A philosophical and experimental enquiry into the first and general principles of animal and vegetable life likewise into atmospherical air; With A Minute Investigation of the different secondary Principles attendant upon each: Viz. Animal Heat, Sanguification, animal Moisture, Age, Temperament, &c. &c. &c. With a refutation of Dr. Priestley's doctrine of air: Proving, by Experiment, that the Breathing of Animals, Putrefaction, &c. do not phlogisticate, but dephlogisticate the Air; and that the office of that essential Organ the Lungs is not to discharge Phlogiston to the Air, but to receive it from the Air. By Robert Harrington, of the Corporation of Surgeons, London
