The discovery of the circulation of the blood in animals was soon followed by conjectures concerning the existence of a like circulation in the sap of vegetables. These conjectures gave rise to the first improvements in vegetable physiology, which may be dated from the appearance of a set of queries concerning the motion of the juices of plants, published in the Philosophical Transactions, anno 1668. These queries immediately engaged Dr Beale and Dr Tonge, and afterwards Dr Grew, Mr Willoughby, Mr Ray, and Dr Lister, to enter upon the subject; who, in a great variety of observations, struck out the first considerable discoveries in the vegetable œconomy.
