Summary "Antony van Leeuwenhoek, de ontdekker der infusorien, 1675-1875" by P. J. Haaxman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the life and contributions of the pioneering Dutch scientist Antony van Leeuwenhoek, emphasizing his role in the discovery of microorganisms and the advancement of microscopy. The book likely explores both his scientific achievements and the personal background that shaped his work. At the start of the text, the author outlines the significance of Leeuwenhoek's discoveries and sets the stage for commemorating his contributions during a scientific celebration planned for 1875, marking two hundred years since Leeuwenhoek first observed tiny living organisms in water. The opening also highlights the academic discussions surrounding the exact timing of Leeuwenhoek's discoveries, reflecting on letters and scientific communication that positioned him as a key figure in early microbiology. Moreover, P. J. Haaxman notes the lack of recognition that Leeuwenhoek faced from his contemporaries, despite his remarkable achievements and the esteem he garnered from the scientific community abroad.
