A42101	The comparative anatomy of trunks together with an account of their vegetation grounded thereupon; in two parts: the former read before the Royal Society, Feb. 25. 1674/5; the latter, June 17. 1675. The whole explicated by several figures in nineteen copper-plates; presented to the Royal Society in the years 1673. and 1674. By Nehemiah Grew, M.D. and fellow of the Royal Society.

evident_a from_o hence_o in_o that_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v the_o size_n of_o the_o plant_n but_o be_v great_a and_o many_o in_o some_o small_a plant_n and_o small_a and_o few_o in_o some_o other_o that_o be_v large_a so_o vine_n and_o corn_n as_o we_o have_v former_o observe_v have_v proportionable_o a_o great_a number_n of_o air-vessel_n and_o those_o very_a large_a by_o which_o mean_v the_o sap_n be_v attenuate_v and_o less_o oily_a and_o more_o copious_o impregnate_v with_o a_o subtle_a volatile_a and_o winy_a spirit_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n cane_n which_o yield_v that_o sweet_a juice_n whereof_o sugar_n be_v make_v and_o which_o also_o abound_v with_o a_o volatile_a and_o inflameable_a spirit_n these_o i_o say_v obtain_v the_o like_a over_o proportion_n of_o air-vessel_n to_o what_o we_o see_v in_o most_o plant_n hence_o also_o it_o be_v that_o none_o of_o the_o say_a plant_n have_v any_o considerable_a bark_n that_o so_o the_o attenuate_a and_o subtilize_a air_n may_v have_v a_o more_o easy_a and_o plentiful_a admission_n at_o the_o trunk_n also_o for_o which_o reason_n likewise_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o skin_n of_o some_o cane_n be_v as_o

large_a air-vessel_n have_v also_o the_o great_a abundance_n either_o of_o a_o sweet_a or_o of_o a_o winy_n liquor_n so_o in_o apple_n they_o be_v large_a than_o in_o crab_n in_o warden_n large_a

