Having enlisted at the age of 15, he had a successful naval career and in 1785 was appointed to lead a scientific expedition around the world. Voyage de La Pérouse autour du monde, 1–4 (Paris, 1797). These volumes are still used for cartographic and scientific information about the Pacific. My husband told me that it is said that on the day King Louis the 16th was killed he asked, » is there any news from Laperouse? »
