NATURAL HISTORY.
TU anrtlin eleo FIimiS,
TJTia'eulrtedly tie fiuest InstitaMon of lis kind
f modern times, ftud, perhaps, equal to the
ftordm of aoolent Attieus, was foauded by
lnts XIII In May, lti35, aud consisted at first
only of a house and 24 aores of land. Dr.
lleronard, an eminent comparative anatomist
In bis day, was made curator In the infant In
stitution, with the privilege of eeleotiog an
assistant, whom he supplied in the person f
Got de la lirosse. Daring the first year a
parterre 2U2 feet long by 227 feet broad, com
peted of the best plants to be had in Franoe, was
formed. Including varieties, the speoimens of
genera amonnted to 1800. Correspoudenoe
was Immediately opened with the lead
ing botanists of the world, and la 104!)
the number of species and varieties hai
ten increased to 23 GO. Iu tbe same
year tbe garden was opaned to the pub
lic. Considerable progress was made in the
courpe of the next three years, and, in 10J .
Ue la llroege died, matters remaining B,a,
yvo, with trilling exceptions, until iib$, wheu
the graiid-nt-phfW of Do U ioase was ap
pointed, aud travelled at his own expems
through the provinces of Franoe, and among
the Pyrenees and Alps, fr the purpose of aid
ing new varieties o( plants to the pardon, la
lb65 tbe number of speuies and varieties
amounted to 4000. Meanwhile, however, Gas
ton d'O.-leaLB, the King's brother, had fjuuded
a garden of his own, the principal feature of
Trbicli was that it contained a collection of
drawings of the moat remarkable plants in the
world. Tbe Duke died in 1CJ0, aud the King,
luy iug the collection, added it to his own, ap
pointing Robert, the artist who painted them,
painter to the museum of the Jardin des
1'lunhs. Here began the era of painting as an
aid to botany, aud from that time to the pre
sent the mobt celebrated painters of Europe .
Have Deen cout.ioiitord to the collection, so
that at the preeeut day one of the moat valua
tle features of the mnsenui is constituted by
its drawirgs of the plants and animals of all
climates aud oonutiies. - -
In 1071 an event of great importance oo
enrred In the proclamation of the King regu
lating the administration of the garden and
grantlDg commissions to the professors. This
Was due to the ellorts of Colbert, who had
BuggfrBttd to the King that there was no surer
Way of rendering the institution both nseful
and permanent than by founding several pro
fessorships in connection with it. Dr. Fagon
Was appointed to the professorship of botany,
and, having filled it tor several years with
ability, it was finally, at his request, bo. towed
on Joseph Pittoo ae Tournelorfr, then only
twenty-six yuars cf age, though a botanist of
remarkable promise. Tuis ooourrd in 1683,
lr. Fagon being retained in the newly-created
cflice ot Superintendent. Tournefort was the
first suocesslully to define Hie genera of plants.
The ilrt great result to science of the Jardin
da I lantts, though of e,tial importance, will
le noted in passing.
The next great name conneoted with the
institution is that of Antony de Juasiuu, who
was appointed in 1716, and, visiting Spain
and Portugal the following year, brought back
a large number of new species and varieties.
In the absence of Da Jasstea the care of the
garden devolved on Bebastian Vaillant, who
was the first to discover and demonstrate in a
pnblio lecture the exi&tenoe of two sexes in
plants, together with the phenomena of
fecundation in vegetables a second tnvalaabl
contribution to the scienti&o knowledge of the
age. Skipping the interim of several name
less proletsors, history records the appoint
ment of the great liulfjn, then utterly un
known as a naturalist, though eminent in
mathematics and natural philosophy, which
, ok place in 1739 at the dying request of Da
liay, his immediate predecessor.
