Baron Jean de Reuilly (1780-1810), traveller, explorer of the Crimea and the Black Sea. In the Préface to "Voyage." he writes: "Ce que quelques voyageurs ont écrit sur la Crimée, est incomplet et déjà veilli. Pour former le tableau que j'en voulais donner, je n'ai pas cru devoir me priver du secours des observations faites avant moi (.) j'ai rendu compte des changements que la Crimée a éprouvés depuis son occupation par les Russes (.) La forme du voyage en Egypte et en Syrie de M. Volney, m'ayant paru réunir plusieurs avantages, je l'ai adoptée." In 1807 the work appeared in English as "Travels in the Crimea, and along the shores of the Black Sea, performed in the year 1803". ~ The second work in this volume, "Description du Tibet", is the rare First French Edition. It was translated by Reuilly from the original German of Peter Simon Pallas, commonly without accrediting this to him. The original was published in 1776 as part of "Sammlungen historischer nachrichten über die Mongolischen Völkerschaften". The French translation was the first time this work appeared separate from the larger work. It was published in Paris in 1808 by Bossange, Masson et Besson, same publishers who published "Voyage.". ~ Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811) was a German zoologist and botanist who worked in Russia after being appointed to professor of natural history in St. Petersburg. He travelled and wrote extensively. Cordier, Sinica, 2879; Lust 207. For a lengthy analysis of Reuilly's work and life see: "Biographie universelle, ancienne et moderne" vol. 37 (Paris, 1824).

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. First separate edition and first printing in French, 8vo, uncut, fine in contemporary wrappers, with fold-down box of grey paper on boards, lettered in silver; pp. xii+89 including half-title, engraved title-page vignette. Rare. The only separate printing of Pallas' journey to Tibet on his first expedition through the Russian Empire and Northern Asia 1768-1769, translated from Vol. I and III of the first edition, in German, published in 3 vols. in St. Petersburg 1771-76 ['Reisen durch verschiedene Provinzen des russischen Reichs']. The text was not printed in the first or second French editions 1788-1793 and 1794. Reuilly's introduction notes his "some years in Tibet and Kashmir, and English possessions in India" and confirms that this portion of Pallas's travels through the Russian Empire was not included in the French edition. This separate printing is extensively annotated with Reuilly's comments on Tibet, including the missions of Bogle and Stewart, Georgi, and Andrade's account of 1795 on Bogle, Turner and Pourunguir, and on Tibet-Britain-China relations, and his own observations along with those of other writers on Tibet. He further discusses the route of the Anadyr River and Mongolia-Tibet relations. Cordier 727. Yakushi 1994, P32.

With an engraved illustration on title page by Duplessis-Bertaux. Very rare first French edition of a description of Tibet by Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811), translated by Baron Jean de Reuilly (1780-1810?), explorer of the Crimea and the Black Sea. The original work by Pallas was entitled ?Sammlungen historischer Nachrichten über die Mongolischen Völkerschaften?, first published in 1776. Pp. 1-54 are devoted to the description of Tibet according to accounts of Tibetan Lamas established among the Mongols; the second part of the work is dedicated to a report of the celebrations and ceremonies during the period from 22 June until 12 July 1729, in the small village Ourga, to celebrate the rebirth of Koutoukhta, one of the most distinguished priests of Mongolia. During the long reign of Catherine II, Russia became increasingly receptive to Western science, technology, and culture. In 1767, Catherine II called the celebrated German naturalist and explorer Peter Simon Pallas to a professorship in natural history at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. This work is dedicated to the Orientalist Langlès, 'Membre de l' Institut, Conservateur des manuscrits orientaux de la Bibliothèque Impériale, Professeur de Persan'.
