François, abbé ROZIER (1734-1793), botanist from Lyon. - Lot 55
François, abbé ROZIER (1734-1793), botanist from Lyon. Autograph letter signed to the bookseller Jean-Jacques Manoury (1736-1829), Caen. 1 p. in-4. Paris, September 7, 1772. "I have just delivered to the Caen courier the six copies you requested of my work on wines [Mémoire sur la manière de distiller les vins]. You will have the works [...] shortly and before the academic speeches. It is right and more than right that you should retain the postage for the prospectus. The trip to Compiègne is the reason why I was unable to avoid it. Rest assured, sir, that I will reduce your disbursements as much as I can [...]. I am in Paris at the source of the books and the bookshops give me rather large discounts, but send me your catalog, it will be useful for my friends and for me [...]. The only thing my journal has in common with the others is that it appears at a given time. It is the journal of the Academies of Europe, and it contains the original works read in the academies [...]".
