- Summary:
-
"Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardiere was one of the great traveller-naturalists of the eighteenth century. He is most famous for his account of his voyage to the South Seas with Bruny d'Entrecasteaux in 1791-93 in search of La Perouse. Labillardiere's Relation was an international bestseller in its day, helping to usher the southern continent into the European imagination." "In researching this biography, Edward Duyker revisited many of the naturalist's landfalls around the world. He also examined a wide range of archival and museum collections to piece together Labillardiere's correspondence and observations. The result is the first comprehensive study of the naturalist, revealing a committed republican who was shaped by the turbulent years of revolutionary and Napoleonic France."--BOOK JACKET.
