Description |
English: Discours sur la vegetation des plantes / fait par le chevalier Digby, le 23. janvier 1660, en presence de messieurs de l'Academie royale d'Angleterre, où il montre la methode qu'il faut tenir pour bien cultiver la physique, ensemble l'utilité de plusieurs expe[r]iences tres-curieuses sur ce sujet. A Paris : Chez la veuve Moet, 1667.
Usually singled out for his work on the powder of sympathy, or weapon salve cure, Digby had wide interests in chemical and natural philosophical matters. His experiments on the growth of plants showed that nitre promoted plant growth. This finding entered into the very productive work of English scholars working on nitro-aerial particles, a very interesting forerunner of the discovery of oxygen. This is the French translation of his A Discourse Concerning the Vegetation of Plants (London, 1661). |
