French naval surgeon, early 19th century.

Voyage sur la corvette l'Oreste' au nord de l'Espagne. Seconde campagne aux Indes Orientales sur la fr?gate 'La V?nus', et retour en Europe sur le parlementaire 'Le G?n?reux', ann?es 1808, 9, 10 et 11. Croisi?re de la fr?gate 'La Gloire', aux A?ores et aux Antilles, voyages en Angleterre, ? Anvers, ? Riga, et ? la Nouvelle Orl?ans, pendant les ann?es 1812, 1813, 1814, 1815 et 1816 (Incomplete). Illustrated with three inserted maps, one folding, and eleven plates of smaller format (18 x 10? cm.) in water-colour, mostly of scenes and natives in Madagascar. The account of the voyage in 1811 on board 'Le G?n?reux', where he served as 'Second Chirurgien', is in verse, with title 'Le cartel d'?change: p?eme burlesque en six chants' (pp. 171-202). The work appears to be incomplete at the end. The account of New Orleans and Louisiana is unfinished, and the last leaf, now inserted at the end of the text, was clearly part of the now missing section.
