Provenance: with the bookplate of the Warren H. Corning Collection of Horticultural Classics on the front paste-down. First French edition of Johann Andreas Murray's 13th edition of Linnaeus' "Systema naturae", first published by Murray in 1774. A student of Linneaus in Uppsala between 1756 and 1759, he wrote an introduction called "Regnum vegetabile" [or, 'The Vegetable Kingdom']. First published in Leiden in 1735, the first edition of "Systema naturae" had only twelve pages, and with each new edition new plant and animal species were added. The 13th edition was published in 1770 and more than 2000 pages. The work presented a revolutionary way to classify the three kingdoms in nature: the animal, the plant, and stones. Each kingdom was subdivided into classes, orders, genera, species, and varieties. Linnaeus's classification system has survived in biology, though additional ranks, such as families, have been added to accommodate growing numbers of species. Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish naturalist and explorer, was the first scientist to propose principles for defining the genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them: binomial nomenclature. His system was so successful that it is still used today for naming new species of plants and animals.

Catalog clipping, ink stamp of the Gloucestershire County Library completed in manuscript "580 / a / H 4 F12", bookplate of Gloucestershire's The Hartland Library, and manuscript bibliographical notes to the verso of a tipped in ink letter from a Mrs. Griffiths to a Mr. Hastley to the front pastedown. Carl Linné (von Linné from his ennoblement in 1761; Latinized Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). Against a national patchwork of descriptions of living things -- often but not always in Latin, and usually in full sentences describing the qualities of the creature -- Linnaeus perfected the system of binomial nomenclature. With two Latin words, scientists could communicate internationally and be assured that they were referring to the same creature; this allowed the collaboration and rapid development that made the XVIIIc the greatest in the development of biological knowledge. The present work is Linnaeus's first published account of plants from around the world, demonstrating that they all could be described using the system he laid out in his twelve-page Systema naturæ (1735). The work is based on the botanical holdings of George Clifford III (1685-1760), an Anglo-Dutch banker who had risen to a directorship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). His summer estate at Hartekamp benefitted from his global connections, and his gardens came to include four hothouses to cultivate his exotic specimens -- per the title, both living and dried -- including the first banana tree grown indoors. Clifford brought on the young naturalist to apply the binomial system to his holdings. The work is important (the Hunt catalogue calls it "the central volume in botanical literature") not only for being the first widespread application of the system to plants but also for being so richly illustrated with engravings by Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), including a richly allegorical frontispiece: Apollo (with, it is said, the face of Linnaeus) casting off the veil of ignorance from Mother Earth. Twenty of the thirty-six engravings are after the greatest of all XVIIIc botanical illustrators: Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). W.T. Stearn, the great XXc botanist, claims that the Hortus Cliffortianus "marks the beginning of a new era in botanical illustration and foreshadows the golden century of great flower-book production which extended from about 1760-1860" (apud Hunt). The present example hails from the collection of Ernest Dixon Hartland (d. 1931) given to Gloucestershire County Library in 1936 by his widow, Mrs. Amy Georgina Hartland of Hardwicke Court, Chepstow. Mr. Hartland held membership at London's Society of Antiquaries and acted as an independent archivist for his region, collecting not only rare books but manuscript material and ephemera relating to the legal, governmental, and diplomatic proceedings of England's seven home counties. Though much of Mr. Hartland's collection has been deaccessioned, Gloucestershire Archives maintains many of the municipal documents for public reference.

With the attractive frontispiece depicting an apothecary's shop, and the folding plate illustrating a plant of the genus ophiorrhiza with a cobra. WorldCat locates ten institutional copies, and six appear in auction records this century. Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), physician and botanist at Uppsala University, 'set out the first truly practical system of botanical classification, based upon the number and relative consistency of a plant's sexual organs. He also introduced a consistent system of binomial nomenclature (generic name coupled with a specific epithet) which he originally applied to plants' (Hook & Norman, The Norman Library of Science and Medicine 1359). This was laid out in full in his major work, Systema naturae, published as a series of broadsides beginning in 1735, with the addition of zoology in the tenth edition. The present work, specifically on plants with pharmaceutical uses, was published in 1749, and incorporates the Linnean system in its descriptions of over five hundred species. Additional volumes on minerals and animals were planned but never published.

