COPY OF ERNST MAYR, with his bookplate in each volume (see photo). "Lamarck's recognition by the French scientific community resulted from the publication of his Flore françoise in 1779 (not 1778 as the title page says). His innovation was the establishment of dichotomous keys to aid in the identification of French plants; by eliminating large groups of plants at each stage through the use of mutually exclusive characteristics, the given name of any plant could be rapidly determined. This 'method of analysis', as Lamarck called it, was much easier to use in identifying plants than Linnaeus' artificial system of classification, which was based on sexual differences among plants or the natural method of classification of Adanson, Bernard de Jussieu, and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. Lamarck's new approach and his criticisms of Linnaeus impressed Buffon, who arranged to have the Flore published by the government. The first of the three volumes contained a theoretical 'Discours préliminaire' which, among other things, explained the method of analysis and a lengthy exposition of the fundamentals of botany. The other two volumes listed all known French plants according to his method of classification and provided good descriptions of each species. The Flore was one of the first French works to include the Linnaean nomenclature as well as that of Tournefort. Written in French rather than Latin, the Flore was an immediate success and the first printing was sold out within the year" (DSB 7: 585). For a fuller account of the Flore françoise, I recommend highly Richard Burkhardt, The Spirit of System, Lamarck and Evolutionary Biology, pp. 23-25.

8vo, pp. [xxxviii], 384, 387-394, 359-582, 567-571; complete despite the several mistakes in pagination; some browning in text but withal a very good, sound copy in contemporary limp vellum, spine lettered in ink. First edition in French, translated from the Latin, published earlier the same year. John Barnes (c. 1581-1661) had been born in Norfolk and studied at Cambridge before converting to the Roman church. He went to Douai and to the English College at Valladolid, where he was professed as a Benedictine monk in 1605. His disputatious nature ensured that he did not have a quiet life, and his time was spent in arguing about the status of the Benedictine congregations in England before the Reformation. This present work is aimed at the Jesuits and their supposed habit of equivocation: it was published openly in Paris, both in Latin and French (both by Rolin Baragnes), with an Approbatio from the doctors of Paris, dated 13 July 1624. Despite this and also despite the book's being dedicated to Urban VIII it was condemned by the Holy Office on 23 December of the same year, and presumably was not circulated outside France. Barnes continued to work on scholarly matters, and apparently went into England in 1627, where he is said to have studied at the Bodleian: this journey, and his public opinions, brought him under suspicion, and on his return to the continent he found himself a wanted man. Despite fleeing to Paris, and (Wood says) being under the protection of the English ambassador, he was seized and carried off to Rome, where he was 'thrust into the dungeon of the inquisition'. Barnes lived until 1661, first in prison and then, when he had descended into madness, in an asylum for the insane. His insanity was not wholly accepted in Britain: Wood says that by the 'reformed party' (i.e. protestants) he was called 'the good Irenaeus, a learned, peaceable and moderate man', but that 'certain fierce people at Rome, being not contented with his death, have endeavoured to extinguish his fame, boldly publishing that he died distracted'.
