Relation des îles Pelew, situées dans la partie occidentale de l'Océan Pacifique, composée sur les journeaux et les communications du Capitaine Henri Wilson, et de ses Officiers, qui en août mil-sept-cent-quatre-vingt-trois, y ont fait naufrage sur l'Antelope, paquebot de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales

Chez Le Jay et Maradan, A Paris 1788, in 8 (12,5x19,5cm), (4) 282pp. et (4) 274pp. (3), 2 volumes reliés. Edition originale française in-8, parue dans le même temps que l'édition in-4. Elle est illustrée de 16 planches, dont 12 dépliantes (vues, portraits, objets) et d'une grande carte dépliante, le tout sur papier fort. Cette édition est parue la même année que l'originale anglaise, et la traduction a été revue par le Comte de Mirabeau. Reliures en pleine basane marbrée et glacée d'époque. Dos lisses ornés de 4 fleurons caissonnés. Pièces de titre en maroquin rouge, tomaisons en maroquin noir. Triple filet d'encadrement sur les plats. 2 micro coupures en tête du tome 2. Etroite fente au mors supérieur en tête du tome 1, mors inférieur fendu en tête et queue sur 4 cm. Coins émoussés, certains rognés avec manques de cuir. Ensemble frotté. Bon aspect général. L'archipel des îles Palaos est situé à l'est des Philippines, au nord de l'Indonésie, en Micronésie ; Le capitaine Georges Wilson et son équipage, au service de la Compagnie des Indes, firent naufrage sur une île proche des Palaos en 1783. L'ouvrage conte comment ils furent reçus par les indigènes et leur roi, et comment ils vécurent, jusqu'à ce que le roi leur fit construire un navire pour se rendre à Macao, tout en confiant son fils au soin du capitaine Wilson, afin que celui-ci reçut un éducation occidentale. Georges Keate, à l'aide des carnets du capitaine, a établi la narration de voyage du navire l'Antelope qui partit de Macao. L'introduction est une recherche dans la littérature de l'existence de ces îles. Le livre relate, bien évidemment, les moeurs et coutumes des habitants. A la fin du tome II, un vocabulaire de la langue Pelew. On notera avec intérêt un épisode qui montre le roi en guerre contre les habitants d'autres îles, et qui emprunta 5 hommes au capitaine pour l'accompagner à la guerre, les relations pacifiques entre les anglais et le roi tirent sûrement leur origine de ce curieux fait diplomatique. L'ouvrage connut un grand succès, certainement parce que le témoignage qu'il rendait correspondait à ce mythe du bon sauvage qui sévissait en Europe ; Paul et Virginie de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre est paru à la même date. Ex libris : Bibliothèque de C. Jameson. Au dessous chiffre en noir illisible. - Chez Le Jay et Maradan, A Paris 1788, in 8 (12,5x19,5cm), (4) 282pp. et (4) 274pp. (3), 2 volumes reliés.

XXVIII,378,(8) pp.Edition in 8vo published in the same year as the 4to edition; with armorial bookplate of colonel Cooper. - In 1783 the East India Packet Antelope under command of Henry Wilson, ran onto a reef near one of the Palau Islands, a previously unexplored group, and was wrecked. The crew reached shore and were well treated by the natives. From the wreck they built a small boat which they managed to get to Macao, taking with them Prince Lee Boo, the son of king Abba Thule. Lee Boo soon died of smallpox in England. Captain Wilson allowed Keate (1729-97) to write a faithful account of the events from Wilson's journals and communications. This account did much to reinforce the idea of the noble savage and it is one of the most popular 18th century books on the Pacific and also the main source of early knowledge of the Palau Islands, the most western group of the Caroline archipelago. Includes a vocabulary of the Pelew language. - A fine copy of the rare Dublin edition.Hill 907; Huntress 107C; Cox II, 302-303; Howgego p.1105.
