Excerpt from Zoophytes: With Special Reference to the Buchan Coast
About the same time Henry Baker discharged his last arrow in defence of the mineral theory. In using the microscope he had doubt less observed the beautiful and regular crystallizations which salts, earths, and metals assume, and he stoutly argued that the seeming sea plants were nothing more than crystallizations.
But all the members of the Royal Society were not satisfied. John Ellis, a London merchant, from seeing the polypes in some of our British zoophytes caught a convincing glimpse of the true state of the matter, and prosecuted the study with such ardent zeal that in 1755 he published a work entitled: An Essay towards a Natural History of Corallines and other Marine productions of the same kind commonly found on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. This was the standard English text - book till about 1838.
