Farther Inquiries Into the Changes Induced on Atmospheric Air, by the Germination of Seeds, the Vegetation of Plants, and the Respiration of Animals (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Farther Inquiries Into the Changes Induced on Atmospheric Air, by the Germination of Seeds, the Vegetation of Plants, and the Respiration of Animals

In these additional Inquiries, the Author has greatly extended his researches into the Chan ges induced on the Air by the Vegetation of Plants and if his success beanany proportion to the pains which he has taken, he hopes that he may be found to have disentangled some of the perplexi ties, and reconciled some of the differences which have hitherto'prevailed on this important subject. The views which he has suggested respecting the Colours of Plants arose naturally in the order in which they are presented and the attempt to connect them with other curious operations in the vegetable econo'myi, will, he trusts, add consider ably to their interest and value. If an apology be deemed necessary for the length to which he has extended the section on the Agency of Light' he would beg to state, that some partsi of that section were composed with reference to ulte'rior views, which, for the present, he has been induced to postpone.
