SPALLANZANI, Lazaro. Autograph-letter of Spal- lanzani. 1 leaf. 25 lines written in a well legible hand-writ- ting. Pavia, 18. April 1788. Ers.'85.—= Autograph letter, written and signed by Lazaro Spallanzani. « Spallan- zani (1729-99), was an investigator of singular power. He discovered the digestive power of saliva, and reaffirmed the solvent property of the ga- stric juice, showing that it will act outsid2 the body, and that it cannot only prevent putrefaction, but will inhibit it when once begun. He made impor- tant investigations of the respiratory exchanges in warm-and-cold-blooded animals. A most important investigation of Spallanzani’s bore upon the doctrine of spontaneous generation » (Garrison). The present autograph-letter of this great investigator is of singular interest as containing an detailed criticism on Scopoli’s work on the gastric juice. Spallanzani uses very malicious words in speaking about his antagonist. — The letter in good condition. 272. SPALLANZANI, L. De’ fenomeni delia circolazio- ne.
