INGENHOUZ, John, in Biography, an eminent pny- 

 fician and chemift, was born at Breda in the year 1730. 

 Little is known of his early life; but in 1767 he came to 

 England with a view of obtaining information on the Sut- 

 tonian method of inoculation for the fmall-po>:, and in the 

 following year he went, on the recommendation of the late 

 fir John Pringle, to Vienna, to inoculate the archduchefs 

 Therefa-Elizabeth, only daughter of Jofeph II., and the 

 archdukes Ferdinand and Maxin.ilian, brothers of the cm- 

 peror. For thefe fervices he obtained rewards and honours : 

 he was made body-phyfician and counfellor" of ftatc to their 

 iinperial majefties, with a penfion of 6og/. per annum. In 

 the following fpring he went to Italy; and inoculated the 

 grand duke of Tufcany : after this he returned to England, 

 to which he was much attached, where he fpent his time in 

 fcieiitific purfuits. He publiihed a very valuable work, en- 

 titled " Experiments on Vegetables, difcovering their great 

 power of purifying the common air in funlTiine, biit injuring 

 it in the (hade and night." This work was firlt pub!ifi;cd 

 in 1779, and has been frequently referred to by Dr. Prieftley 

 and others, who have carried their obfervations much far- 

 ther. It was tranflated into the French and German lan- 

 guages, and highly eftecmed by all the experimental philoio- 

 phers of that period. He afcertained, that not only from ■ 

 the green matter found on ftagnant waters, but likewif^ • 

 from the leaves of vegetables, from the green branches and • 

 flioots, even from the entire vegetable, when placed under 

 water and expofed to the folar light, oxygen gas, in a Itate 

 generally of great purity, is evolved; and as the refult of 

 his numerous experiments he adopted the' conclufion, that 

 oxygen is elaborated in the leaves ar.d "other organs of vege- 

 tables, by a vital adtion excited and fitftained by the folar 'light. 

 The doctor, through the whole- bflifc,'was fo:id of CAhibiting 

 among his friend?, parUcularly young perfoiis, expernoent's 

 of this kind, which rcqmrcd fcarccly 'any apparatus, except- 

 ing a bell glafs and a phial or two, and with the oxygen i^us 

 which he obtained from cabbage kaves or other vegetal le.'.,
