General
A manuscript of Adanson’s opinions on Bernard de Jussieu’s system of classification with a justification for his own méthode naturelle. In it, Adanson defends his claim for priority for his ideas. Notes that M. Coindet could certify that the answer to a question by J.-J. Rousseau and erroneously credited to de Jussieu was provided by Adanson [cf. AD 132].
