Ernest Scott (1867-1939) emigrated to Australia in 1892, settling
in Melbourne where he worked as a journalist. In 1913 he was
appointed Professor of History at the University of Melbourne. This
volume, first published in 1910, discusses the aims and outcome of
the survey of the south Australian coast performed by Nicholas
Baudin's French expedition between 1800 and 1804, and established
Scott's reputation as a historian. Scott traces the path of
Baudin's expedition along the then unexplored south coast of
Australia, estimating the amount of original surveying performed by
the expedition to address the accusation that the French expedition
plagiarised British surveys of the same coastline. Scott also
discusses the origins of the expedition to investigate possible
political motivations behind the survey. This detailed and
meticulously researched volume presents a valuable revised view of
Baudin's expedition.
