Extrait : "Les anciens avaient reconnu l'existence de l'air, et ils soupçonnaient son importance, puisqu'ils l'avaient placé au nombre des éléments ; mais ce n'est que dans les temps modernes, et même assez rapprochés de nous, que les savants ont pu spécifier ses propriétés, puis sa nature complexe, et enfin le rôle immense qu'il joue dans la vie des êtres organisés (végétaux et animaux).
