says the celebrated Rousseau, whose vast knowledge and solid labours, consecrated to botany, rendered them worthy of that immortality which they have acquired. For, till this part of natural history falls into oblivion, the names oiJohn and Caspar Bauhm will live along with it in the memory of mankind. Each of these indefatigable men, par nobile fratrum, undertook an universal his- tory of plants, and to add to it a synonymy, or exact list of the names that every plant bore in all the writ- ers... which preceded them. John nearly completed his undertaking in three volumes folio, but did not live to publish the whole. Caspar laboured forty years, but the life of man is too short for the execution of a plan so extensive. ' Their works are still the guide to all those, who wish to consult antient authors on botany. John THE BOTANIST. 99 Bauhin was born at Lyons in 1541, and died in 1624. Caspar was born 1560, and died 1624. After this period, scarcely an author wrote on medicine, but wrote more or less on botany ; of these we must not omit Fuc/isius, who in 1530 published five hundred and ten figures of plants ; nor Rondele- tius, a physician of Montpelier.
