PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS. I. The Croonian Lecture. A farther investigation of the component parts of the Blood. By Sir EVERARD HOME, Bart. V. P. R. S. Read November 4, 1819. As the capacity of one individual is rarely able to bring to perfection different branches of science, it is no wonder that, in the investigation of so complex a subject as the component parts of the blood, HEWSON failed, HUNTER fell short in the attempt, and Dr. YOUNG, after the interesting discovery of the colouring matter being readily separated from the red globules, made no farther advance. This view of the subject, led me, at the time I ventured upon this enquiry, to engage as my associates, Mr. BAUER, whose microscopical observations have been too long put to the proof, to admit of their being disputed; and Professor BRANDE, whose chemical researches, and the judgment with which they have been pursued, are fully established. In two former Lectures, assisted by these skilful coadjutors, I have been enabled to prove, that the human blood in the |
