‎The not common second printing of the French translation of William Dampier famous ""A New Voyage Round the World"". After impressing the Admiralty with his book 'A New Voyage Round the World' (First published in 1697), Dampier was given command of a Royal Navy ship and made important discoveries in Western Australia, before being court-martialled for cruelty. On a later voyage he rescued Alexander Selkirk, a former crewmate who may have inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.""Dampier was the best known of the famous group of English bucanneers that tormented the Spaniards in the South Sea from 1680 to 1720. (...) It was on one of [his] trips that the first landing was made by the English on the Australian mainland, at the entrance of King Sound on the northwest coast, in 1688 "" (Hill)Sabin, 18383Hill pp 77-78.‎
