Julius Sachs (1832 97) was an important and influential German
botanist. He attended Charles University in Prague, gaining his
doctorate in 1856. After appointments in Dresden, Chemnitz and
Bonn, he took a professorship at the University of Freiburg in
1867. A year later he accepted a chair at W rzburg, where he stayed
for the rest of his career. Sachs made important contributions
across botanical science, notably in cytology and photosynthesis.
He was also largely responsible for the leap in understanding of
plant physiology that took place in the second half of the
nineteenth century. His famous Textbook of Botany, published here
in the 1875 English translation of the final German edition (1874),
takes the physiological approach that he pioneered and features
hundreds of instructive illustrations and a full index. It was the
most influential botanical text of its day, and the standard
textbook on the subject for many years.
