Preferably works that would have influenced scientists of the early 1800s.
More specifically those concerning ideas relating to evolution, botany, and other natural sciences.

Hypothetical bonus points if you can name some works about linguistics, prehistory, or the Mayans...though obviously those would be more in the social sciences.
