Voyage au Cap de Bonne-Espérance, et autour du monde avec le capitaine Cook, et principalement dans le pays des Hottentots et des Caffres. Traduit par M. le Tourneur.

Paris, Buisson, 1787.2 volumes. 4to. Contemporary mottled calf, spines richly gilt in compartments with green morocco title- and volume-labels. With large folding engraved map, full-page engraved view of the Cape of Good Hope, and 15 engraved plates (4 folding). XXI,(3),478; 462 pp.
¶ First French edition. - Sparrman (1748-1820), a Swedish naturalist, went to South Africa with the Swedish East India Company. He made several excursions into the country in search of natural history specimens. It is described by Mr. Theal as the 'most trustworthy account of the Cape Colony and the various races of people then residing in it' that had been published in the eightheenth century. In 1772, J.R. Forster, engaged him to accompany Captain Cook on his second voyage as assistant naturalist. His account includes mention of a hairbreath escape from collision of Cook's two ships, the Adventure and the Resolution, not recorded elsewhere. Sparrman left the Resolution when it returned to Cape Town in March 1775. He resumed his naturalist studies in South Africa and also undertook ethnological research among the region's native Hottentot people. In 1778, Sparrman was back in Sweden, where he had been appointed president of the natural history collection of Stockholm's Academy of Sciences. Sparrman's account of Cook's voyage of 1772-75 helped popularize the newly devised Linnaen system of classification and nomenclature by applying it to the new varieties of plants and animals he had collected. It also includes some of the earliest ethnological studies of the native peoples of South Africa. - Except browning of the index leaves in volume II, an excellent copy.Mendelssohn II p.414-15; SAB IV, p.361; Beddie 1279; Du Rietz, Kroepelien, 1223; Boucher de la Richarderie IV, p.234, with very large annotation.
