Among the many interests of Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(1712-78) was botany. These letters 'addressed to a lady' came to
the attention of Thomas Martyn, professor of botany at the
University of Cambridge, who thought that 'if [they were]
translated into English, they might be of use to such ... as wished
to amuse themselves with natural history'. However, when the
translation was done, he 'perceived that the foundation only being
laid by the ingenious author, it could be of little service,
without raising the superstructure'. Martyn's 1785 publication, of
which we have reissued the 1791 third edition, adds notes and
corrections to Rousseau's original thirty-two letters which explain
the structure of plants and their ordering in the Linnaean system.
Martyn urges the reader not to study it 'in the easy chair at
home': it 'can be no use but to such as have a plant in their
hand'.
