STATISTICS OF GARDENING. 



Part IV 



1790. Herve, M. Ville, director of the Royal Gar- 

 den of the Luxembourg. Mr. Herv^'s father was 

 gardener to the Chartreux monastery, where fruit 

 trees had been collected and propagated for up- 

 wards of half a century before the revolution. In 

 the early part of this revolution, the elder Hervd, 

 foreseeing that the establishment would be put 

 down, applied for and obtained permission from 

 the existing government to establish a national 

 garden of fruit-trees, and the garden of the Luxem- 

 bourg was made the receptacle ot this collection.

1790. Rosier, Francois, born in Lyons, in 1734, 

 and killed there on the 29th September, 1793, dur- 

 ing the siege of that city, by a bomb-shell, which 

 buried his shattered remains in the ruins of the 

 apartment which he occupied. He began his ca- 

 reer as an author, by writing in the Journal de 

 Physique et iVHistoire Naturelle, of which Gau- 

 thier Dagoty was editor. He next occupied himself 

 with his Agricultural or liurul Dictionary, which 

 is the work by which he is chiefly known. He cul- 

 tivated a farm near Bezicrs, which Arthur Young 

 went to see when on his tour in France in 1787 ; 

 but the abbe had left it, on account of the Bishop 

 of Bezieres, who kept a mistress somewhere near, 

 and, for his more commodiously visiting her, got 

 a road made across the farm at the expense of the 

 province. This occasioned a quarrel between the 

 abb^ and the bishop, which ended in the former 

 being obliged to quit his farm. The abbe, like all 

 other men who depart from common practices, 

 ■was looked on as a fanciful and wild cultivator, and 

 because he paved his stables and cow-houses, it was 

 reported by his neighbors that he paved his vine- 

 yard. He wrote a great many works, chiefly on 

 agriculture.
