Volume 19 contains 14 documents from 1818, plus extracts from four books about the Freycinet Expedition of 1819, with 50 illustrations. The French scientific expedition led by Captain Freycinet was the most thorough to visit Micronesia ever. Its 12-volume official report includes information about life there up to 1819: history, anthropology, sociology, native customs, industry, commerce, flora and fauna, linguistics, etc. Captain Freycinet's narrative is given in full; it includes special reports by many of his officers, notably Lamarche, Berard, Doctors Quoy and Gaimard. Also included are letters of his wife, who was part of the crew, and the letters of Jacques Arago, the artist. Arago's book is also reproduced; it is a poetic rendering that reads like a historical novel.
