The first French edition of the official account of Captain Michael Symes's embassy to Burma in 1795. Sent by the Governor General of India, Sir John Shore, Symes was to negotiate with the Burmese king, not only to bring stability to the eastern borders of India but also to get the Burmese ports closed to French warships. Symes was only partially successful, winning the right for a Company's agent to reside in Rangoon. Thirty years later the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-6) was a long and very costly campaign. Symes's account of his expedition was Europe's first realistic account of Burma, with illustrations of costumes, temples, the Burmese alphabet, boats and plants including an orchid.

Young Burns at the Grave of his Father. If my Son should happen to be a man of feeling, sentiment and taste, I shall thus add largely to his enjoyments. Let me flatter myself that this sweet little fellow, who is just now running about my desk, will be a man of a melting, ardent, glowing heart, and an immagination delighted with the painter, and rapt with the poet.

A Dutch trading post near Java. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.
