ARISTOTLE 



much of his inspiration came from that source. 

 William Harvey was the first to make any substantial 

 advance in embryology since Aristotle himself. But 

 this is more appropriate to the De generatione than 

 to the De partihus. In other departments of study, 

 hoΛvever, during the seventeenth century, the 

 authority of Aristotle and the scholastic doctrine 

 ^vith which he was, identified were being combated 

 in the name of freedom, and thus it came about that 

 the zoological Λvorks also, Λvhich had been brought 

 to hght by the dark ages, were alloΛved to pass back 

 into oblivion by the age of enlightenment. They were 

 not rediscovered until the end of the eighteenth 

 century by Cuvier (1769-1832) and Saint-Hilaire 

 (1805-1895) in the nineteenth.