At the time when liuffon entered the garden,
there was as yet nothing worthy of the name
ef a Museum of Natural History, and the col
lection under his control was simply termed a
cabinet. Button made it his first basiness to
procure more commodious buildings for the
reception of collections. Bernard de Jussien
being keeper of the oabioet and Butfjn
having no fault to find with hi in the new
EUf enntendeut decided to create a place for
Daubenton, who had been a student of botany
nnoer the elder Jussieu aud of anatomy under
uaverney and Htnslov. The increasing trea
sures ot the institution gave Baffjn an excuse
for enlarging his corps, aud, as a oonsequenoe,
Daubenton, then only 20 years of age, was in
Tiled to l'aris in 1745. After four years of
combined labor for there is no doubt that
Button received important aid from Daubenton
in the preparation of hia work the first
volume of the Natural Ilistory appeared, at
tracting the attention of all Europe, and giving
an 4clut to the Jardin ties IHantes which even
the great disooveries of Tournefort and Vail
lant had failed to give it. In the
mean time, most important additions
were made to the cabinet the
Superintendent having resigned a part of his
own dwelling for the reoeptlon of trie new col
lections, to the augmentation of which he gave
up his own dwelling entirely in 1766. The
cabinet now consisted of four large saloons,
open to the publio two days in the week, and
with certain hours spudded for the exclusive
benefit of students of natural history, who
were taught by Daubenton. Daring all this
time the publio still had the benefit of the
labors of Antony de Jussieu, who not only leo
tured two or three times a week on botany,
but also employed young men to travel at his
own expense lor the collection of new speci
mens for the garden. In 17S7, Button procured
the use of the Hotel de Msgny, with its courts
and gardens; and here was constructed an
amphitheatre for lectures on botany, anatomy,
and the kindred sciences. With the telat of
the name of Butfon at its head, though, per
baps, Button was more indebted to the garden
for his reputation than was the garden to hi in
for something similar, now began the era of
contributions. The King of Poland pre
vented a valuable collection of minerals;
the Emperor of Russia, having found it im
possible to induce Button to vUit St. Peters
burg, invited the son of the illustrious author,
and presented him with rare animals from the
INoith fer the museum. In 1787 the cabinet
of zoology was materially enhanced la value
by the collection of Sonnerat made in India,
as well as by that of Commerson made during
the voyage of Bougainville round the world.
Hot was Daubenton the only famous professor

Berved, the discovery of the thro'?8 ' ?
lples upon which solentiflo botany i based
has been dne to tin botanical garden fouu,i
by Louis XIII. ,a
Passing over the period ot the Revolution,
during which, under M. Lakanal. the institu
tion was dignified with the title of the Museum
of Xatnral History, with twelve endowed pro
fessorshlps, and passing as well the Trinidad
expedition in 17'Jo, which resulted in the add!
lien of a large collection of West Indian plants
to the garden, together with a large collection
of Dirnars a note wiay be taken of the splen
did cabinet of the Btadtholder, whloh was ai
ded the same year, together with a collection
of insects made in Barbary by DesTontalnes.
At this time all the similar institutions in
Europe did not contain so many speoimens,
rpeolts, and varieties, thongh, notwithstand
ing, its most valuable features have burnt
added sicoe. It was in the days of the el ler
Napoleon that the name of Cavier was ap
pended to tbe list of professors, and to him is
due the credit of having been the first to sug
gest and demonstrate that many of the fossil
remains of geology were those of now extinct
species a fact the demonstration of which
laid the fonndation for intelligent study of geo
logical fossils, and effeoted a complete revolu
tion in the theories of that roience. Ia 1800,
under the iC'nime of Napoleon also, 17,000
fratts In gold were paid for an Kagtish col
lection, coniisting of two tigers, two lynxes,
one nndril, a leopard, a panther, a hyena,
aD a few birds. At this time, alo, began the
publication of the Annals of the Museum, the
nrst oi tue twenty volumes of which was
printed in 1S01.
In 1802 the Weiss collodion of roinarals
was added for 150,000 (raucs; iu 1802, also,
the Gayola museum of fossil tithes ws incor
porated, together with M. Mural's Corsioau
collection aud the celebratt-d Veronese collec
tion, more valuable than either. Ia 1803 the
Australian expedition was mad, which re
sulted in a collection that Cuvier highly
prait-ed as of inestimable value. Soon after,
llomboldt presented the herbarium of his
travels, wbiuh cocnistcd of 5(iU0 species; also,
M. (teoffrvy his collection made duriog a four
years' residence in Eypt, and including the
mummies of several scred auimals from th i
tombs of Memphis aod Thebes. It was through
thete specimens that Cuvier and savigny were
able to determine that the talalun ibis of Sene
gal was not the ibis of the Egyptians. Ia 1814
M. Brenser's famous collection of intestinal
animals was added; also the wax modeled
fungi of the Museum, reckoned the most acoa
rate wax-woik ever made.
