The first English edition was published in 1775, this being the second edition. Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737 – 1814) was a French writer and botanist who travelled between 1768 and 1771 to the Isle of Bourbon. In an attractive contemporary calf the spine carefully rebacked in brown calf with a black leather label, some missing calf to boards repaired, a very nice fresh copy. [Mendelssohn: II, 263]
