‎EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Vogt began his studies at Giessen, where he was one of Liebig's best students. In 1835 Vogt went to Berne where he enrolled in Valentin's courses in anatomy and physiology. He received the medical diploma in 1839, but the natural sciences had a greater appeal for him. He enthusiastically agreed to collaborate on a major treatise on Central European freshwater fish, a project headed by Louis Agassiz... He subsequently went to Paris where he began to write his Lettres philosophiques et physiologiques... He taught geology à Giessen and at Geneva... In 1872 he was appointed to the chair of zoology and became director of the Institute of zoology, a post he held until his death. Vogt became the staunch supporter of scientific materialism, later made famous by Ernst Haeckel... Above all, Vogt was a distinguished zoologist whose writings did much to further the development of this science... After having begun to study the embryology of certain freshwater fish under the guidance of Agassiz, he continued this work throughout his life... Vogt espoused Darwin's ideas and became a strong partisan of natural selection...".
