"Theory of Circulation by Respiration: Synopsis of Its Principles and History" by Emma Willard is a scientific publication that likely emerged in the mid-19th century. This book delves into the intricate relationship between respiration and blood circulation, presenting a unique theory that asserts respiration is the primary motive power behind blood circulation. Willard, an influential figure in education and physiology, articulates her convictions through a mix of personal narrative, scientific inquiry, and historical context. In the text, Willard recounts her intellectual journey and the development of her theory, which emphasizes that animal heat generated by respiration plays a critical role in driving blood circulation. She challenges established medical views, particularly those attributing circulation solely to the heart's mechanical action. Through her theoretical framework, supported by experiments and anecdotal evidence of cases involving cholera and other ailments, she posits that respiratory processes—particularly the formation of heat and steam during breathing—are essential for blood flow. Willard's passionate advocacy for her ideas, despite facing skepticism, underlines her commitment to advancing medical understanding and the importance of scientific inquiry in health.