Tbe above rapid no'es of tbe progress of
the Jardin do Vant s aud the extent to whioh
rcience is indebted for its great discoveries to
tbe culture afforded by the institution, are
sufficient to illustrate .the value of zoological
and Lotanical gardeni, scientifically speaking.
The Jardin des Mantes, and that only, it has
been whioh, fostering tiie esprit de corps
among scientific men, has kept France far in
the van, so far as scientific discovery ia con
cerned, for two ceutnries.
' A mere catalogue of the names whioh ,
tbe Jardin des tlantts has rendered illuUriouj
would occupy colnmus not to meution the
thousands of students who regularly attend
tbe lectures on comparative anatomy, geology,
agriculture, mineralory, zoology, botauy, and
the whole tirj'a of pbyaical ecienoes.
Oilier Garleni in CMe Old World,
Tbe Zoological Garden in Regetit'a Park,
London, is a fine institution, though little
to be compared with the great Museum of
Paris. Another excellent institution,
though exclusively botaoioal - and hor
ticultural, is the Royal Gardens, at
Kew, of which Sir W. J. Hooker is
director. In a recent report, on the condition
of the garden, this gentletnau notes the fact
that, e.li'nougli the great mass of its visitors
visit it for purposes of recreation, still a large
percentage have no other aim than scientific
and botanical study; while many more make
use of it for drawings of rare species to be in
Vrodoced into landscapes; a multitude more
to oopy novel or sinning vegetable produc
tions; and a small percentage for designs to
be reproduced in manufactured goods. Ia
faot, one can scarcely enter an English gallery
of art without a recognition ia Borne of its
paintings of trees, shrubs, or rare plants
seen in the institution at Kew, and the
same is true to a large extent of Eaglish wax
work and English designs on manufactured
woollens, silks, and cottons; while profes
sional gardeners esteem it a great privilege to
be permitted to pass a couple of years in com
pleting their education iu connection with the
institution.
In the continental cities of Amsterdam,
Ghent, Antwerp, aud Brussels, zoological
gardens have also been founded, aud are
supported aud coud noted by aoologioal socie
ties, llie Antwerp uarden was iounaea iu
1843. with a capital on the part of the Z jolog-
ios.1 Society of $20,000, devoted to the acquir
ing of land and the erection or su'table build
lugs. The annual expenses are now about
$20,0CO, which are met by an admission fee of
oue franc, by the sale of exotic birds and
animals reared in the institution, by an
entrance fee of membership of 20 franos, and
by an annual levy on the members of 25 franos
a year. The capital or the uhent Uarden,
founded in a similar manner, originally but
t;0,C00, has been recently enlarged to (00,000.
The grounds oom prise 13 aores; shareholders
number about 4000; annual Income Is now
about 113,000; annual expenses are about
$10,000. In Brussels the grounds have been
neatly planted, so as to conoeal the oages
mostly by overhanging vegetation.
Altogether, these institutions oner a type
unknown to Franoe. Founded by subscrip
tion, they owe nothing to the State, and
derive their resourofS altogether from their
own development. It has been proposed to
annex to the collections of animals a library
of Natural Ilistory and courses of publio leo
tnres, but not one of the societies has ever
been able to put the plan into practical opera
tion. In fact, created by societies simply, and
bo supported, there can be no expectation
that they will ever rival the great Natural
History MnBeum of Paris, upheld as it ia by
tbe ceutral power of the State. These lesser
institutions have, nevertheless, a place to take
in the propagation of a knowledge of animals,
aud the stripping of science of its morose
gravity. Half a century back, the
giraffe and kangaroo were as paradoxical
to the popular mind as were the uni
corn aud griffin. At present these
animals live and walk about before our eyes,
aud this is some little progress. Natural His
tory Ib, to the popular mind, no longer a cold
catacomb of specimens, dead, stutl'ed, anl
ticketed, aud this is greater progress still.
The natural purpose of the zoological gardens
at this age, when comparative auatomy has
less need of Cuviers and pioneers in discovery
than formerly, is undoubtedly to serve as a
means for observations, facts, and experi
ments In Natural History affording, as is the
faot, tbe means of investigation into the laws
of acclimatization, the laws by virtue of which
animals pass from the pavage into the domestio
State, and the modifications of physique which
accompany acclimatization and the transition
from savageness to domesticity. Slightly modi
fied, tbe tame remarks apply to botanical gar
dens so far as they may be mads subservient
to discovery in botanical science.
