John Ellis (1710-1776) was a pioneering zoologist and microscopist who established the animal nature of zoophytes and laid the foundation of marine biology in Britain and Europe. In this work Ellis makes a clear distinction between plants and animals and proves that corals and Bryozoa are animals. This Dutch edition includes plate 38 (not present in the original English version), showing the multiplication of corals. The last plate shows Mr. Cuff's microscope, which the author used for his research. From the "Luyken Landfort" library (armorial bookplate on upper pastedown).

Ah! si vous avez vu mes oeuvres et surtout "Le chou" peint en 1880 exposé dernierement à la Libre esthétique. Les Monet de 1880 son noirs et opaques et les Van Gogh n'existerent pas alors. (...) Les critiques parisiens n'ont pas signalé mes oeuvres. Oui, ma place n'indiqueant parmi les premiers chercheurs de lumière dans votre livre si complet. Vous ecrivez bien à propos "Ensor n'a nullement la réputation qu'il mérite", c'est ca un effet de l'ingnorance de certain critique et de l''absurde besoin de coller une etiquette au dos des artistes (...)".