a_o oily_a as_o be_v remarkable_o see_v in_o fir_n and_o other_o resiniferous_a tree_n these_o have_v if_o not_o the_o small_a yet_o the_o few_o air-vessel_n of_o all_o other_o tree_n if_o it_o be_v ask_v how_o a_o plant_n come_v to_o have_v any_o oil_n at_o all_o in_o any_o part_n since_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sap_n by_o which_o the_o root_n be_v feed_v seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o water_n and_o that_o many_o plant_n which_o yield_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o stillatitious_a oil_n as_o mint_n rue_n and_o other_o will_v yet_o grow_v in_o water_n i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v inquire_v how_o this_o water_n be_v make_v wine_n or_o oil_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n but_o that_o the_o oil_n and_o all_o other_o vegetable_a principle_n be_v actual_o existent_a in_o and_o mix_v per_fw-la minima_fw-la though_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a small_a proportion_n with_o the_o water_n even_o as_o we_o see_v the_o distil_a water_n of_o anise_v seed_n penyroyal_n and_o the_o like_a to_o be_v impregnate_v with_o their_o own_o oil_n which_o give_v the_o taste_n and_o smell_v to_o such_o water_n wherefore_o as_o a_o certain_a quantity_n of_o any_o salt_n may_v be_v dissolve_v in_o water_n beyond_o which_o it_o will_v not_o mix_v therewith_o but_o remain_v under_o its_o own_o form_n so_o be_v there_o a_o certain_a proportion_n of_o oil_n though_o far_o less_o which_o may_v also_o be_v perfect_o mix_v with_o water_n and_o be_v certain_o so_o more_o or_o less_o with_o all_o the_o water_n in_o the_o world_n but_o if_o that_o proportion_n or_o degree_n of_o impregnation_n be_v once_o exceed_v the_o particle_n of_o oil_n do_v then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o gather_v into_o a_o body_n and_o appear_v under_o their_o own_o form_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o all_o kind_n of_o vegetable_a principle_n be_v either_o in_o or_o together_o with_o the_o water_n with_o less_o difference_n first_o receive_v into_o a_o plant._n but_o when_o they_o be_v once_o therein_o they_o be_v then_o separate_v that_o be_v to_o say_v filter_v some_o from_o other_o in_o very_o different_a proportion_n and_o conjunction_n by_o the_o several_a part_n the_o watery_a by_o one_o part_n the_o airy_a by_o another_o the_o oily_a by_o another_o and_o so_o the_o rest_n and_o so_o every_o part_n be_v the_o receptacle_n of_o a_o liquor_n become_v peculiar_a not_o by_o any_o transformation_n but_o only_o the_o percolation_n of_o part_n out_o of_o the_o common_a mass_n or_o stock_n of_o sap._n and_o so_o all_o those_o part_n of_o the_o sap._n which_o be_v superfluous_a to_o any_o kind_n of_o plant_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n discharge_v back_o by_o perspiration_n into_o the_o air._n and_o hence_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o various_a percolation_n and_o separation_n of_o the_o sap_n may_v still_o the_o better_a answer_n her_o end_n hence_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o she_o careful_o see_v not_o only_o to_o the_o special_a nature_n of_o the_o organ_n by_o which_o she_o do_v her_o work_n but_o likewise_o to_o their_o very_a position_n thus_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o whereas_o the_o lymphduct_n which_o carry_v a_o more_o watery_a liquor_n be_v still_o place_v on_o the_o inner_a verge_n of_o the_o bark_n next_o to_o the_o air-uessel_n the_o lactiferous_a and_o resiniferous_a vessel_n of_o plant_n to_o who_o oily_a liquor_n a_o mixture_n of_o much_o air_n be_v incongruous_a do_v usual_o stand_v neither_o on_o the_o inner_a nor_o the_o outer_a verge_n of_o the_o bark_n but_o in_o the_o middle_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o be_v at_o the_o great_a distance_n and_o so_o most_o secure_a from_o the_o air_n either_o that_o which_o enter_v the_o bark_n at_o the_o circumference_n or_o from_o the_o wood_n and_o pith._n and_o because_o the_o resinous_n liquor_n of_o plant_n be_v more_o oily_a than_o their_o milky_a their_o security_n therefore_o from_o the_o approach_n of_o the_o air_n be_v yet_o further_o contrive_v in_o that_o in_o pine_n and_o other_o resinous_n tree_n the_o diametral_a portion_n be_v never_o find_v at_o least_o not_o visible_a which_o yet_o in_o other_o tree_n be_v conspicuous_a be_v those_o part_n who_o office_n it_o be_v to_o introduce_v the_o air_n from_o the_o wood_n into_o the_o bark_n again_o the_o milky_a liquor_n of_o plant_n be_v thin_a than_o the_o resinous_n and_o have_v a_o considerable_a quantity_n of_o water_n mix_v with_o their_o oil_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o milky_a plant_n as_o in_o rhus_n there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o lymphduct_n and_o those_o stand_v near_o to_o the_o milky_a vessel_n than_o they_o do_v in_o pine_n and_o the_o like_a to_o the_o resinous_n by_o which_o mean_v they_o be_v better_o fit_v to_o affuse_v their_o aqueous_a part_n more_o plentiful_o to_o the_o say_v milky_a liquor_n from_o the_o mixture_n of_o watery_a part_n with_o the_o oily_a it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o whereas_o all_o lympha_n mucilage_n and_o rosin_n be_v transparent_a the_o aquae-oleous_a liquor_n of_o plant_n be_v milky_a or_o white_a or_o otherwise_o opacous_a for_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o whiteness_n of_o vegetable_a as_o of_o animalmilk_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o more_o copious_a mixture_n of_o watery_a and_o oily_a part_n per_fw-la minima_fw-la or_o into_o one_o body_n for_o even_o the_o serous_a and_o oily_a part_n of_o animal_n milk_n when_o thorough_o separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o they_o both_o become_v very_o transparent_a so_o the_o stillatitious_a oil_n of_o anise_v seed_n be_v most_o transparent_a and_o limpid_a even_o as_o water_v itself_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o know_a sort_n of_o white_a anise-seed_n water_n as_o it_o be_v common_o call_v that_o be_v to_o say_v wherein_o the_o oil_n in_o distillation_n arise_v and_o be_v mix_v more_o plentiful_o with_o the_o water_n and_o the_o water_n wherein_o the_o stillatitious_a oil_n of_o any_o vegetable_a be_v dissolve_v become_v a_o perfect_a white_a milk_n as_o in_o this_o honourable_a and_o learned_a presence_n i_o have_v former_o have_v occasion_n to_o demonstrate_v and_o that_o the_o milky_a liquor_n of_o all_o vetables_n

because_o their_o air-vessel_n be_v small_a they_o be_v therefore_o but_o dwarf_n plant_n wherefore_o the_o tallness_n or_o advancement_n of_o a_o plant_n or_o tree_n depend_v not_o upon_o the_o

in_o oak_n the_o tree_n grow_v very_o thick_a because_o the_o say_a vessel_n thus_o stand_v all_o along_o near_o to_o the_o insertion_n there_o be_v a_o more_o ready_a and_o copious_a passage_n of_o

the_o trunk_n of_o vegetable_n be_v either_o round_a or_o angular_a those_o of_o all_o tree_n be_v round_o because_o the_o bark_n be_v here_o thick_a and_o the_o air-vessel_n bind_v up_o with_o a_o
