National Library Australia Canberra 1987 1st edition. 2 volumes, card covers with flaps in brown slip case. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies of which this is number 488. Very good+. Volume one reproduces the original French text of the Fragmens which was originally published in 1797 and volume two provides the translation and commentary. It includes a fold out map. Fragmens purports to reproduce the manuscript of a handwritten notebook stolen by an English sailor from on board one of La Perouse's ships in early 1788, however, it is fictional. Facsimile and Translation in two volumes.
