This treatise suggests a re-evaluation of the history of biological systematics since 1789, for the first time linking the systematic theory and practice of Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu to his belief that the living world was a gapless continuum of form. The author shows how Jussieu's approach was widely accepted and persisted throughout the 19th century, despite the growing realization that there were in fact more or less discrete groups in nature. Jussieu's systematic theory and practice are related to his general views of the living world.
Industry Reviews
"Stevens has done the history of [biological systematics] much service by providing both a new commentary on this neglected scientist and the translations of Jussieu's early works." -- "Nature"