Hasselquist, Fredrik (1722-52); Carl Linnaeus (1707-78). Voyages and travels in the Levant; in the years 1749, 50, 51, 52.

Gilt-ruled calf ca. 1766, rebacked preserving original spine, light edgewear. Minor foxing and toning but very good. Occasional pencil notes in a later hand. First Edition in English. Hasselquist was one of the so-called "Apostles of Linnaeus"students who traveled throughout the world on scientific expeditions devised or sanctioned by Carl Linnaeus. "Linnaeus in his lectures had often mentioned the Levant, and Palestine in particular, as fruitful, unexplored country for the naturalist, and he fired Hasselquist with the desire to go there. In vain the Master tried to dissuade him: the boy hadn't the money, he hadn't the stamina (he showed signs of consumption). But Hasselquist would not listen to reason. The moneyjust, but only just, enoughwas raised by Linnaeus, and a free passage to Izmir (Smyrna) found in one of the ships of the Levant Company" (Blunt, The Compleat Naturalist: A Life of Linnaeus, pp. 184-185). From 1749 to 1752 Hasselquist traveled throughout the Middle East and some of the Aegean islands, amassing a rich collection of zoological, botanical and geological specimens; unfortunately, his health failed and he died before he could return to Sweden. When Linnaeus read Hasselquist's travel journals, he was extremely impressed: "I swear I have never yet read anything so full of fresh, genuine and precise observations as these; they penetrate me as God's word penetrates a deacon . . . So admirable a travel journal has never appeared" (quoted in Blunt, p. 185). In 1757 he published Hasselquist's journal under the title Iter Palaestinium; this was followed by translations into English, German, French and Dutch.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. First. Third edition, first Persoon edition (see below). Göttingen: Johann Christian Dieterich, 1797. Octavo (8" x 4 7/8", 204mm x 123mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in half mottled sheep over marbled paper boards. On the spine, six transverse gilt rolls with gilt fillets top-and-bottom. Author and title gilt to dark sheep in the second panel. Printed scrollwork head- and tail-bands. All edges of the text-block glazed aqua.

Carl von Linné (Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). The system of binomial nomenclature that he perfected is the cornerstone of an international community of scientists, newly able to refer to a species using a standard language. His Systema Naturæ (1735) was the first to lay out his scientific Weltanschauung, and went through 12 editions under his supervision, reflecting new discoveries. After his death, the Systema diverged; Johan Anders Murray excerpted the part relating only to plants (vegetabilia) into a "thirteenth" edition -- confusingly, there is also a thirteenth edition of the whole Systema -- that then ran to two further; thus, this "fifteenth" edition is in fact the third edition of the Systema Vegetabilium. The present item is the first edited by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, himself an eminent mycologist. Pritzel 5430.

Contemporary speckled calf, gold-tooled spine, red sprinkled edges, marbled endpapers. Name on title-page ("Chalette"), the occasional foxspot, corners bumped, top of spine damaged, otherwise in very good condition. An attractive copy of the third edition of Linnaeus's groundbreaking work on botanical taxonomy. First published in 1737 and dedicated to Herman Boerhaave, Genera Plantarum is a significant stepping stone toward the development of a standardised biological nomenclature. Dividing the plant kingdom into 24 classes, Linnaeus presents a system based on 'natural characters' of genera. "The Genera plantarum was Linnaeus's most important book, even more than the Systema naturae, with respect to the practical introduction of his ideas. [.] His reform was daring and thorough, based on an exceptional and practical knowledge of plants; although influenced by somewhat outmoded ideas, it had exactly the salutary effect which he wanted it to have: consistency and simplicity. These two were prime needs for taxonomy in 1737" (Stafleu). The present edition contains the text of the 1742 edition, augmented with the French vernacular plant names.
