Édition originale composée par le marin et hydrographe toulonnais, Joseph-Bernard de Chabert (1724-1805) qui participa à la guerre d'Indépendance des États-Unis en tant que chef d'escadre. Le 1er avril 1748, il est nommé Enseigne de vaisseau , chargé par ordre du Roi d un voyage d études et de reconnaissances scientifiques dans l Amérique septentrionale qu il effectue de 1750 à 1751 sur la Mutine après deux années de préparation. Au cours de cette mission, il calcule la latitude et la longitude des positions caractéristiques et établit les relevés hydrographiques de toutes les côtes et îles parcourues, et teste un chronomètre de marine.  La relation qu'il donne de son voyage en Amérique septentrionale, fut fortement recommandée a l'époque par la commission de l'Académie des Sciences qui invita les futurs explorateurs à la considérer comme travail de référence. Le Ministre de la marine en subventionna la publication et en réserva 200 exemplaires pour lui-même. On y trouve effectivement le relevé hydrographique de la cote Est le plus exact qui avait été fait jusqu'alors. 4° , full contempary calf , First edition composed by the sailor and hydrographer from Toulon, Joseph-Bernard de Chabert (1724-1805) who took part in the War of Independence of the United States as a squadron commander. On April 1, 1748, he was appointed Enseigne de vessel, charged by order of the King with a voyage of study and scientific reconnaissance in North America which he carried out from 1750 to 1751 on the Mutine after two years of preparation. During this mission, he calculates the latitude and longitude of the characteristic positions and determines the hydrographic readings of all the coasts and islands traveled, and tests a marine chronometer. The report he gives of his trip to North America was strongly recommended at the time by the commission of the Academy of Sciences, which invites future explorers to consider it as a reference work. The Minister of the Navy subsidizes its publication and reserves 200 copies for himself. There is actually the most accurate hydrographic survey of the east coast that had been done until then.…

Couverture rigide. De Imprimerie Royale | à Paris 1753 | 20 x 26 cm | relié | Édition originale, imprimée à Paris par l'Imprimerie royale en 1753, illustrée d'une vignette de titre, de six cartes dépliantes et de deux planches également dépliantes consacrées aux observations astronomiques (positions du soleil et de la lune, diagrammes).Les cartes représentent notamment les côtes de l'Acadie et de l'Île Royale, le golfe du Saint-Laurent, le port de Canseau, les côtes sud-est de l'Île Royale, le port de Chibouctou et la pointe sud-est de l'Acadie. Précieux exemplaire de présent aux armes et au chiffre de Louis XV. Reliure de l'époque en pleine basane brune marbrée et glacée, dos à nerfs orné du chiffre royal répété, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, plats frappés des armes dorées de Louis XV dans un triple encadrement de filets. Deux compartiments du dos restaurés, avec légère atteinte au chiffre, restauration en queue ainsi qu'aux mors et aux coins. Jeune enseigne de vaisseau formé à l'astronomie sur ordre du ministre de la Marine, Joseph-Bernard de Chabert est chargé en 1750, à la demande de La Galissonière, alors responsable du Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine, de reprendre depuis Louisbourg les levés hydrographiques des côtes de l'Acadie, de l'Île Royale et des approches de Terre-Neuve, les cartes alors en usage se révélant insuffisamment exactes. Durant plus d'une année, malgré des conditions de navigation particulièrement difficiles, il parcourt les rivages jusqu'au cap Sable et à l'île de Sable, réalisant l'un des relevés hydrographiques les plus précis de son temps pour cette partie de l'Amérique du Nord. Ses travaux corrigent notamment de façon décisive la représentation de la Nouvelle-Écosse, dont il établit que la longueur avait été surestimée de quinze à vingt lieues sur les cartes antérieures. Publié en 1753 grâce au soutien du ministre de la Marine, qui se réserva deux cents exemplaires de l'ouvrage pour les besoins de son administration, le volume se divise en deux parties : le récit du voyage de Brest à Louisbourg et des quatre campagnes hydrographiques conduites sur les côtes voisines, puis l'exposé détaillé des observations astronomiques et des calculs ayant permis d'établir cette nouvelle cartographie. La qualité scientifique de ces travaux valut à Chabert les éloges de la commission de l'Académie royale des sciences chargée de les examiner, qui les recommanda comme modèle aux futurs navigateurs. Le 2 mai 1754, il fut fait chevalier de l'ordre royal et militaire de Saint-Louis en récompense de ses services. Sa carrière se poursuivit jusqu'à sa nomination comme vice-amiral des armées navales le 1?? janvier 1792, avant son émigration consécutive à la Révolution, puis son retour en France en 1802, où il reçut, à titre honorifique, la dignité de doyen des amiraux de la marine française. À la fois ouvrage fondateur de l'hydrographie française en Amérique du Nord et remarquable témoignage de la politique scientifique conduite par la Marine sous Louis XV, cet exemplaire de présent, conservé dans sa reliure armoriée d'origine, illustre la diffusion officielle des travaux jugés essentiels par la Couronne. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, printed by the Imprimerie Royale in Paris in 1753, illustrated with an engraved title vignette, six folding maps and two further folding plates devoted to astronomical observations (positions of the sun and moon, together with explanatory diagrams).

