Some foxing, one section uncropped.

A fine copy, as issued, of Kerguélen's account of his North Atlantic expedition where he became familiar with sailing in the cold seas, first in 1767 with the corvette La Folle, following French cod fishermen, then the following year with the corvette L'Hirondelle. In 1768, he brought back two polar bear cubs for King Louis XV's menagerie.
