Ernest FAIVRE (1827-1879), botanist, director... - Lot 26 - Conan Belleville Hôtel d'Ainay
Ernest FAIVRE (1827-1879), botanist, director of the Botanical Garden of Lyon. L.A.S. to "Monsieur et illustre maître" [probably Henri Milne Edwards (1800-1885), naturalist]. Lyon, November 1860. 2 pp. in-8. Two minimal paper tears. On the publication of a memoir on Dytics [beetles] in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles: "I have the honor of sending you the work which you have kindly authorized to be inserted in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles: it is a continuation of two memoirs previously inserted in the same collection. I would like to correct the proofs myself, if possible. I had two plates drawn to accompany my first two memoirs on the nervous system of Dytics; if you still have these plates at your disposal, I would be very happy, Sir, if they could be returned to me. Allow me to recommend to your kind attention one of my memoirs which you will soon have in your hands as a member of the Commission of the prizes of experimental Physiology." The correspondent of this letter is most probably Henri Milne Edwards (1800-1885) who edited the part of the Annales des sciences naturelles devoted to zoology since 1834 and who was commissioner of his dissertation on Dytics at the Academy of Sciences in 1860 (Académicien since 1838).
