Charles Marie de La Condamine was an 18th-century French explorer who studied the geography. A French-Spanish expedition was sent to South America and the Arctic region in 1735, to determine the size and shape of the earth. The two expeditions proved that the earth is flattened at the Poles. La Condamine, a scientist on the expedition, returned home by crossing Brazil via the Amazon making it
'the first scientific exploration of the Amazon… The greatest geographical event of the eighteenth century as regards South America" (Hill).
"A very useful abridgment of this indispensable work, entirely satisfactory for nearly all purposes" (Goodman).
This first English edition of Condamine's 'Journal,' was officially published as a complete account in 1751 with a supplement in 1752, but the initial French printings of this abridgement were published in 1745 and 1746 with translations soon following.

Boards are rubbed, scuffed and soiled and most of the gilt spine titles and red band backgrounds have faded. Corners are bumped. Volume two's rear board and volume eight's front board have seperated from the spine but have a very clean break and could be reattached with some basic rebinding. Raised spine ribs. Endpapers and title pages show minor browning with age, but all other pages are clean and bright for their age. Indexes at the rear of the texts.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping on this set. Extra charges for sending the set will be added to the order after shipping to match the actual cost of mailing.
