The anal(nnv and physiology of plants have gained new 

 life, especially in Germany, France, and Italy, since the 

 structure of plants has been examined, without reference to 

 preconceived ideas. John Hedwig, along with many import- 

 ant tiuths, had also given currency to some obvious mistakes, 

 especially in the collection of his scattered works, Leipsig, 

 1 793, in two volimies ; and the correct view (Prodrcmo di Fisi- 

 ca Vegetabile, Padua, 1791) of Andrew Camparetti, professor 

 at Padua, obtained little success, at least in Germany. Antony 

 Krocker, (Dc Plantarum Epidermide, Halle, 1800), and the 

 author of this history, in his Introduction to the Knowledge of 

 Plants, Halle, 1812, endeavoured, indeed, to lay open these 

 mistakes, and to shew the true structure of plants. But more 

 attention was paid in France to the frequently mistaken ideas 

 of C. F. Brisseau Mirbel, of the French Academy, in his 

 Traite d' Anatomic et de Physiologic Vegetales, Paris, 1802. 

 Meanwhile, Flenry Frederick Link, and Charles Asmund 

 lludolphi, professors at Berlin, as also Ludolph Christian 

 Treviranus, professor at Breslau, published more correct 

 views ; (Link, Grundlehen der Anatomic und Physiolo- 

 gic der Pflanzen, Berlin, 1807; Rudolphi, Anatomic der 

 Pflanzen, Berlin, 1807 ; and Treviranus, vom Inwendigen 

 P*au der Gewachse, Gcittingen, 1806.) Since then, Mir- 

 bel has come nearer the truth ; (Exjx)sition et Defense de ma 

 Theoric de V Organization Vegetale, Amsterdam, 1808.)
