---- Deuxième édition REVUE et AUGMENTEE ---- "During his lifetime, Linnaeus exerted an influence in his fields -botany and natural history- that has had few parallels in the history of science. Driven by indomitable ambition and aided by an incredible capacity for work, he accomplished the tremendous task that he had set for himself in his youth : the establishment of new system for the three kingdoms of nature to facilitate the description of all known animals, plants and minerals... There was at that time an urgent need for a simple and easy-to-grasp system for the plant kingdom... Since the time of Cesalpino many botanists had tried to create a useful system ; and toward the eighteenth century some of these systems had begun to win considerable support, especially those of John Ray and Tournefort, based upon the appearance of the corolla. But none was sufficiently practical, and the various systems were reciprocally competitive, thus increasing the confusion. Only Linnaeus'system, based on sexuality, had the requisite of being generally adoptable... Around 1720 the sexuality of plants was still being disputed by many botanists. Linnaeus had already learned about it from his teacher Rothman... As a student he had pursued the subject through his own investigations and soon was convinced of its truth. In Praeludia sponsaliorum plantarum (1730), he announced that the stamens and pistils were the sexual organs of plants. At the same time he began to investigate whether the stamens and pistils could be used to construct a new botanical system. After a short period of doubt he was sure that they could and in Systema naturae he presented the sexual system in its definitive form... To be sure, the system was attacked ( in Germany by Siegesbeck and Heister, in Switzerland by Haller and in France where Thournefort's system had long been generally accepted). But acceptance of the sexual system could not be halted ; it gained footing almost everywhere, especially in England, beginning in the 1760's". (DSB VIII)**3329/CART7-3333/CART5

---- "Un des meilleurs ouvrages sur le sujet après la philosophie botanique de Linné". (Jourdan) ---- Seconde édition ---- "Rousseau disait de Ludwig qu'il était, avec Linné, le seul qui eût vu la botanique en naturaliste et en philosophe. Effectivement, Ludgwig contribua guère moins à opérer une réforme salutaire dans cette science que l'illustre suédois, qui lui rendit un hommage mérité, en donnant son nom à un genre de plantes (Ludwigia) de la famille des onagraires. Ludwig établit que les genres sont l'objet le plus important dans la botanique et qu'on doit les fonder sur des caractères tirés de la fleur. C'est un des meilleurs ouvrages de ce genre après la philosophie botanique de Linné. Ludwig donne le tableau détaillé de sa méthode".

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "A REFERENCE WORK". (DSB) ---- "Pfeffer's comprehensive Pflanzenphysiologie became a well-known reference work. It presented not only a mine of information but also a view of Pfeffer's aims and philosophy as a physiologist studying fundamental life processes with plants as his subjects... Many of Pfeffer's investigations were basic to plant physiology. His work on the role of asparagine was controversial but nevertheless an advance in the study of plant metabolism when viewed in a historical context. He made extensive contributions to the study of irritability in plants by investigating the movements of leaves, the opening and closing of flowers, the influences of variations of light and of temperature, the effects of tactile stimuli and the physiology of transmission in irritability phenomena. He also studied the sleep movements of plants. Using aniline dyes, he pioneered the method of vital staining and followed the assimilation and accumulation of various dyes within the living cell...".

L'agriculture fut dès lors son occupation de tous les instants. Il y étudia l'influence du climat, des engrais et des labours sur les végétaux... Il s'efforça, par l'alliance de l'histoire naturelle, de la chimie et de la physique d'augmenter la valeur du sol qu'il exploitait. Il avait à peine ébauché ce qu'il appelait sa vie expérimentale qu'on le citait déjà comme un heureux novateur... Il succéda à Bourgelat à la direction de l'Ecole vétérinaire de Lyon... Il entreprit des études remarquables sur la vigne... Il contribua pendant dix ans à la rédaction du Journal de physique... En 1780 il acheta le domaine de Beauséjour. C'est là qu'il composa presque entièrement son Cours d'agriculture. Cet ouvrage mit le sceau à sa réputation...". (Hoefer XLII)**4604/A2

He became a highly regarded popular lecturer and writer ; indeed, he was one of the most successful popularizers of the age - no small achievement at a time when scientists like Virchow, Helmholtz, Liebig, Moleschott, Humboldt and Buchner, among others, were addressing the general public... From the time of its founding in 1857, Schleiden was an assiduous contributor to Westermann's Monatschefte, a periodical that maintained high literary and scientific standards. His lectures, delivered to vast audiences, were occasionally published in book form and met with great success. Among the best known of these collections was Die Pflanze und ihr Leben...".

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "In 1683, at the recommendation of Madame de Venelle, TOURNEFORT was chosen as substitute for Guy Fagon, professor at the Jardin du Roi in Paris. His new post required him not only to teach botany but also to enrich the holdings of live plants in the garden. He was ONE OF EUROPE'S MOST NOTED BOTANIST and had dozens of correspondents... What botany owes to TOURNEFORT is not the inventon of the iotaxonomic genus, but rather the creation of the concept of the genus in the modern sense and its first skillful application.. TOURNEFORT's conception of genus contains a fundamental new contribution that was elaborated in the work of Linnaeus, Bernard de Jussieu and Adanson... On the level of principles, TOURNEFORT contributed powerfully and brilliantly to the establishment of objectivity in taxonomy and of research methods suitable for a natural method of classification.... He payed a decisive role in the emancipation of botany from medicine...". (DSB XIII pp. 442/444)**7972/A1

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "VAUCHER'S MOST IMPORTANT WORK". (DSB) ---- "His observation and interpretation of conjugation and spore formation in algae, particularly in Ectosperma, was later renamed Vaucheria by De Candolle. Although the cell theory had not yet been developed, he drew and described the cells showing that they were bounded by separate walls and had a certain degree of independence. He showed how conjugation can occur between cells of threads lying side by side, or cells of a single thread folded over on itself, by means of the communication channel through which the contents of one cell pass to fuse with the contents of the other cell. He also showed male organs, or anthers, protruding to meet other cells and was sure that this was a sexual act, comparable to that found in higher plants and to the copulation of animals. The newly formed grains, or spores, dropped to the bottom of the ditches in which the algae were found, and in order to verify that they would germinate to give new filaments of Ectosperma in the spring he had to culture them in the laboratory, an uncommon practice at that time. He showed similar conjugation in other primitive algae, and the formation of new nets in old cells of Hydrodictyon". (DSB XIII p. 595)**5162/ARB4
