- Notes: first edition. "Part way through his voyage, La Pérouse sent Baron de Lesseps overland from Petropavlovski to Europe, with letters and the journals of the expedition. His journey was a very difficult one... but he succeeded, and to him we owe the survival of many of the most important documents of the ill-fated expedition"--Hill 1010; Sabin 40208; Howes L270.
