Abstract
DR. WIESNER relates that on his becoming professor of plant physiology in the University of Vienna, more than thirty years ago, he resolved to become familiar with the work of the founders of that science. Soon he became peculiarly interested in the labours of Ingen-Housz, and found that his real worth had not been recognised. Much information was gathered that showed how many-sided his activities had been in science and in medicine, and Prof. Wiesner was induced by the meeting of the International Botanical Congress at Vienna to present the results of his labour of love in this volume. It must rank as a classic, admirable as a biography of a leader in research and as a history of scientific progress in a most important field of study.
