(Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Changes Induced on Atmos...)
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Changes Induced on Atmospheric Air: By the Germination of Seeds, the Vegetation of Plants, and the Respiration of Animals The investigation of the subject of the following Treatise was suggested to the author by accidentally observing the spontaneous recovery of an animal in whom all the appearances of life had been suspended by drowning. Reflecting on this part of the pathology of respiration, and on the theories which have been proposed to explain it, he was led to consider with particular attention the physiology of that function. The result of his inquiry terminated in a conviction, that although many great and important steps had been made, yet much hypothetical conjecture was blended with established fact, and many suppositions were admitted into our theories which but ill accorded with the structure and economy of the animal system.

Excerpt from Farther Inquiries Into the Changes Induced on Atmospheric Air, by the Germination of Seeds, the Vegetation of Plants, and the Respiration of Animals At the close of his former publication, the Author intimated his intention of prosecuting his inquiries, if the public approbation of his labours should be such as to encourage their continuance, and future experience should appear to confirm his views. An interval of four years has now elapsed since the date of his former Work, during which period many important additions have been made to the various branches of research connected with the subjects discussed in this volume; and the new views, which the late discoveries of Mr Davy have introduced into Chemical Science, may also be expected to extend their influence to all its Physiological applications. From these causes, joined to the Author's endeavours to correct some of his former opinions, and to illustrate and improve others, the additions which he now brings forward, have insensibly acquired a size greater than that of his original Work.

Botanist physician president author
He was born in Minsterworth in Gloucestershire.
He studied medicine in London including Anatomy training under Sir Astley Cooper.
He was an important contributor to the Encyclopaedia Britannica (6th edition). He was president of the Royal Medical Society in 1806. He appears to have also been a skilful mezzotint artist.
He received a commission in the Essex Cavalry as an Army Surgeon around 1796 but appears not to have served abroad and saw service only in Ireland and Scotland.
The regiment moved to the west of Scotland to deal with an issue with the local militia and from there were sent to Ireland to quell the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The regiment was disbanded on its return to England and Ellis then returned to Scotland in 1801 to study further, partly under Professor James Jeffray.
He qualified Doctor of Medicine at Glasgow University in 1804. Having failed to obtain a post in his desired destination of Cheltenham he instead moved to Edinburgh.
However his interests here quickly moved from medicine to botany.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1812, one of his proposers being John Playfair. In the 1820s he was one of the several parties involved in the relocation of the Botanic Gardens from Leith Walk to its current site in Inverleith. He simultaneously chose to build a new house for himself on the eastern edge of the Gardens: 13 Inverleith Row.
He died in his house at 13 Inverleith Row, Edinburgh on 17 January 1841 following a ten day illness, and is buried in Street John"s Episcopal Churchyard immediately south-west of the church undercroft.
Ellis did not marry and had no children. In Edinburgh he lived with “two female relatives”.
