FIRST COMPLETE EDITION OF "THE BIRTH OF MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF PLANTS" (Horblit). The Anatomy of Plants is the first collected and revised edition of these treatises and lectures, and is recognized as Grew's "chief work which gained him the reputation of being one of the most distinguished scientists of the 17th century" (Hunt). Together with Malpighi, Grew is considered the co-founder of plant anatomy, and both men were among the first to investigate internal plant anatomy with the aid of the microscope and to demonstrate that plants have a characteristic ordered inner structure that could be classified; Grew "showed that the 'cells' first observed by Robert Hooke ... made up the normal structure of the parenchyma, and came very close to recognizing the universal cellular structure of plants" (Norman). "The publication of 'The anatomy of Plants' ... was the highlight of Grew's career as a plant anatomist. An examination of the text and the profuse illustrations in this work reveals the tremendous advance in knowledge which it represents" (DSB V, 535).
