Note: The allusion to Ventenat's Principes de botanique is limited to pointing out that the work, now announced by the publishers as "newly published" (in 1812), according to an item appearing on 27 May 1812 in "le journal de l'empire," actually dates back to 1795 (l'an 3 de la république). The rest of the article is devoted to the reviewer's (Villars's) observations on the art of translating names of plants from the classical languages into the modern equivalents.
