Laws of Botanical Nomenclature Adopted by the International Botanical Congress, Held at Paris in August 1867: Together With an Historical Introduction and a Commentary (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Laws of Botanical Nomenclature Adopted by the International Botanical Congress, Held at Paris in August 1867: Together With an Historical Introduction and a Commentary

In the following translation of M. de Candolle's 'Lois de la Nomenclature Botanique,' precision has been my chief object. I have, on this account, adhered as literally as I could to the original text, only departing from it where the idioms of the French language did not admit of a close rendering into English. It may not be superfluous to add, that in complying with the request of the author that I should undertake the translation, I was actuated rather by a desire to oblige him, than by the hope of being able to do full justice to his work. For the revision of the MS. and proofs, I have to offer my sincere thanks to some kind friends at Kew.
