- Grew, Nehemiah. The Anatomy of Plants. 1682.
Philosophical History of Plants
- "To be Copartner in the Secrets of Divine Art. That which were very diserable, unless we should think it impertinent for us to design the Knowing of That, which God hath once thought fit to Do." (3, paragraph 5)
- "Again, it may frequently conduct our minds to the consideration of the State of Animals; as whether there are not divers material Agreements betwixt them both; and what they are." (4, paragraph 8)
comparison "betwixt the Parts of several Plants, and the several Parts of one. And here again, either betwixt any Two of the Parts, or any One of them, and the Whole besides, or all the rest put together" (7, paragraph 13)
- "So, it is not, simply, the Knowledge of many things, but a multifarious Copulation of them in the Mind, that becomes prolifick of further Knowledge." (8, paragraph 16)
- "For although Men do everywhere with frequent pleasure, behold the Outward Elegancies of Plants; yet the Inward Ones, which, generally, are as Precise and Various as the Outward; we see, how usual it is, for the beholding of These, to be omitted by them." (8-9, paragraph 17)
