'The latest Friends’ publication emanating from the Baudin voyage is French Designs on Colonial New South Wales.

'It contains the first ever English translation of François Péron’s detailed secret report to Napoleon about the potential to invade New South Wales and make the British colony a French possession in the Pacific.

'Professor Jean Fornasiero and Associate Professor John West-Sooby of The University of Adelaide have made a superb translation of Péron’s notes. This is supported by an introduction setting the historical context and detailing the complex bibliographic history of the text.' (Publication summary)
