A reevaluation of the history of biological systematics that
discusses the formative years of the so-called natural system of
classification in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Shows
how classifications came to be treated as conventions; systematic
practice was not linked to clearly articulated theory; there was
general confusion over the "shape" of nature; botany, elements of
natural history, and systematics were conflated; and systematics
took a position near the bottom of the hierarchy of sciences.
