1848 1ed Pieter Harting Microscope DUTCH Biology DARWIN Influence Illustrated 3v
Pieter Harting was 19th-century Dutch scientist who is best remembered for his contributions to the development and use of the microscope and microscopy. He published what proved to be the greatest book on microscopy, titled simple 'The Microscope', which provided lessons on using the microscope as well as covering designs for lens improvements.
It should be noted that Harting was one of the earliest supporters of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories, many of which were endorsed by Harting's microscope findings. In fact, according to Darwin scholar Eve-Marie Engels, Harting was "one of the most influential" of all 19th-century scientists and philosophers.
This 1848 Dutch edition of 'The Microscope' is illustrated with 18 impressive folding engravings featuring numerous figures depicting microscope parts, lenses, cells, burners, and scalpels.

1752 English Reformation Burnet Henry VIII Elizabeth I Portraits Anne Boleyn

As a response to Nicolas Sanders's attack on the English Reformation, Gilbert Burnet published a rebuttal that covered the reign of Henry VIII, through the reign of Elizabeth I. The work saw such success and popularity that his reputation was enhanced and the English Parliament gave thanks to Burnet after the completion of the work. Other notable figures mentioned include Anne Boleyn, Edward VI, Hugh Latimer, Thomas Cranmer, Queen Mary, and still others.

Burnet gives evidences of the difficulties and challenges that the Church of England faced against Catholics and the government as a whole. He also defended his doctrines in this work and "confirmed them in another sermon, in which he also made some reflections on Bishops" that were impactful in English reforms. (Burnet, HRCE, Book III, 307).
