‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Ce recueil est pour ainsi dire une suite de la revue complémentaire des sciences appliquées à la médecine et pharmacie, à l'agriculture, aux arts et à l'industrie... Il pourrait être considéré comme le septième volume de la Revue complémentaire". (Introduction par RASPAIL) ---- "RASPAIL's life is a moving combination of original and fruitful scientific work and reforming, frequently prophetic political activity. Among Frenchmen he is one of the best known of names and his fame has become worldwide, particularly since the upsurge in interest in the history of science among scientists and historians. Raspail held a prominent place in the development of science in the nineteenth century. He belonged to the group of biologists who prepared the way for the rise of the cell theory... An expert microscopist, he not only set forth theoretical considerations of great importance but also made many significant observations... Scientists now agree that he was one of the founders of cytochemistry... The praise accorded to him by Pearse in his classic treatise on histochemistry has substantially contributed to the recent increase in Raspail's reputation in the English-speaking countries... In cellular pathology, he was, along with other contemporary workers, a precursor of Virchow... In organic chemistry he specified the properties of numerous substances".
