General
A list of reviews from current journals of Adanson’s Familles des plantes. Included is a draft of Adanson’s summary of the book, dated 21 Mars 1764, with the names of the journals to which this summary was sent. There is also a draft of a short letter of the same date to Monsieur Roux, editor of the Journal de Médecine, in which Adanson tells him that he left a copy of the book in the porch of his house the day before and now sends a copy of the abstract to spare him the trouble of reading the volumes.
