81 2121 Chambers R 
= Second Dutch ed. of (the anonymously publ.) Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844) by Robert Chambers, a collection of evolutionary ideas on the transmutation of species. The work, both controversial and popular, preceded the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). "The Vestiges played a significant role in mid-nineteenth-century biology. By presenting an evolutionary view of nature, it received the first wave of reaction and thus eased the way for Darwin's Origin of Species fifteen years later." (DSB III, p.192).

= Partington, A History of Chemistry IV, p.656ff. Rare first edition of this groundbreaking work on physical chemistry. "Van 't Hoff's book on chemical dynamics deals with reaction velocity and thermodynamics, and the theory of affinity as based on free energy. In a review of the book in 1885, Arrhenius said that the author: 'succeeds with relatively scanty experimental material in developing an imposing and harmonious scheme for the whole subject of chemical influences and actions... an enormous perspective has been opened out for future investigation'." (Partington).

- Occas. sl. foxed. Good/ fine copy.
= French ed. of the 6th ed. of l'Uomo di genio (1894), first publ. as Genio e Follia (1864), by the influential Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909). PMM 364: "[Lombroso] maintained that criminals are more often found to suffer from physical, nervous and mental abnormalities than non-criminals, and that these abnormalities are either inherited or the result of physical degeneration. This reference of mental phenomena to purely physical and biological causes follows Comtian theory, and like it requires forcing and exaggeration of the evidence. The fallacies involved were revealed in Lombroso's later Genio e Follia, 1864, in which he unsuccessfully attempted to show that genius was also a form of degeneration akin to madness."
AND a copy of the German ed. of the same work.
