‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "BONNET is considered one of the FATHERS OF MODERN BIOLOGY. He is distinguished for both his experimental research and his philosophy, which exerted a profund influence upon the naturalists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries... A true theoretician of biology, he xercised an enormous infuence in this field and maintaine a correspondence with almost all the scientists of his time. He published works that caused a cnsiderable stir... Bonnet was an enthusiastic champion of preformation. This theory which Bonnet christened "palingenesis" set forth the functional structural notion of the cell, which was not stated formally until a hundred years later". (DSB II pp. 286/287)**A1‎
