This volume provides an English translation of "The Pacific Journal of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville". Although Bougainville published an account of his voyage in 1771, and there had been wide interest and controversy in Europe following reports of his reception in Tahiti and life on the island, the journal itself was not published until 1977. This volume is published with extensive editorial notes and a full explanatory introduction. The journals of other participants in the expedition are included. The "Pacific Journal" follows Bougainville's progress across the Pacific and northwards via the Soloman Islands and New Guinea, endeavouring to complete the inadequate charts of the time and leaving his name to a number of features, the best known of which is Bougainville Island.
