‎Édition originale de cette relation retraçant le périple effectué en Inde, en Indonésie, en Chine et aux Philippines par Félix Rénouard de Sainte-Croix (1767-1840). Cet officier français, missionné par lEmpire pour la défense des Philippines, est emprisonné par les anglais dès son arrivée à Pondichéry en 1802. Libéré, il reste deux années supplémentaires en Inde où il visite les côtes de Coromandel et de Malabar, le Bengale, Madras, Tranquebar et Chalambron. Puis il se rend aux Philippines où il visite Manille, les mines dor de Mabulao, les provinces de Tondo, Cavite, Valangas, Bulacan, Batangas, Tayabas, Pampangue, Zambales, Pangasinan, Ylocos et Cagayan. Il poursuit son périple en passant par les îles de Babuyannes, lîle de Camarines, larchipel de Bissayes, lîle de Mindanao, les Moluques puis Macao. Dans cette colonie portugaise de Chine, il rencontre en 1807 Pierre-Jacques de La Bissachére, missionnaire français ayant séjourné plus de dix ans au Tonkin Occidental, avant de fuir les persécutions en 1798. Ce dernier lui confie ses notes sur la Chine. Après un séjour aux Etats-Unis, Rénouard regagne la France en 1809 et publie le présent ouvrage qui offre une brillante analyse du commerce local, des coutumes, lois et statistiques économiques concernant ces contrées, ainsi que des suggestions pour limiter linfluence britannique dans la région. Le volume I est essentiellement consacré à lInde alors que le volume II traite des Philippines. Quant au troisième volume, composé en partie à partir des précieuses notes de la Bissachère, il est dévolu à la Chine. 2 cartes dépliantes et 4 tableaux illustrent le propos de lauteur. Bel exemplaire, frais. 3 vol. 8vo of : x ; 301 pp. ; [2], 390 pp. ; 291 pp. ; 4 tables ; 2 folding maps. Contemp. half sheep. (Some traces of wetness in the margins of a few pages of T. 1, otherwise fresh). Scarce original edition of this work retracing the journey made in India, Indonesia, China and the Philippines by Felix Rénouard of Sainte-Croix (1767-1840). This French officer, commissioned by the Empire for the defense of the Philippines, was imprisoned by the English upon his arrival in Pondicherry in 1802. Ater being released, he spent two years in India where he visited the coasts of Coromandel and Malabar, Bengal , Madras, Tranquebar and Chalambron. Then, he went to the Philippines where he visited Manila, the gold mines of Mabulao, the provinces of Tondo, Cavite, Valangas, Bulacan, Batangas, Tayabas, Pampangue, Zambales, Pangasinan, Ylocos and Cagayan. He continued his journey through the islands of Babuyannes, the island of Camarines, the archipelago of Bissayes, the island of Mindanao, the Moluccas and Macao. In this Portuguese colony in China, he met in 1807 Pierre-Jacques La Bissachere, a French missionary who spent more than ten years in Tonkin Occidental, before fleeing persecution in 1798. The religious entrusted him with his notes on China. After a stay in the United States, Renouard returned to France in 1809 and published this book which offers a brilliant analysis of local trade, customs, laws and economic statistics concerning these countries, as well as suggestions to limit the British influence in the region. Volume I is mainly devoted to India while Volume II deals with the Philippines. As for the third volume, composed partly from the precious notes of Bissachère, it is devolved to China. 2 folding maps and 4 tables illustrate the author's intention. Fine copy.‎
