French Botany in the Enlightenment: The Ill-fated Voyages of La Perouse and His Rescuers - International Archives of the History of Ideas / Archives Internationales d'Histoire des Idees
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.
