Transcription
De Jussieu writes that Monsieur Pajot’s garden is perfect and has several rare plants. He hopes that Sloane will urge Mr Miller to provide a recommendation to Pajot’s gardener. Bernard de Jussieu (1699-1777) was a French naturalist and brother of Anthoine de Jussieu. He earned his MD at Montpellier and practiced medicine from 1720. Jussieu joined the Jardin des Plantes in 1722, edited a new edition of Tournefort’s ‘Histoire des plantes’ in 1725, and was admitted into the Academie des sciences in the same year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_de_Jussieu).
