Chez D. colas and Chez Gabon Paris (an XIII, i.e. 1805) Contemp. quarter-calf over speckled boards with vellum tips, red morocco spine label, red speckled edges First edition. (6), viii, 164, (1 errata) pp., 13 engraved plates, and a few simple woodcut headpieces in the text. 4to. Drapanaud (1772-1804) distinguished himself in the fields of zoology (principally malacology) and botany.

The complementary volume, which is often lacking due to the 26 -year gap between the two, is not present here. "Besides his observations, he reached certain conclusions in biology and physiology that were remarkably ahead of his time. He introduced in a few words the idea of vital phenomena common to animal and plant life, and attempted to reduce these phenomena to physical and chemical laws. At his dealth Draparnaud left numerous manuscripts in various stages of completion. Only one was published: Historie naturelle des mollusques terrestres et fluviatiles de la France (1805): the others have been lost."- --DSB, IV. pp. 177-178/ --BMC (Readex edition), Vol. 7, p. 671, col. 570.

Humboldt (1769-1859), one of the most famous men of his time, has been called, "the last Universal Man, living at the turning point of universal science toward specialization."--Smit, Hisatory of the Life Sciences, p. 958, citing E. Banse in his 1953 biography, Alexander von Humboldt. Erschliesser einer neuen Welt.

The first edition was published in 1808 in one volume, with the second edition appearing in 1826. It went through many editions and translations. Included is his famouse essay, Ideen zu einer Physiognomik der Gewächse, in which Humboldt described his physiognomic classification of vegetable forms. There are also essays on the flora and fauna of certain South American regions, on the cataracts of the Orinoco River, and on other subjects. "In the last decades of his life Humboldt...prepared the third edition of his favorite work, Ansichten der Natur (1849), an aesthetic presentation of research in natural science and geography and of 'pictures of nature.'"---DSB, VI, pp. 549-555.

Johann Ernst Meyer Breslau 1764 Contemp. calf, spine gilt First edition. 316, (2) pp., 8vo. Jugel was a director of mining activities in Prussia and gathered a consideralble reputation for his knowledge of the world of science and nature, especially chemistry, mineralogy, mining, and iron making. All his life had been devoted to the investigation of nature, and in some 36 books and papers he had recorded his views in the mathematical, mining, and occult sciences. On account of his reputed knowledge of chemistry, he became a member of the Rosicrucian Society. He was, however, attacked by Kopp, who calls his work a "coagulum of nonsense" and considers that he has given proof that the science of the later Rosicrusians was "pseudo- science of the most contemptible kind." Ferguson, I, 440. Kopp, II, pp. 253-257. Caillet 5675. --Ferguson, I, 440. Kopp, II pp. 253-257. Caillet 5675. Some wear to extremities of binding. Some soiling; a few leaves of text underlined.

"Despite Stewart's work there was still controversy as to the identity of typhoid and typhus. Jenner's paper demonstrated that the aetiology of the two was quite different, that one did not communicate or protect against the others and that epidemics of the two did not prevail simultaneously."-- Garrison-Morton 5027. An interesting footnote about Jenner: Garrison, (p. 629), reports that he was a "short, stout, solid, able-bodied man, yet so averse to exercise that he said he would not even walk from his front door to his brougham if he could get someone to carry him." (He achieved 83 years of age.) --Garrison-Morton 5027. Some light wear spots on binding. A very good copy.
