Classification in biology Botany Scientific illustration 18th century Great Britain Bute, John Stuart, Earl of Linnaeus, Carolus

In the final years of his life, after a long and turbulent political career, John Stuart, third Earl of Bute, was at last free to indulge in one of his passions: botany. The publication of Linnaeus's Systema naturae in 1735 threw the botanical world into disarray and academic argument raged throughout Europe. The production of the Botanical tables (1785) was an ambitious project to explain Bute's individual view of Linnaeus's system of taxonomy and was particularly composed for the Fair Sex. Twelve volumes were published privately and presented to family, royalty and botanical colleagues across Europe. The Botanical tables were illustrated by the renowned botanical artist, John Miller. The illustrations are both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically correct.
