Toussaint D.96. This Supplement to Bougainville, is the first French account of Cooks first voyage, was pirated from the unofficial account published by Becket in London a year earlier. However this edition does contain two additions not in the English editions. The first pp. 251-86, a letter by Philibert Commerson who had accompanied Bougainville. He was the naturalist who had collected a colourful unkown plant and introduced it into Mauritius and named it in honor of his Commander, Bougainvillaea. He has been called the Father of Mauritian Botany. This letter is about Madagscar, Réunion & Mauritius and appears never to have been reprinted. The other by “M. le B. de G. Au sujet de la possibilité d’un passage de la mer duNord ou Océan atlantique, dans la mer du Sud ou pacifique, par les mers septentrionales” pp. 287-362. Beaglehole in his Textual Introduction to Cook’s First Voyage presents from the handful of people who could have written this Journal a remarkably tight case for James Magra. Of the texts connected with this famous first voyage, it is the only one that shows any animosity towards Cook. It was recorded by Cook that he suspected Magra of being behind an ugly prank on Richard Orton the captain’s clerk, who one night in a blind stupor had his clothes cut off him and parts of his ears amputated. Cook dismissed Magra the Quarter deck “to show my immediate resentment against the person on whome the suspicion fell least they should not have stopped there.” He later reinstated him. Another pointer to the authorship is in the text referring to New Zealand, mentions that there are “sweet potatoes, like those of Carolina.” Magra was an American, born in New York. The first Becket and de Hondt edition was published in London within two months of the return of the Endeavour containing a flattering dedication to Banks and Solander, but after protests this was withdrawn. The Dublin edition, issued a year later, contains this surpressed dedication. 693. BOYAJIAN (Zabelle C.) In Greece with Pen and Palette, ep maps, 15 coloured plates, 1938 [10788] £25 694.
