underline On Animal Reproductions /underline
There is a Gradation between the Mineral, Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms; the steps of Nature are not abrupt but insensible from the One to the Other, the Ladder of Nature is formed by regular, and equidistant steps.
The Animal Cases called Madrepores, Tubipores, Millepores, and Sertularia, were long considered by Old German Writers as marine Fossils.
Corallines till of late were deemed vegetating Sea Plants.
They are now known to be animal Productions. The Discovery of the Polypus unclear the properties of the Vegetable, and Animal in to one Being.
Leibnitz had long since presumed underline que la nature ne va point par Sants /underline. Instead of Leaps he imagined Nature's gradations to be like the unclear of Colours, imperceptible in their Blendings. Koenig in 1752. published a letter from Leibnitz to his Friend Herman, he says in it underline Les Hommes tiennent aux Animaux, leux-in aux Plantes, et Celles-ci dereches aux Fossilles /underline.
He says that there is nothing absurd in the Existence of Animal Plants, that he imagines such Zoophytes may hereafter be discovered that may be fed, and may multiply from shorts, as off-sets, in the manner of Plants.
Leibnitz is Prophecy was fulfilled by the discovery of the Polypes propagated by off-sets, and by being cut which also partakes of the unclear, as the Head of one Polype may be grafted to the Body of another Polype.
