Adolphe BRONGNIART (1801-1876), botanist,... - Lot 12 - Conan Belleville Hôtel d'Ainay
Adolphe BRONGNIART (1801-1876), botanist, president of the Academy of Sciences, founder of plant paleontology. L.A.S. [1843, according to a pencil note]. 1 p. in-8. Adolphe Brongniart asks to have his corrected articles returned to him. "I will ask you not to make any corrections either for the content or for the form, I take the responsibility by signing them". He complains about the modifications which were made to his text: "Thus one changed the etymologies which I indicated and one would make me say foolishness if I did not correct them. They make me put Fougère in the form of a whetstone instead of Fougère aiguisée or aigüe. The first meaning is incomprehensible. Please let my articles be printed as I provide them.
