Original edition of this important scientific relationship due to the French astronomer Guillaume Joseph Hyacinthe Jean-Baptiste The Gentil of the Galaisière (1725-1792). The latter embarked on the order of the Academy of Sciences for India to observe the passage of Venus on the disk of the Sun. He left Brest on March 26, 1760 aboard the Berryer, a vessel of fifty guns of the East India Company, and arrived on July 10 at the Ile-de-France (Mauritius), hoping to find another ship that would sail for India. Unable to reach Pondicherry because of the conflict with the English, he made some observations in Mauritius and decided to wait for the next passage of Venus eight years later. Thus his scientific journey will last in the end eleven and a half years. He then makes the most of his long stay and travels through India and the Indian Ocean from Madagascar to Manila, collecting specimens of natural sciences, geographical positions or ethnological evidence to study the tides, monsoons, natural history, astronomy and Indian religion. His work contains many valuable information on Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion and the Philippines, details on the mornings of the Indians on the Coromandel coast, on the astronomy of the Brahms, astronomical observations made in Pondicherry, remarks on navigation through the Strait of Malacca. He managed to reach Pondicherry where the governor had him build an observatory to which Le Gentil will devote himself more than a year. The rich iconography of the book consists of 27 engraved plates and maps dedicated to the collected information and its astronomical observations. Minimal age tanning to the closed text block edges and a Very Good clean and sound condition set. Member of the P.B.F.A. MAURITIUS (Mascarenhas).
