He journeyed to Brazil and Peru on the orders King Louis-Phillipe in 1834-7 with Count Francis de Castelnau. He returned to the region in 1851 with Charles Borniche and Martial de Herrypon in search of Cinchona "fever bark", the plant used to make quinine, a medicine to combat Malaria. Weddell was able to find 15 varieties and successfully germinate them at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. The cultivation and spread of Cinchona, and thus quinine, allowed European settlement and imperial domination of the tropical / Malarial zones of the world in the later half of the 19th century. Weddell's voyage is one of the most significant voyages to South America in the 19th century. Palau 374410. Provenance: From the collection of United States Ambassador and diplomat, Alexander Weddell (1876-1948). Weddell was US Ambassador to Argentina from 1933-1938. Engraved book plate from Virginia House Museum.

He studied natural history in Paris and, from 1843 to 1847, crossed South America from Peru to Brazil with two botanists and a taxidermist. Following the Amazon and La Plata river systems, the expedition yielded considerable scientific results in zoology, botany, mineralogy, and ethnography, alongside astronomical and hydrographical observations. Castelnau later served as French consul in Bahia, Siam, and Melbourne. The beautifully coloured plates make this a highly desired work for bibliophiles.

Paris, Imprimerie de E. Martinet, 1876, in-8 de 6 pp., br., couv. impr., mouillures. Extrait du Bulletin de la Société botanique de France, t. XXII (1875). Au sujet d'une controverse avec Chevreul concernant la définition de l'espèce. Le célèbre chimiste avait critiqué les idées de Weddell qu'il jugeait peu claires; en réponse, le botaniste affirme que la définition des espèces végétales est souvent arbitraire. Evoquant ses travaux sur les quinquinas, il défend l'idée d'un "type primitif" qui aurait donné naissance aux espèces actuelles. Ancien élève d'Adrien de Jussieu, H.A. Weddell (1819-1877) avait participé à l'expédition du comte de Castelnau en Amérique du Sud, avant de parcourir seul le Brésil, la Bolivie et le Pérou pour y étudier les quinquinas. En 1850, il devint aide-naturaliste au Jardin des Plantes à Paris. Cet exemplaire comporte, sur la couverture, un envoi autographe: "A Monsieur le Professeur Chevreul, membre de l'Institut, hommage respectueux de l'auteur".

First and only edition of the accound of Weddell's second voyage to South America. In 1843, Weddell had joined the expedition of Francis de Castelnau (1810-1880) to South-America. In 1845 Weddell left the expedition in Paraguay and travelled on his own to Peru and Bolivia to study the genus Cinchona. Three years later he "returned to France with with the most valuable contribution to the materials of the Flora of the High Andes which had ever been brought together" (Hemsley & Pearson). Weddell returned to South America in 1851, at the head of a commercial expedition to investigate the gold deposits in the Tipuani valley and, of course, collect plants. In his travel account he extensively describes the botany and zoology of Bolivia, as well as his misfortunes in acquiring an alpaca, meetings with indigenous people, a ball on the account of a Bolivian wedding and "the filthy horrors of a Bolivian kitchen" (Blackwood's magazine), including several recipes.Hugh (or Hugues) Algernon Weddell (1819-1877) was an Anglo-French physician and botanist, known for his studies on South American flora. In the 1840s and 1850s he published several accounts of his travels in South America as well as an important study on Cinchona. In his later life he turned his attention to lichens, on which he published in the 1870s.Binding lightly worn at the extremities, spine with two damp marks. Some foxing throughout; a very good copy.l Hemsley & Pearson, "Plants from the Bolivian Andes", in: The Journal of the Linnean Society.
