3 volumes. 8vo., (10 x 6 6/8 inches). Engraved frontispiece portrait of Michaux by Rembrandt Peale, 156 colour-printed stipple-engraved plates, finished by hand, by Gabriel, Bessin, Renard, Cailly and others after Pancrace Bessa (92), Pierre-Joseph Redoute (31), Henri-Joseph Redoute (27), A. Riche (3), A. Redoute (1) and 2 unsigned. Modern green morocco backed marbled paper boards, gilt, all edges gilt. Provenance: With the ink library stamp of the Mercantile Library, Clinton Hall, NY on the title-page of each volume and on each plate affecting the image. First published, in French, in Paris between 1810 and 1813, with only 138 plates, and in English in Paris in 1819, and reprinted on both sides of the Atlantic many times. The edition with Smith's "notes" as here was first published in 1850-1851. The current edition was the last to be issued with hand-coloured plates, all subsequent editions being issued with colour-printed plates. In 1785 Michaux accompanied his celebrated botanist father Andre Michaux (1746-1802) "to North America on a royal commission to explore the forests for trees that could be grown in France. Though the elder Michaux sometimes took his son on his journeys, he generally left him to look after the nursery that he had established near Charleston, South Carolina, in 1786. "Michaux returned to France for further education in 1790. He matriculated in medicine and after graduation, most probably from the old Medical School (now known as René Descartes University), spent time studying botany at the Jardin des Plantes. His father returned to Paris in 1796 but left again on the Baudin voyage to Australia in 1800. Michaux began to seek an opportunity to continue his father's work in North America. With the support of Jean Chaptal, minister of the interior, he sailed for America and arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, on 9 October 1801. He had been instructed to close down the nursery at Charleston for economic reasons, and he sent back to France those seedlings he thought worthy of cultivation. A New Jersey nursery established by his father had also been slated for closure, but a compromise was worked out so that Pierre-Paul Saunier, who had accompanied Michaux and his father to America, could continue to operate it on his own. "In the spring of 1802 Michaux toured the forests of New Jersey with David Hosack and also visited Hosack's newly established Elgin Botanic Garden in New York. From there he made an extended visit to Philadelphia, where he met William Bartram and saw William Hamilton's fine collection of trees at Woodlands. He then made a journey through Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee before returning to Carolina, and he met on the way many of his father's old acquaintances. From this trip he produced 'Voyage à l'ouest des monts Alléghanys', which was published in Paris in French in 1804 and published in London the year after in three different English versions. He returned to France at the end of 1803 to organize the shipments of plants and seeds that he had sent back and to make a series of reports on his work. Clearly by then he had formed the idea of producing a major work on the trees of North America. "In the meantime he devoted himself to a detailed report on American trees, 'Mémoire sur la naturalization des arbres forestiers de l'Amérique septentrionale', published originally in the 'Mémoires de la Société du Département de la Seine' (1805) and published separately in the same year. The report caused considerable interest. The French government accepted his recommendation to send someone to America to continue the shipment of trees and seeds and appointed Michaux to the task, as he no doubt had hoped. He was in Paris until late January 1806 and then sailed for Charleston on 5 February. Three days out of Bordeaux his ship was seized by an English man-of-war, and he was taken prisoner. When his captors realized that he was a botanist, they treated him with respect and put him asho.