All edges red. , Text in French.Jacques Cassini (1677?1756) was a French astronomer, son of the famous Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini. Jacques Cassini is most famous for extending the Paris meridian, a meridian line running through the Paris Observatory in Paris?now longitude 2°20?14.02500? East. It was a long-standing rival to the Greenwich meridian as the prime meridian of the world.Admitted at the age of seventeen to membership of the French Academy of Sciences, in 1696 Cassini was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London (the UK?s national academy of sciences). In 1718, Cassini extended the Paris meridian, measuring the arc of the meridian from Dunkirk to Perpignan, succeeding in this feat some 130 years before George Airy calculated the Greenwich meridian in 1851. Cassini presented this work in the Histoire de l?Academie des Sciences, and in 1722 he published his results in the important work De la Grandeur et de la Figure de la Terre included in the present volume, ?in which he confirmed his support for the hypothesis of the elongation of the terrestrial ellipsoid and opposed that of its flattening, which was defended by the supporters of Newton and Huygens" (DSB). In 1884, the International Meridian Conference in Washington D.C. adopted the Greenwich meridian as the prime meridian of the world, although the French continued to use the Paris meridian until the early twentieth century.Joseph-Bernard de Chabert-Cogolin (1724?1805) was a French naval officer, geographer, and astronomer, most noted for his contributions in correcting naval charts of America?s western coast and the coasts of the Mediterranean. Following family tradition, de Chabert-Cogolin joined the navy as a midshipman in 1741, ?where he displayed an interest in science and a talent for drawing charts that brought him to the attention of the minister of Marine.? de Chabert-Cogolin gained experience in conducting surveys and geographical observations that helped improve and correct navigational charts. ?In June 1751 he departed for Cape Sable at the southern extremity of Nova Scotia to determine its latitude and longitude and then coasted along the shore. At the conclusion of his survey, he discovered the length of Nova Scotia to be about 15 to 20 leagues shorter than was shown on contemporary charts. The following month he successfully located Sable Island, and in August he chartered the southern coast of Newfoundland from Cape Ray to Cape Race.? The results of de Chabert-Cogolin?s surveys of the coasts of Northern America were published in the work included in this volume. ?The work is [divided] in two parts: the first is an abridgement of his journal accompanied by charts; the second is devoted to his astronomical observations. It contained the most accurate hydrographic survey of the east coast that had yet been made, and the ministry of Marine subsidized publication by taking 200 copies for its own use. In 1754 de Chabert-Cogolin was made a knight of the order of Saint-Louis as a reward for his services and two years later he was promoted lieutenant.?, Size : Quarto (253x197 mm). , A fine example of this volume containing Cassini?s significant research the Paris meridian, considered for some time to be the prime meridian of the world; bound with de Chabert-Cogolin?s survey of the coasts of Northern America. de Chabert-Cogolin?s work is illustrated with a vignette on the title in addition to 8 folding copper-engraved maps and charts, including the important map entitled ?Carte Reduite des Costes de l?Acadie de l?Isle Royale, et de la Partie Meridionale de l?Isle de Terre-Neuve,? which displays the coasts of Acadia (t.…

First Edition of "the most accurate hydrographic survey of the east coast that had yet been made." (DCB) The author, a French naval officer, was appointed in 1750 to continue the charting of the coasts of Acadia which he had begun in 1746, for the purpose of revising the defectiveness of existing French charts of the region. The present work recounts his voyage from Brest to Louisbourg and his four expeditions to the neighbouring coasts and islands, and records his charting, with astronomical observations, of the principal points of Acadia, Isle Royale, and Newfoundland. Publication of the report was subsidized by the Ministry of Marine, who ordered two hundred copies for its own use. The work was "highly praised by the commission appointed by the French Academy of Science to examine it, and [was] recommended as a model to future navigators". (Sabin) In recognition of his services, Chabert was made a knight of the order of Saint-Louis in 1754, and two years later, was promoted lieutenant. Bell C223. Brunet I 27. Dionne II 489.
