Summary	This is Volume One of the two-volume work of John Francis Galaup de la Pérouse. The original is in French. This English translation was published in 1798, a year after the original work was published in four volumes in Paris. A French reprint came out in 1798 and the Italian edition was published in 1815. The list of plates (illustrations) is preceded by the Translator’s preface. The filipiniana part of this book commences with the last chapter, Chapter Fifteen, when the author’s group arrived in Cavita (Cavite) and journeyed towards Manila. This chapter also contains the author’s observations of the natives’ customs, the war with the Moslems, the commercial relations (tobacco, New Philippine Company), the Military State of Luconia (Luzon), etc. Aside from the table of contents and the already mentioned list of plates, are directions to the binder, the compiler’s preface and a long preliminary discourse citing a broad range of historical data by the compiler. Before Chapter One, is an interesting narrative (originally in Spanish) of “An Interesting Voyage from Manila to Saint Blaise in 1780 and 1781.” According to Retana, Pérouse’s observations were controversial at that time.
