---- Nouvelle édition REVUE, CORRIGEE et AUGMENTEE (de 3 VOLUMES) ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Robinet's most important work. In certain of his statements Robinet appears to be heralding the theory of transformism and the idea that all living beings are constructed according to a single basic plan... Robinet's work illustrates several important elements in the scientific thinking of the second half of the eighteenth century : the unity of nature, the chain of beings, universal dynamism and sensibility and vitalism. It also illustrates the role of Leibnitz in the development of enlightenment ideas on living nature. Robinet's writings cast an interesting light on the genesis of the theory of transformism".

---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Nouvelle édition (deuxième édition), CORRIGEE et CONSIDERABLEMENT AUGMENTEE (DE 12 CHAPITRES NOUVEAUX ET DE NOMBREUSES ET IMPORTANTES NOTES) - LA PREMIERE EDITION NE COMPORTAIT QUE DEUX VOLUMES ---- "Bonnet is considered one of the fathers of modern biology. He is distinguished for both his experimental research and his philosophy, which exerted a profound influence upon the naturalists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A true theoretician of biology, he exercised an enormous influence in this field and maintained a correspondance with almost alle the scientists of his time. He published works that caused a considerable stir... He was not only a remarkable experimentalist and a theoretician with fertile ideas, he was an instigator of a whole series of fundamental experiments. His extraordinary imagination suggested projects that his poor eyesight prevented him form carrying out ; he treated these projects in numerous works, and above all he discussed them with his many correspondents. For instance, he suggested to Spallanzani that he carry out experiments on artificial insemination... He was an enthusiastic champion of preformation, the theory postulating that the animal already existed in miniature in the germ cell. His discovery of parthenogenesis was, to him, proof that the female germ cell contains the preformed individual... His theory of "palingenesis" set forth the functional and structural notion of the cell, which was not stated formally until a hundred years later...". (DSB II pp. 286/287) ---- Cf.

(GARRISON N° 4841 english ed.) ---- "A Classical and Standard Work in Neurology". (MacHenry) ---- "Whytt, a pupil of Monro primus and predecessor of William Cullen in the chair of medicine at Edinburgh, was one of the foremost physicians of the eighteenth century because of his contributions to clinical medicine and particularly to the understanding of reflex action. His clear description of tuberculous meningitis, his explanation of the sentient (sensitivity) principle in involuntary action, and his discussion of the significance of emotions, in the natural history of organic diseases easily offset his mistaken emphasis on the value of lime water in the treatment of calculi in the urinary tract. In this work, Whytt discusses the significance of emotions in the pathogenesis of nervousness, hypochondria, and hysteria".
