"Journal Du Voyage de Circumnavigation, tenu par Mr Gaimard, Chirurgien a Bord de la Corvette L'Uranie", September 1817-June 1819. A note by Gaimard implies that he continued his journal in the form of loose notebooks. These were possibly lost in the wreck of the Uranie off the Falklands. The first 60 pages of the journal were written by a clerk and contain Gaimard's record of instructions for the voyage, both general and those specific to his work as surgeon. The remainder are written by Gaimard with some marginal drawings by Jacques Arago, the expedition's official artist; extract from Hordern House catalogue Pacific voyages and exploration (1987) giving some description and history and notes on drawings by Jacques Arago.
