Strana 236 - I had that expectation when I first put a sprig of mint into a glass jar standing inverted in a vessel of water; but when it had continued growing there for some months, I found that the air would neither extinguish a candle, nor was it at all inconvenient to a mouse which I put into it.
Strana 236 - Finding that candles would burn very well in air in which "plants had grown a long time, and having had some reason "to think that there was something attending vegetation "which restored air that had been injured by respiration, I "thought it was possible that the same process might also "restore the air which had been injured by the burning of "candles.
Strana 231 - ... the atmosphere, either in the shape of an exceedingly subtle powder, or more probably in that of an elastic fluid. To this I have given the name of fixed air, and perhaps very improperly ; but I thought it better to use a word already familiar in philosophy, than to invent a new name, before we be more fully acquainted with the nature and properties of this substance, which will probably be the subject of my further inquiry.
Strana 43 - I frequently and seriously bethought me and long revolved in my mind, what might be the quantity of blood which was transmitted, in how short a time its passage might be effected, and the like.
Strana 45 - ... it is absolutely necessary to conclude that the blood in the animal body is impelled in a circle, and is in a state of ceaseless motion...
Strana 232 - ... three or four minutes when the nostrils were shut " by melted suet. And I convinced myself that the change " produced on wholesome air by breathing it, consisted chiefly, "if not solely, in the conversion of part of it into fixed air. " For I found, that by blowing through a pipe into lime water, " or a solution of caustic alkali, the lime was precipitated, and " the alkali was rendered mild.
Strana 43 - ... unless the blood should somehow find its way from the arteries into the veins, and so return to the right side of the heart ; I began to think whether there might not be a A MOTION, AS IT WERE, IN A CIRCLE. Now this I afterwards found to be true...
Strana 9 - Following venerated customs he began his academic labours by "reading" Galen, as others had done before him, using his dissections to illustrate what Galen had said. But time after time the body on the table said plainly something different from that which Galen had written. He tried to do what others had done before him, he tried to believe Galen rather than his own eyes, but his eyes were too strong for him; and in the end he cast Galen and his writings to the winds and taught only what he himself...
Strana 232 - I had discovered that this particular kind of " air, attracted by alkaline substances, is deadly to all animals " that breathe it by the mouth and nostrils together ; but that " if the nostrils were kept shut I was led to think that it might "be breathed with safety. I found for example that when " sparrows died in it in ten or eleven seconds, they would live " in it for three or four minutes when the nostrils were shut
Strana 137 - Some of this spiritus," says he, "this ferment, thus drawn "through the septum begins to multiply even on the right side "of the heart.
