Note 67 — Chapter I · Phytotomy founded by Malpighi and Grew. 1671-1682.
Henry E. F. (Henry Edward Fowler) Garnsey translation
Nehemiah Grew, the son of a clergyman in Coventry, appears to have been born in 1628. Having taken a Doctor’s degree in a foreign University, he practised as a physician in his native town, and pursued at the same time his phytotomical researches. He became Secretary to the Royal Society in 1677, and published his ‘Cosmographia Sacra’ in 1701. He died in 1711. See the ‘Biographie Universelle.’
