Souvenirs d’un Aveugle. Voyage autour du monde.

This is the third and most complete edition of the voyage undertaken aboard the corvette Uranie, commanded by Louis de Freycinet, between 1817 and 1820. The expedition led navigators from the Canary Islands to Brazil, then from New Holland to New Guinea and the Sandwich Islands. The work is enhanced with 60 beautifully colored and gummed drawings, scientific notes, and black portraits of Jacques and François Arago.

The author, because "the traveler who visits distant regions has only too much difficulty inspiring confidence in men always disposed to attack," included at the end of the fourth volume "vocabularies of some of the peoples we visited."
