First collected edition of von Mohl's great classical works. This marks the beginning of modern biology, and is of great rarity. "With the use of improved microscopes and techniques the broader became the understanding of the basic elements forming living tissue. Hugo von Mohl (1805-1872), professor of botany at Tübingen, gave the name protoplasm to the mucilaginous material within the plant cell adjacent to the membrane, a term that has grown to connote living substance and the founder of plant cytology" (Dibner). "After a century Mohl remains famous for his works on the microscopic anatomy of plants and for his contributions to knowledge of the plant cell." (Dictionary of Scientific Biography)."In the early nineteenth century, however, the study of plant cells was revived, notably in Germany by Treviranus and von Mohl" (PMM).Lower corner cut from title; some foxing; first free endpaper w. some contemp. annots. in German and library cancellation stamp.
