First Edition. 8vo. 2 vol., plates. This is the edition ascribed to the Jefferson collection by all the Library of Congress catalogues,
subsequent to that of 1815, which distinguish the books from Jefferson’s library. In these catalogues the entry is placed
in Geography--General, and not in Geography--America, as in the Jefferson manuscripts, and the Library of Congress catalogue of 1815. Jefferson’s entry as above is exactly the same in his undated manuscript catalogue, where it is similarly classified under America with the addition of the price,
12.0. The second edition printed in Berne in 1783, was issued in 3 volumes,
and, in view of Jefferson’s entries, followed by the Library of Congress
catalogue of 1815, it seems probable that the second edition rather than
the
first was in his library.

Pierre François Marie, Vicomte de Pagès, 1748-1793, entered the Royal Marines at the age of nineteen, and immediately resolved on a voyage of discovery round the
world. His service taking him to St. Domingo in 1767, he there made the necessary preparations for his voyage, and on June
30 set sail from Cap-Francais for Louisiana, arriving in New Orleans on July 28. He travelled for four years, and landed in
Marseilles in 1771. His accounts of his travels is considered one of the more authentic, and he is credited with describing
only such things as he actually saw himself.
