Halbledereinband; Stempel auf einem der 4 Titelblätter. feines Exemplar. The second edition is the first Illustrated and first edition with the subtitle "Botanik als inductive Wissenschaft" Matthias Jakob Schleiden 1804-1881 considered the inductive method the only valid one in biology and the first part of this book constitutes an important document for the study of the methodology of natural history. He declared himself an enemy of all philosophical speculation while at the same time adhering to the views of Kant and rejecting the label of materialist. He completed his attacks against the philosophers with a brief polemical monograph against the philosophy of Schelling and Hegel. The entire structure of Schleiden's textbook was fundamentally new. The lengthy works begins with a study of the material elements of the plant. Next section is a large section of plant cytology and then a treatment of morphology and organology. The book which established the teaching o botany on a completely new basis was often reprinted and appeared in various translations and adaptations. To appreciate the enthusiasm it aroused and its influence in turning young man to the study of botany it is necessary to read the testimony of contemporaries particularly of Julius Sachs a famous botanist and author of the well known history of botany. Schleiden was one of the first to recognize the unique importance of the cell in biology and was a co-founder along with Schwann of the cell theory --- which states that the cell is the basis of both plant and animal life. His fundamentally important textbook of botany which was organized according to this theory contains the first detailed discussion of the structure and function of plant cells and thus marks the beginning of plant cytology. -cf.

Inscribed by Schleiden to William Francis on the front wrapper.</p> <p>A collection of four extremely rare offprints on botanical science by Schleiden whose landmark 1838 paper "Beiträge zur Phytogenesis" marks the beginning of cell theory and plant cytology. The first offprint is on the development of organs in phanerogams plants with seeds; "his theory of the flower and fruit is an admirable performance for the time even though we abandon his view of the stalk nature of placentas and some other notions as we obviously must. As Robert Brown founded the history of the development of the ovule so Schleiden founded that of the flower and his example influenced other botanists" Von Sachs History of Botany 1530-1860. Schleiden presented these offprints to British chemist Dr. William Francis who in 1852 joined with publisher Richard Taylor to found the firm of Taylor and Francis. unknown
