AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Candolle A. P. - Essai sur les propriétés médicales des Plantes. 1816. Rare
The book is the second edition (1816) of the Essay on the Medical Properties of Plants, compared with their external forms and their natural classification by the famous Swiss botanist Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle.
It’s revised and expanded, featured extensive analytical text and concluded with a detailed alphabetical index cross referencing medicinal plants with their systematic, pharmaceutical, and common a names.
The first edition of this book appeared in 1804.
The author gave it as an inaugural thesis to obtain the degree of doctor of medicine at the Faculty of Paris.
It’s really an influential early 19th-century work exploring how the external physical traits and natural taxonomic groupings of plants relate to their medicinal and pharmacological properties.
Next page after title page is a dedication page.
The text pays homage to the historical timeline of scientists who contributed to the "Theory of Natural Relations" (plant taxonomy based on natural affinities
This specific work is highly regarded in the history of botany and pharmacology because de Candolle was a pioneer who moved away from Linnaean classification to introduce a "natural method" of plant taxonomy.
