Extract

The results obtained by the author, on analysing the cellular fibre of different kinds of plants, after a sufficient purification, are, on the whole, in conformity with those of Payen. But he considers the formula, which Payen has derived from his results, an inconvenient one; and that the composition of cellular fibre is in conformity with that of inuline, rather than with that of starch, as that chemist has supposed.
