Bookseller’s description (original French text)
JACQUEMONT Victor
Correspondance de Victor Jacquemont avec sa famille et plusieurs de ses amis, pendant son voyage en Inde (1828-1832)
Paris: Librairie de H. Fournier, 1833, 2 volumes, reliures demi-cuir, (une petite fissure en bas d'un mors, quelques rousseurs) - Edition originale bien complète de sa carte dépliante en fin du second volume.
Victor Jacquemont, mort à Bombay au cours d'une mission scientifique, figure très attachante de voyageur, de savant et d'homme du monde. Sa correspondance, pleine de franchise, d'humour et d'esprit sceptique, mais aussi de bienveillance, n'était pas destinée à la publication. Elle est considérée comme la première relation moderne de l'Inde.
