NO SOONER WAS THE EXPEDITION TO THE EQUATOR READY TO DEPART IN 1735 THAN MAUPERTUIS PROPOSED AN EXPEDITION TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. THAT SUCH MEASUREMENTS WOULD SUPPLEMENT AND SERVE AS A CHECK ON THE MEASUREMENTS AT THE EQUATOR WAS A VERY COMPELLING ARGUMENT, AND ONCE AGAIN A ROYAL AUTHORIZATION WAS FORTHCOMING.AT LAST THE QUESTION OF THE FIGURE OF THE EARTH WAS GOING TO BE THROUGHLY INVESTIGATED.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. 2 Parts in 1 Volume [continuous pagination]. 12mo. pp. 4 p.l., 86, 67-194. contemporary mottled calf, gilt back (extremities worn, joints partly cracked, some mild to moderate foxing & a few stains). First Edition of "Maupertuis remarkable work on embryology and genetics. It is divided into two parts: "Dissertation sur l origine des hommes et des animaux" and "Dissertation sur l origine des noirs". The first part was originally published a year earlier under the title "Dissertation physique à l occasion du Nègre blanc" and was written after an albino Negro appeared in Paris. A scientist, philosopher, and original thinker, Maupertuis was years ahead of his time in many aspects of biology, particularly embryology and genetics. His arguments against the then-prevailing theory of peformation and for epigenesis were so close to the idea of evolution that he is a true forerunner of Darwin and Mendel. His theories and observations are contained in this work, which he may have had published anonymously to avoid repercussions from Church authorities." (Heirs of Hippocrates) "The Vénus Physique of 1745 was an enlarged and more fully analyzed argument against the then-dominant biological theory of the preformation of the embryo. Maupertuis argued convincingly that the embryo could not be preformed, either in the egg or in the animalcule (spermatozoon), since hereditary characteristics could be passed down equally through the male or the female parent" (DSB) "Maupertuis' theories of biparental heredity and epigenesis substantially anticipated those of Darwin, Mendel and de Vries nearly a century and a half later."

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 5th or later Edition. Next-to-last (and probably still best) edition of Maupertuis's Collected Works, the final one published in his lifetime. Frontispiece, 2 leaves, vi, 1 leaf, xxviii, 309 pp, [1, errata], 1 leaf [contents]; 2 leaves, iv, 399 pp, 3 leaves [contents, errata]; 2 leaves, vii, [1, errata], 468 pp, 2 leaves [contents]; 2 leaves, viii, 6 leaves [contents, Avertissement], 346 pp, 2 leaves [Approbation] pp. Contemporary full leather. Joints rubbed, a bit worn in some spots, hinges starting. Else a Very Good set. Reprints (in Vol. II) Garrison-Morton 215.2, Vénus physique [1745]. Houzeau & Lancaster (no. 3481) lists a number of editions of Maupertuis's Ouevres, both in two and four volumes and both 8vo and 4to, but the actual existence of each of them remains uncertain. Only one was published after the one offered here, posthumously, also in Lyon and in four volumes, in 1768. The other editions listed by Houzeau & Lancaster are: quarto, Dresden, 1752; 4 vol., 8vo, Paris, 1752; 2 vol., 8vo, Berlin & Lyon, 1753; 4 vol., quarto, Lyon, 1754; 4 vol., 8vo, Lyon, 1754. The edition offered here, the first one to include a portrait of Maupertuis (curious in that Bentley Glass describes him as 'very short. His body was always in motion; he had numerous tics. He was careless of his apparel'), is the only one cited by Glass in his D.S.B. article on Maupertuis (Vol. IX, pp. 186-9). Vénus physique 'was an enlarged and more fully analyzed argument against the then-dominant biological theory of the preformation of the embryo. Maupertuis argued convincingly that the embryo could not be preformed, either in the egg or in the animalcule (spermatozoon), since hereditary characteristics could be passed down equally through the male or the female parent. He rejected the vitalistic notion that some 'essence' from one of the parents could affect the preformed fetus in the other parent, or that maternal impressions could mold the characteristics of the offspring. A strict mechanist, although a believer in the epigenetic view of the origin of the embryo, he looked for some corporeal contribution from each parent as a basis of heredity' (D.S.B. IX: 187). The 1768 edition cannot be much changed from the one offered here, for as Glass notes, Maupertuis 'departed again for France, a very sick man, in May 1756. Greatly distressed by the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, he decided to return home by way of Switzerland. He went to Toulouse, whence he set out again in May 1758. At Basel, too ill to proceed, he was received warmly by his old friend Johann Bernoulli. On 27 July 1759, before his wife could reach him, he died and was buried in Dornach' (p. 188).
