Provenance: with the bookplate of the Warren H. Corning Collection of Horticultural Classics on the front paste-down. First French edition of Johann Andreas Murray's 13th edition of Linnaeus' "Systema naturae", first published by Murray in 1774. A student of Linneaus in Uppsala between 1756 and 1759, he wrote an introduction called "Regnum vegetabile" [or, 'The Vegetable Kingdom']. First published in Leiden in 1735, the first edition of "Systema naturae" had only twelve pages, and with each new edition new plant and animal species were added. The 13th edition was published in 1770 and more than 2000 pages. The work presented a revolutionary way to classify the three kingdoms in nature: the animal, the plant, and stones. Each kingdom was subdivided into classes, orders, genera, species, and varieties. Linnaeus's classification system has survived in biology, though additional ranks, such as families, have been added to accommodate growing numbers of species. Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish naturalist and explorer, was the first scientist to propose principles for defining the genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them: binomial nomenclature. His system was so successful that it is still used today for naming new species of plants and animals.…

3 parts in 1 volume. An account of pharmacological ingredients in three parts, the second on botanical sources by the great Swedish botanist Linnaeus, and those on mineral and animal sources, here in their first editions, by Ludivico Tessari, a famous physician and pharmaceutical chemist, active in Venice in the third quarter of the 18th century. Part 1 covers the "regnum minerale" (divided into 6 classes: terris medicinalibus, lapidibus medicinalibus, salibus fossilibus, metallis & semimetallis, arsenico & sulphure and bituminibus) and part 3 the "regnum animale" (divided in 6 classes: quadrupedia, amphibia, pisces, testacei, aves and insecta) as sources of materials and elements for medicines. For part 2, on the "regnum vegetabile" as a source, Tessari reprints a text by Linnaeus, first published in his Materi medica in Stockholm in 1749.Spine worn, otherwise in good condition.l ICCU, PUVE010973; cf.
