1791018452Turici Helvetorum Zurich: Ziegleri & Filiorum 1791. Octavo pp xvi; lxxx 526 light foxing and blemishing with some light pencil marginalia contemporary full calf rubbed and scuffed with wear at the corners marbled endpapers. Edited by the Swiss botanist Paul Usteri and published within two years of the first edition. This copy was owned by the Scottish botanist and plant collector George Don - 1798-1856 - with his signature on the first blank. The pencil notes though look to be by another hand. In this study of flowering plants Jussieu adopted a methodology based on the use of multiple characters to define groups an idea derived from naturalist Michel Adanson. This was a significant improvement over the "artificial" system of Linnaeus whose most popular work classified plants into classes and orders based on the number of stamens and pistils. Jussieu did keep Linnaeus' binomial nomenclature resulting in a work that was far-reaching in its impact; many of the present-day plant families are still attributed to Jussieu. Morton's 1981 History of Botanical Science counts 76 of Jussieu's families conserved in the ICBN versus just 11 for Linnaeus for instance. Writing of the natural system Sydney Howard Vines remarked "The glory of this crowning achievement belongs to Jussieu: he was the capable man who appeared precisely at the psychological moment and it is the men that so appear who have made and will continue to make all the great generalisations of science.".
