In 1807 he met Robert Fulton and became such a good friend that he was one of two passengers on the Clermont 's landmark trip up the Hudson River. After returning to France he wrote a three-volume work called The North American Sylva; or A Description of the Forest Trees of the United States Canada and Nova Scotia. It was published in Paris from 1810 to 1813 and translated into English five years later. Michaux spent most of the rest of his life managing experimental farms owned by the Société Centrale de l'Agriculture near Paris devoting much of his work to the cultivation and propagation of trees and shrubs grown from seeds he had sent back from America."

MICHAUX, Francois Andre (1770-1855)
Histoire des Arbres Forestiers de l'Amerique Septentrionale consideres principalement sous les rapports de leur usage dans les arts et de leur introduction dans le commerce .
Paris: L'Imprimerie de L. Haussmann 1813. 3 volumes tall octavo. 9 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Half-titles 2pp. of errata at end of vol.III. 138 hand-coloured colour stipple engravings. Extra illustrated with a carte-de-visite albumen portrait photograph of the author by J.A. Whipple of Boston tipped in at the front of vol.I. Foxing to the text some minor offsetting to the plates. Expertly bound to style in half dark brown morocco over nineteenth century marbled paper-covered boards spines lettered in gilt<br/> <br/> Provenance: Theodore Lyman III 1833-1897 signature in each volume<br/> <br/> Theodore Lyman's copy of the original issue in French of Michaux's great work on North American trees including beautiful colour plates printed in Paris many after Redouté.<br/> <br/> This is the most important work relating to American trees published prior to the 20th century and excepting the unillustrated Arbustrum Americanum by Humphrey Marshall Philadelphia 1785 it is the first significant work devoted to North American sylva. In the English translation as The North American Sylva this book remained the standard work on the subject for most of the 19th century. It was the product of the efforts of one of the greatest naturalists to work in 19th-century America François A. Michaux who together with his father André was a pioneer in the natural history exploration of Eastern North America. The beautifully-executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. The English and Latin names are printed in the caption of each plate. Michaux's work is based on his extensive travels in the Eastern half of America and those of his father from the 1790s on. Both men were friendly with Jefferson and other leading figures who aided them in their work and travels. The plates were executed by the great French flower painter Redouté and his associate Bessa. At least two sets are known to have the date of 1813 on the title-page of the first volume most likely denoting a later issue. The first volume of this copy bears the correct date of 1810. The work was issued in twenty-four parts during 1810-1813. This set with provenance to American soldier and naturalist Theodore Lyman III. Lyman studied under Louis Agassiz at Harvard and continued his studies researching starfish off the Florida coast. After a European tour at the outbreak of the Civil War he served on General Meade's staff. Following the war he was a state Fish Commissioner a federal commissioner and one of the first scientists to advocate the widespread use of fish ladders known then as "fishways." He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the National Academy of Sciences a trustee of the Peabody Education Fund and an overseer of Harvard University. This copy extra-illustrated with a rare carte-de-visite albumen portrait photograph of F.A. Michaux by John Adams Whipple 1822-1891 of Boston after the daguerrotype portrait taken for Dr. Asa Gray during his visit to Paris in June 1851.<br/> <br/> Cf.

The beautifully executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. "It is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty"-Sabin. This is a reissue of the combined edition of the two works issued by the Philadelphia publishers Rice Rutter & Co. successors to Rice and Hart. Michaux's work was based on his extensive travels in the eastern half of America and those of his father from the 1790s on. Both men were friendly with Jefferson and other leading figures who aided them in their work and travels. His book was first published with a Philadelphia imprint in 1817-19 although actually printed in Paris where the plates were engraved as well. These plates were executed by the great French flower painters Redoute and his associate Bessa. The sheets of the first effort at reprinting were destroyed by fire but the copper plates were separately stored and survived to be employed in this edition where the work of Michaux fills the first three volumes. Thomas Nuttall was one of the most intrepid American naturalists of his day traveling extensively in the Mississippi Valley and the Far West in 1820s and 1830s to gather botanical specimens. His work designed to supplement that of Michaux covers eastern species missed by. unknown

First published in Paris in 1804 Michaux's classic narrative relates his travels west of the Allegheny Mountains. The author is most famous as a botanist and author of North American Sylva. His 1800-mile journey began when he in the company of Jean Chaptal sailed for America and arrived at Charleston South Carolina October 9 1801. He had been instructed to close down a nursery founded by his father Andrew Michaux at Charleston for economic reasons and he sent back to France the seedlings he thought worthy of cultivation. In the spring of 1802 he began travels in other parts of the United States before returning to France at the end of 1803 and organizing the shipments of plants and seeds he sent back. In this travelogue Michaux comments on the various botanical specimens he observes as well as wildlife commerce viticulture in Kentucky Cherokees in Tennessee and much more.
