VIII, 356 pp. con ill. n.t.; (8) 428 pp. con ill. n.t. , Questo studio pionieristico ha esaminato e correlato i viaggi degli esploratori francesi nel Pacifico: la loro pianificazione iniziale, i problemi incontrati, le loro scoperte e il loro contributo alla navigazione, alla geografia, all'antropologia e alla scienza.
