit défaut d'impression : le cuivre de la lettrine "M" de la page de dédicace a été placé de travers. Bel exemplaire. Reliure restaurée. Mouillure très pâle sur un feuillet, infimes rousseurs et rares petites taches. Bel état intérieur. Borda de Moraes I, p. 281. Chadenat n° 71. Leclerc, n° 587.

Édition originale illustrée de 37 cartes et planches, dont 18 dépliantes, montées sur onglets, bandeaux et ornements typographiques. Relation très estimée pour l'exactitude des descriptions et des cartes. Ingénieur et navigateur, A. F. Frézier (1682-1737), lieutenant d?infanterie, nommé ingénieur ordinaire en 1707, fut chargé d'étudier les moyens de défense du Pérou et du Chili. Il élargit le cercle de sa mission et rectifia sur les cartes plusieurs points de la côte des Patagons et de la partie occidentale de la Terre de Feu. Il donna la première bonne carte de l'Amérique Australe. Sabin, 25924. Leclerc, 1736.

Debido al gran tráfico de buques franceses que partían hacia América, el ingeniero militar Amadée Frezier presentó al rey de Francia el proyecto de viajar a Chile y Perú, con el fin de estudiar las defensas militares necesarias para hacer frente a las posibles invasiones de Inglaterra y Holanda.Conseguida la autorización de Luis XIV, llegó a Concepción en junio de 1712, donde inició sus estudios y observaciones sobre Chile. Se trasladó a Valparaíso a fines de septiembre, desde donde viajó a Santiago y a los campos adyacentes. En mayo de 1713 desembarcó en Coquimbo, visitó la ciudad de La Serena y luego la costa de Copiapó. Posteriormente viajó a Perú, donde continuó sus trabajos y regresó a Francia en 1714.
