Outer covers to Voyage de découvertes aux Terres Australes : Navigation et géographie. Contemporary boards with original pink papered edges and spine, with original paper spine label, which includes abbreviated title. Title translates to: Voyage to the Southern Territories : Navigation. Outer covers protect volume, which is bound in marbled wrappers. Volume, tucked within outer covers, is housed in a contemporary slip cover, with opening decorated in original pink papers., The rare complete official narrative and hydrography of the great French voyage of the Napoleonic period, the Baudin-Freycinet Expedition. The voyage has been characterized as the last great Enlightenment voyage, and was perhaps its purest expression, combining as it did scientific curiosity and research, territorial and geopolitical ambition, and the spirit of inquiry on the widest scale. As the first full atlas of the Australian coastline, its cartographical contribution is of extraordinary value, with a navigational section charting the coast. It is among the finest items of Australiana ever published, recounting an outstanding exploration. The six volumes were published separately over a period of ten years, commencing in 1816. In this complete form, the journals are exceedingly rare. 
The expedition was ordered by the French government in order to complete the cartographic survey of the Australian coast, covering the area not examined by Cook. Commanded by Nicolas Baudin, the crew was composed of twenty-two scientists, ranging from hydrographers, geographers and astronomers to zoologists, botanists and 'artiste-peintres’. The expedition left France in 1800 and sailed via Mauritius to the Western Australian coast in the region of Cape Leeuwin, arriving in May 1801. Peron sailed as naturalist on the expedition and Freycinet as cartographer. The vessels, Geographe and Naturaliste, sailed north from Cape Leeuwin, charting the mouth of the Swan River, the site of present day Perth.  After three months in Timor, the two ships set out for Tasmania, continuing to make surveys and a close study of the indigenous Tasmanian people and their material culture.  The expedition continued on to New South Wales, creating a fine panorama of the town of Sydney, as well as views and a town plan. They then undertook a complete survey of the southern coast and an examination of the northern coast before returning to Mauritius where, near the end of 1803, Baudin died. The voyage brought back to France a wealth of geographical information.  The cartography of the voyage was of crucial interest. The French exploration coincided with the the English circumnavigation of Mathew Flinders. The two expeditions famously met up at the consequently named Encounter Bay in South Australia. With Flinders' subsequent imprisonment by the French, his captors were first into print with their mapping of Australia, the great Hydrographical Atlas appearing in 1812, two years before the publication of Flinders' narrative and charts, and thus the first full Australian atlas, a remarkable achievement for visitors rather than settlers. (See Flinders atlas in the collection under Pub List No. 10745.000.)
 
The expedition narration was begun by Peron, and completed by Freycinet after Peron's death.  A tacit agreement between Peron and Freycinet, both of whom disliked Baudin, kept the commander's name mostly absent from the present official account of the expedition.  The narrative includes the first publication of a complete and fully detailed map of the Australian coastline. It is a cartographic milestone, artfully done, exemplifying the French artistry of the time.  The southern coast is almost entirely named "Terre Napolean," indicating France's colonial ambitions. Highlights of the numerous plates and maps (many hand-colored) include an engraved portrait of Peron, done within days of his death; coastlines of Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland, as well as two folding panoramic views of Sydney and Timor. Also included are nautical charts, coastal profiles, views and plans of Sydney, as well as detailed charts of harbors and islands around Australia, Tasmania and Timor. Complete set comprised of two volumes of historical text, two volumes of plates, including portraits and views, one volume of navigation text describing the voyage, and one atlas (see further details below). Together, the six volumes contain 87 plates, comprised of 61 maps, 39 views, 13 portraits and 13 illustrations. Maps shows cities, routes, ports, topography, vegetation, drainage, coastline, shoals, anchorage and islands. Maps include latitudinal and longitudinal lines, as well as legends, bar scales, compass roses and explanatory notes. Engravings, some hand-colored. In addition to the maps, views offer further detail of specific locations, such as the tombs on Maria Island, in the Tasman Sea. Details include flora and fauna, as well as indigenous people, along with their shelters. Ethnographic portraits beautifully capture indigenous individuals of Tasmanian and New South Wales, replete with their names, dress and ornamentation. Illustrations provide close studies of indigenous accoutrements, including baskets, vases, jewelry, weapons and fishing gear. Additional illustrations show animals of the continent, such as kangaroos, platypus and wombats. Most volumes in the original pink papered boards, with gilded titles, and with some pages still uncut.

