Excerpt from Mémoire Présenté à Son Altesse Royale Mgr. Le Duc d'Orléans, Régent de France: Concernant la Précieuse Plante du Gin-Seng de Tartarie
L'histoire naturelle du pays avait été étudiée par des hommes spéciaux; et la Flore canadienne avait été décrite non seulement dans l'excellent ouvrage de Charlevoix, dont les gravures ne le cèdent en rien à ce qui peut être fait de mieux de nos jours; mais encore dans plusieurs mémoires publiés dans les recueils des aca démies ou dans des lettres et relations que l'on se disputait avec avidité. Autant le Canada est aujourd'hui profondément ignoré de la France, autant alors il excitait d'intérêt.
