‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "One of the early writers on histology, Robin published a large number of papers and books on the microscope and microscopic structures". (Bulloch History of bacteriology p. 392) ---- "He was the leading proponent of the Société of biologie... Through P.F. Rayer, Robin met Emile Littré and was introduced to Auguste Comte, whose lectures on positivist philosophy captivated him. In positivism Robin found the possibility of giving to his specialized studies a doctrinal unity. Lamarck introduced the term biologie into France and Comte and Littré had popularized it. But Robin was responsible for its final acceptance and for the later elaboration of the concept of general biology in French scientific circles... His positivist biology exercised a significant influence on the orientation of physiological, medical and zoological research in France... He set forth in detail his own ideas on biology in two books : Du microscope and tableau d'anatomie...". (DSB XI)**4513/B5DE-4516/CART9‎
