Bücher von R.L. Williams

This volume completes a trilogy meant to be a commentary on the botanophilia that captured the literate public in 18th-century France. It amounted to a quest for universal knowledge that could benefit all mankind: useful knowledge that could improve the human condition in this life.

The book describes the innovations that enabled botany, in the Eighteenth century, to emerge as an independent science, independent from medicine and herbalism.
