Published by order of the Governor of the Seychelles, this work is remarkably elusive and
bibliographically obscure. It is recorded in the British Library Catalogue with its atlas, but in Toussaint
and Adolph it is recorded with only 453 pages, which suggests that the last supplement “Notes on the
Naval operations in the Indian Ocean 1800-1810, in connection with the French Establishments beyond
the Cape of Good Hope”, had not been seen by them, which we have here.
