= Sabin 38969; Ferguson 295; cat. NHSM, I, p.141. Dutch translation of the imaginary Découvertes dans la mer de sud. Cf. Forbes 285, Kroepelien 283 and Imaginary Voyages 62, all listing the first French edition published in 1798. "The disappearance of La Pérouse led to intense speculation in France, and many writers used the mystery as the catalyst for fantastic Utopian accounts of the crew's possible survival in the South Seas. This work claims to be printed from a letter written by a French traveller who, in 1793, joins a Portuguese expedition of four vessels to the South Seas. Although much of the book is dedicated to the description of a Utopian community composed of refugees from the French Revolution and the Terror, it also sets out to explain the mysterious disappearance of La Pérouse, missing since at least 1790."
