Jean-Baptiste Dubarry (1723-1794), Earl of Barry-Ceres, was a renowned Gascon gentleman, in circles of gallantry, for his lack of ethics. In 1762, he had made Jeanne Bécu (1743-1793) his mistress. The occasion came to present it to Louis XV, who was completely enamored of the young woman. But for her to be an official mistress, she had to be presented to the court. The Roué then obtained from his brother Guillaume that he become the obliging husband. And Jeanne Bécu, now Countess du Barry, was soon the last favorite of the king. Jean du Barry usurped, it is said, the spelling of his name and his arms to du Barry of Ireland. His mistress, under the name of his brother, was to make famous his weapons and the motto "Boute en avant" which accompanies them! The irons adorning the back of the binding have been specially engraved for Jean du Barry by Gravelot. (in Alde Catalog). '' This book is an exhibition of the medicinal virtues of plants. Here we extend not only to native plants, but also to exotics; we develop the benefits that these plants, both native and exotic, can provide to Medicine. We start by giving definitions of diseases, in alphabetical order. As a result, we report the list of plants that may be suitable for the disease, giving further the manner in which they should be used. To make this manual more interesting, we add practical observations on most of the remedies that we have announced and then finish with a Discourse on Anatomy and the Virtues of Plants and a Dissemination on Epidemic Diseases.
