First Dutch edition. - 'The object of this voyage was to take reinforcements to
Kamchatka, but exploration was also intended, and a number of scientists were on
board, including the physicist H.F.E. Lenny and the physician and naturalist Johann F.
Eschscholtz. The expedition sailed to Brazil, then went by way of Cape Horn to
Chile, Tahiti, Pitcairn Island, Tonga, Navigator's Islans, Radack, and thence to
Kamchatka. The voyage also visited California, with its new Russian settlement; the
Marianas; and the Philippines. With the completion of Kotzebue's explorations, the
main features of the northwest coastline of America were fairly well established. This
work was originally published in Russian at St. Petersburg, 1828' (Hill 946). - Rare
