Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed compendium of the living principle, or, as it is often called, the âvital forceâ in plants. The text begins with extensive definitions and descriptions, then moves into a discussion of the forceâs character, composition, sources, and the assimilation of organic constituents. The author, himself a scholar, brings to his subject both historical and contemporary references, offering readers a detailed overview of what was then known as âAgricultural Chemistryâ. His examination of the properties and actions of what he terms âsimple substancesâ and âcompound bodiesâ is groundbreaking and offers not only extensive classification but draws relations between the two, denoting organic and inorganic constituents, as well as acids, alkalies, and salts. This book is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in botany, agriculture, and the natural world.
