 5 Duchesne and His Work
Bernard was second in the five-member de Jussieu dynasty of botanists who occupied for nearly a century and a half a pre-eminent place in botanical science.
Bernard's interest had centered on this by 1759, when King Louis XV, an enthusiast for all the sciences but especially botany, requested him to collect all the plants cultivated in France in the Trianon Garden and to establish a school of botany there.
Bernard had refused the vacant professorship left by his brother, who died in 1758, and so he remained an under-demonstrator, passing most of the day in armchair meditation across the room from his studious young nephew.

Rio de Janeiro replaced the northeastern port city of Salvador, Bahia as the colonial capital in 1763, a shift that reflected the replacement of the sugar-producing Northeast by the mining and agricultural centers of the Central South.
Jussieu's classification system yielded to the doctrine of evolution and, through the efforts of his nephew Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836), was adopted by the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in 1774 where it replaced the original 1635 design of the gardens.

Count Georges de Buffon, the leading naturalist of the day, engaged him as tutor to his son during two years of travel in central Europe visiting botanical gardens and other learned institutions.
When the Jardin des Plantes (National Museum of Natural History) was founded in 1793, Lamarck was placed in charge of the invertebrates, of which he had already made an important collection.
These systematic studies of invertebrates were climaxed by the publication of his life's work, Histoire naturelle des animaux sans verthbres ("Natural History of Invertebrate Animals"), from 1815 to 1822, a complete vindication of his proposal to establish museum collections as the basis for revisionary work in systematic biology.
