History
André Thoüin (1747-1824), head of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, also elected a Member of the Academie des Sciences in 1795; André's 3 younger brothers: Jacques Thoüin (1751-1836); Gabriel Thoüin (d 1829); Jean Thoüin (d 1827); Their nephew Oscar Leclerc [Thoüin] (1798-1845). Oscar was the son of their sister Louise Thoüin (b.c.1764) and the writer and Revolutionary activist Jean-Baptiste Leclerc (1756-1826).
All were linked with the Jardin des Plantes in Paris and the worlds of botany and agriculture in some capacity and the papers reflect this as their main concern; for more details on the various individuals see Le jardin des plantes á la croisée des chemins avec Andre Thoüin, 1747-1824, edited by Yvonne Letouzey (Paris, 1989).
