Schwann: Garrison-Morton 113 (citing 1st German ed., 1839, of Mikroskopische Untersuchungen über die Uebereinstimmung in der Struktur und dem Wachsthum der Thiere und Pflanzen.): "Mainly devoted to the investigation of the elementary structure of animal tissues, Schwann's Untersuchungen had an important bearing on the development of the doctrine of the cell structure of animal tissue. In this work Schwann discarded Schleiden's Uhrglastheorie and put forward a theory of his own. In the same work he described the neurilemma, the 'sheath of Schwann'. . . . English translation (Sydenham Society), 1847 [offered here]." Schleiden: Garrison-Morton 112 (citing 1st German ed., 1838, of Beiträge zur Phytogenesis. Arch. Anat. Physiol. wiss. Med., 137-76., 1838): "Schleiden demonstrated that plant tissues are made up of and developed from groups of cells, of which he recognized the 'cytoblast' or cell-nucleus. He observed with great accuracy certain other activities of cells, and is an important figure in the development of the cell theory. . . . English translation (Sydenham Society) 1847.".…
