Transcription
De Jussieu presents an Irish physician, carrying a copy of ‘la Pharmacopie de Paris’. Antoine de Jussieu (1686-1758) was a French naturalist and physician who, like Sloane, studied at Montpellier. He replaced Professor of Botany Joseph Pitton de Tournefort at the Jardin du Roi in Paris when the latter died in 1708. De Jussieu was admitted as a member of l’Academie des sciences in 1711 and was responsible for the introduction of coffee to the Antilles in 1720 (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Jussieu).
