First Edition of this translation of St. Augustine's De spiritu et littera by the Academician Philippe Dubois or Dubois-Goibaud who also translated the Confessions. The Approbation dated 8 August 1697 is followed by a royal privilege dated January 1698 to an anonymous libraire who soon after transferred the privilege to the Royal Printer Jean-Baptiste Coignard II. Coignard finished the printing on 23 December 1699. The book's sober undecorated covers the mark of the so-called janséniste style open to reveal exuberantly colored German floral endpapers. Called "papier doré gauffré" in French brocade paper was a specialty of Augsburg and Nürnberg and was probably first produced by engravers or goldsmiths. The pattern was printed either in negative relief with the motifs in intaglio so that the "gold" leaf actually a mixture of brass and an alloy of copper tin zinc and sometimes lead appears as the ground as here; or in positive relief usually showing the patterns in gold on a colored ground. The colors were applied successively using stencils usually cut in oiled paper or in thin metal sheets. Cf. C. Kopylov Papiers dorés d'Allemagne au siècle des Lumières 2012 pp. 17-19.

Nineteenth century quarter maroon morocco maroon paper over boards; rubbed. Rubber-stamp of Abbe E. Emile Longin Beaujeu fl.1904; receipt of sale of this copy to Armand Pushman 1932 NYC. First edition. This work was first translated into English in 1693. "At this time a major preoccupation of the Catholic Church and its China mission was to discover a safe land route from Europe to Peking through central Asia. This was due to the large numbers of out-going clergy who perished tragically every year at sea." Ames & Love p. 202. "The last decade of the century saw the publication of the accounts of several overland travelers to China and their destinations of China’s inner-Asian neighbors. The story of the Jesuit Philippe Avril’s attempt to establish a route across Russia for the safe passage of missionaries to China appeared in 1692 and includes descriptions of both the routes from Moscow to China and the peoples on China’s frontiers. Avril himself however did not travel beyond Moscow and his descriptions therefore are not the result of his own observations." Lach & Kley pp. 1685-1686. The same for Nicolaas Witsen. Avril Philippe a Jesuit born in France explored extensively throughout Asia and the Far East. He was a professor of mathematics and philosophy in Paris before he began his overland journey. He traveled for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other parts of the southeast. At one point he came to Moscow and was refused entry to Tatary. He was sent by the government to Poland via Istanbul and back to France. Apparently affected by exhaustion and disease he still undertook another voyage his last for the ship was lost at sea circa 1698. – Love Ronald S. "A Passage to China: A French Jesuit’s Perceptions of Siberia in the 1680s." French Colonial History 3: p. 94 2003. Ames & Love offer: "Though obliged to leave Moscow Avril did not return to France with Louis Barnabe . . . Remaining instead at Warsaw the two Jesuits had entered in early March 1688 Avril attempted twice more to achieve his objective or reaching China by land – if not through Siberia then via Persia and Central Asia. Aided in part by the Polish monarch John Sobieski r.1674-1696 and his ambassador to Russia the French priest once again traveled to Moscow in late spring. Just two days after his arrival in the Muscovite capital however Avril was ordered summarily out of the country. Once again he appealed the command in vain. ‘Russia intended to keep her trade with China a secret.’ Nor did he have better luck later the same year 1688 when he and a fellow Jesuit Pere de Beauvillier tried going south to Constantinople instead and thence through Persia to Bokhara Samarkland and the Chinese frontier. Crossing secretly into Ottoman territory the two men were arrested as spies. After several weeks they secured their release and resumed their trek. But Avril whose health had been waning as a result of relentless exertions suddenly developed a hemorrhage. Ordered to abandon the search and return home by his superiors he reached France in autumn 1689." Ames & Love p. 219.

Cornut was a French botanist and physician who never visited North America but instead received the majority of his plant specimens from the Robins family who supervised the gardens of Henry IV and the garden of the Paris Faculty of Medicine and the Morin family who owned several Parisian commercial nurseries. Over thirty species from eastern North America are here described and illustrated for the first time; the importance of which recognized by Linnaeus over a century later as he consulted this work in order to better understand the plants of that region. Cornut also included five South African bulb plants again illustrated here for the first time. Provenance: Bookplates of Ashton Allis on new front pastedown Edward Sanford Burgess present on recto of original free end paper respectively. Edward Sandford Burgess the eldest child of Chalon and Emma Burgess was born in Little Valley New York on 19 January 1855 d. 1928. Edward took an early interest in botany. By the age of sixteen he had analyzed 280 plants near his home. By the age of nineteen he had penned the Flora of Chautauqua County in which he presented the name and locality of every plant known to him 710 in that county. JB vol. 3 p. 28 This work was eventually published as the following: The Chautauqua flora: a catalogue of the plants of Chautauqua County New York native or naturalized; extending through the cryptogamous plants to the end of the Hepaticae Clinton New York 1877. In 1895 Edward went to New York City to become the head of the Department of Biological Sciences at Hunter College. Eventually he entered Columbia University where he received his Ph.D. in 1899. In addition he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from his alma mater Hamilton College in 1904. Edward continued in his post at Hunter College until 1925. During this period he published many works on botany. Among them were the following: "The Work of the Torrey Botanical Club" Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 27 1900: 552-8; "Plant Illustrations in the Middle Ages" Torreya 2 1902: 60-1; "History of pre-Clusian botany in its relation to aster" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 10 1902: 1-447; "Aster" in Flora of the Southeastern United States J.K. Small 1903; "Species and variations of Biotian asters with a discussion of variability in Aster" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 13 1906: 1-419; and "A method of teaching economic botany" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 17 1918: 52-5. JB vol. 3 pp. 50-4 As might be deduced from his list of publications Edward was remembered most for his important work as a student of the genus Aster. In this group of extremely variable plants he hoped to find the forces of evolution at work. Indeed Edward discovered 84 species of Aster when only two to eleven had previously been known.Univ.
