From the Web: Duhaut-Cilly, Auguste Bernard (1790-1849), early French explorer born in St Malo, France 1790. As commander of the French ship, Le Heros, Duhaut-Cilly sailed from Le Havre to establish trade with the Canary Islands and California. He stopped in several California ports during 1827-28. After his return, Duhaut-Cilly published his Voyage autour du Monde. principalement à la Californie et aux Iles Sandwich, pendant les années 1826, 1827, 1828, et 1829 (Paris, 1834-1835), much of it written on board ship while the events were unfolding. That French edition is so rare that only about a dozen copies are thought to have survived, and Duhaut-Cilly became better known through an 1841 Italian edition. His account of California in 1827 and 1828 is 108 pages. Paul-Émile Botta (1802 - 1870) was an Italian-born French scientist who served as Consul in Mosul (then in the Ottoman Empire, now in Iraq) from 1842, and who discovered the ruins of the ancient Assyrian capital of Dur-Sharrukin. "First published in French in 1834-35; this Italian edition is the second overall. Botta, the translator, served as physician and naturalist on the voyage. The account of Bernard du Hautcilly (also listed under Duhaut-Cilly) was the first description derived from a commercial enterprise, which although a financial failure, ""resulted in the first foreign account of Spanish California by a literate and observant French trader, who, while trying to sell his goods, visited most of the missions, presidios, and pueblos of Alta California and wrote the best contemporary account of the region..."" - Hill. The engraved plates depict Oahu, Monterey, Fort Ross, and the Mission of San Luis Rey. Cowan p.186; Howes D547; Hill p.24; Zamorano 80 #31.
