 who rofc by his merit to the firll rank, in eminence, in liis 

 profefTion, was born at Mentz, about the year 17J6. After

 diftingiiiflud for fuperior abilities and induflry, he was in 

 fiiccelfion made phyfician to Stanidaus, king of Pobnd, to 

 the duke of Lorraine, &c. and teacher or dcmonilrator

 He was alfo alTociated as foreign member to moft of the 

 medical and philofopliical academies on the continent, to

 His works are numerous, all on botanical fiibjefts. The

 Paris, 1760. " Traite hiftorique des Plantes qui croifTeut 

 dans la Lorraine, et les trois eveches," Nancy, 8vo. from 

 1763 to 1769, 9 vols. The work was abruptly broken off 

 incomplete. He was afTifted in forming it, by the papers 

 and the Hortus Siccus of his father-in-law, Marquet, to 

 which he made large additions. The firft volume contains 

 difcourfes on botany, with explications of the fyftems of 

 Tournefort and of Linnaeus ; the fecond, purging ; the 

 third, peftoral ; the fourth, fternutatory ; the fifth, emme- 

 nagcgue ; the fixth, plants exciting perfpiration. In each 

 volume are engravings of the moft remarkable plants in each 

 clafs, with occafional experiments to afcertain their proper- 

 ties. " Medicine rurale et pratique," Paris, 1768, i2mo. 

 containing ufeful information, and enabling the poor to ftle(ft 

 proper remedies for their complaints. " Secrets de la Na-
