AD 1 Académie Royale des Sciences [Paris] Prix
80 pp. Paris, Imprim. Royale [imprint often missing.]
Baudouin, Impr. de l’Institut National, 1747–1801.
A collection of 26 announcements of the prizes offered by or through l’Académie Royale des
Sciences or l’Institut National de France, or reports on the awards of same. Apparently Adanson
filed the different prizes by subjects, so there are gaps in this assemblage. Included are the prizes
for 1782 on cotton and for 1789 on a regional mineralogy for which Lucien Scheler elucidated
the history (Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier et Michel Adanson rédacteurs de programmes des Prix à
l’Académie des Sciences. In Rev. d’Hist. Sci. 14: 257–284. 1961.)

Annotations: on title page “Collationé 1757 Adanson” and a paraphrase on the motto by
Adanson “1754”; in the text area are a few annotations and the correction of some words. Some
annotated slips are inserted among the leaves, e.g., at p. 11 a counter plea against M. Faujas on
volcanic origin of basalt and on p. 67 hirondelles [swallows] hibernating in Senegal.

AD 6 ADANSON, M[ichel] Familles des plantes 2 vols. [Unbound sheets, containing some
earlier page proof sheets] 8°
The sheets of both volumes are heavily annotated, probably in preparation for a second edition,
but were not used for the second edition published by Payer [AD 10]. Some earlier pages, proofs
of earlier stages, have been transferred here from the subject headings under which they were
filed by Adanson.

NOTE: d’Alembert, when an infant, was left on the steps of the church Jean Le Rond, and when
christened was given the name Jean Le Rond. As he approached maturity, he abandoned this
name and took for himself the single name d’Alembert by which he was known to his colleagues
and in his writing [cf. Lemoine in Dictionnaire de biographic française 1: 1398–1495. 1933].