Gilded spine title., La démographie figurée de la France, by Louis-Adolphe Bertillon and published in Paris by G. Masson, 1874. Statistical atlas of France. Title translates to: The figurative demography of France or statistical study of the French population with graphic tables reflecting the main conclusions. Mortality by age, sex and marital status, in each department and for the whole of France compared to foreign countries. Bound in board covered with marbled papers, and including gilded spine title. Collation: [1], 4 pages, LVIII plates, [LIX]-LXIV pages. 58 plates comprised of 40 maps and 17 charts. Maps and charts show mortality rates amongst the French population, distinguishing according to sex, age, marital status and location within the country and beyond. Maps indexed, with keys for each in margins. Maps include legends, explanatory notes and descriptive text. Early data visualization represents a dense amount of statistics through simple imagery. Black and white lithographs. Atlas includes an introduction and table of contents, as well as a summary and conclusion following. In addition, a subscription form tucked within the volume provides a letter from the author regarding the work. From the book seller: "this work in an imposing format, with its 56 x 44 cm plates, is a major milestone in the emergence of modern demographic analysis. Financed by the author, its publication was preceded by a long subscription campaign. An extremely rare subscription form (4 p.) is attached here. The maps and tables deal exclusively with mortality ("3rd series"). Louis-Adolphe Bertillon had announced the publication of other volumes concerning births ("1st series") and marriages ("2nd series"); they never appeared. Map I highlights the excess infant mortality in the rural departments near Paris, which are richer than the rest of the province. Bertillon sees this as a consequence of the nannying of Parisian babies, against which he campaigns."

Covers: Black marbled paper covered boards with title "Cuvier Essai sur la geographie" on spine., Essay on the mineralogical geography of the surroundings of Paris, in 278 pages, with 3 folded plates including map, cross sections and view. Includes half title. Folded map: Carte geognostique des environs de Paris, dated 1810. Originally published in Annales du museum d'histoire naturelle de Paris, tom. XI, 1808 (p. 293-326); reissued in 1811 with new preface. Bound in black marbled paper covered boards with title "Cuvier Essai sur la geographie" on spine. Perhaps the earliest geological map., For full text of this book https://books.google.com/books?id=TvM0AQAAMAAJ&pg=PP6#v=twopage&q&f=false, John Henry, French Geological Maps, Nov 25, 2018 "The first truly geological map is, arguably, the 1810 Carte Géognostique des Environs de Paris by Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) and Alexandre Brongniart (1770-1847). Despite the géognostique of the title, it is much more than a distribution map of mines and quarries as were its precursors. It was published in Cuvier and Brongniart’s 1811 report, Essai sur la Géographie Minéralogique des Environs de Paris. Carte Géognostique des Environs de Paris, 1810 This includes detailed sections and describes the deposits as alternating marine and brackish water environments on the basis of fossil evidence. They recognised that sea levels and or land levels fluctuated. That is, there is a representation of the third dimension and an appreciation of geological time, the fourth dimension. It is probable that Cuvier and Brongniart were aware of William Smith's contemporary work in England, as Brongniart visited London in 1803 during the interval in the Napoleonic Wars made possible by the Treaty of Amiens. He met Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) who, as an early subscriber to Smith’s as yet unpublished map, was certainly aware of Smith’s original concept and would have discussed this exciting development."

Second fascicle; third is missing. Looseleaf light green paper wraps, These 30 maps were made by Vorzet to accompany Louis Phillipe d'Orleans' (Comte de Paris) multivolume "Histoire de la Guerre Civile en Amérique". The set includes two (of three) of the original fascicle covers (this was issued in parts, and often bound later). The first fascicle was from 1874. The fascicles were issued to accompany vols. 1-2, 3-4. and 5-6 respectively of the "Histoire." The Comte de Paris was a pretender to the throne of France, and expatriate, working as an aide-de-camp to the Union Gen. George MacClellan (McClellan). He eventually settled in England. Pub Date is the latest date of the maps published over time for this series. Looseleaf in two (of the original three) paper light green fascicles. Maps are color; chromolithographs. The atlas was provided for digitization by Joel Kovarsky, and has since been donated to the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library of the University of Virginia.

This is the fourth edition of the 1834 Brue map showing Jedidiah Smith's routes in the west. Although Picquet says this 1839 edition is augmented from the 1834, I can find no changes between the two. Wheat calls the 1834 edition "one of the foundation stones of western mapping history." Jedidiah Smith's geography in the Great Basin and California is shown, based on a letter of Smith describing his journeys published in the Nouvelles Annales de Voyages, Paris 1828 (Wheat). Two insets show the environs of Mexico City and Vera Cruz, and the Yucatan. Texas is still shown as a part of Mexico. Under the title Picquet has added his name as publisher; Picquet acquired all Brue's maps from his widow in 1835. There was a second edition in 1835, and a third in 1837. Wheat does not mention this fourth edition. Map is hand painted in outline color, dissected into 21 sections and mounted on linen. Map folds into loose marbled paper wrappers and then into a marbled paper covered slip case with a red label stamped with "Mexique" in gilt.
