INGENHOUSZ (Jan). Nouvelles expériences et observations sur divers objets de physique. Paris, Théophile Barrois, 1785. In-8, brown basane, ornate spine, red edges (period binding). Numerous restorations to binding (headbands, spines and corners). 4 folding plates in fine. Good condition inside. A British physician and botanist of Dutch origin, Jan Ingenhousz (or Ingen-Housz, 1730-1799) was introduced to the sciences by the physician Sir John Pringle (1707-1782, President of the Royal Society and physician to the King), whom he followed to London, where he met Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) and Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). He became an early advocate of variolization (vaccination against smallpox). In 1768, he travelled to Vienna to vaccinate the family of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780), where he remained for over ten years. In 1779, after Priestley's discovery of oxygen, Ingenhousz turned his attention to plants and discovered the role of light in photosynthesis. In 1780, he published his Experiments on Plants. In 1778, on July 9, he read before the Assembly of the Royal Society of London, his new method of obtaining light in the field by means of a very small bottle charged with electricity, a description which corresponds to the future electric light bulb. In 1785 and 1788, Jan Ingenhousz took part in the debate on electroculture. He was also the author of a famous experiment on the thermal conductivity of metals (1789). He was the first to use glass plates in electrostatic machines.
