179193718London, printed for J. Johnson, 1791, in-4, Front, XII-214-126-[2] pp, 9 pl. dont 1 depl.; front, [2]-IX-197 pp, 9 pl, Reliure ancienne, dos lisse, plats de veau brun rapportés, Célèbre poème scientifique du grand père de Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Cet exemplaire comprend la première édition de la première partie (The Economy of Vegetation) et la troisième édition de la deuxième partie (The Loves of the Plants), enrichie de deux planches supplémentaires par rapport à la première édition de 1789. Le Jardin botanique fut publié de manière inversée, selon le souhait de l'auteur, qui fit d'abord paraître la seconde partie de l'ouvrage (1789 et 1790), la jugeant plus apte à divertir et charmer. Comme dans les autres oeuvres d'Erasmus Darwin, ce poème contient un grand nombre d'informations scientifiques souvent avancées. La première partie, plus scientifique, couvre la philosophie naturelle et fait état de nombreuses recherches et inventions contemporaines, telle que l'histoire du cosmos. En seconde partie, l'auteur explique le système de la reproduction sexuée de Linné avec les propriétés remarquables de certaines plantes en particulier. L'aïeul de Charles postule que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Cette conception d'une transformation progressive des espèces appartient aux sciences de la reproduction et rejoint les théories pré-évolutionnistes qui sont apparues à l'aube du XIXe siècle (Laniel-Musitelli). Néanmoins, son petit-fils, Charles, déclara que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'origine des espèces. Le Jardin botanique est également précieux pour son illustration, qui comporte deux frontispices, 18 planches et une vignette dans le texte : 5 des planches du volume I ont été gravées par William Blake, soit 4 gravures du vase de Portland et la planche de la Fertilisation de l'Égypte, d'après un dessin de Johann Heinrich Füssli (Henry Fuseli), célèbre peintre du Cauchemar.

Cette somme, où se mêlent médecine, biologie et philosophie naturelle, avec certaines intuitions évolutionnistes, a été publiée à l'origine en 1794-1796 (Zoonomia; or the laws of organic life. 2 vols. London, J. Johnson). Le texte est illustré de onze planches, dont cinq en couleurs, qui représentent des expériences de persistence rétinienne et des inventions - ou appareil améliorés - de l'auteur : une machine thérapeutique à décharge électrostatique, consistant en une planchette et deux tubes de verre; un fauteuil orthopédique; une boîte à brosse circulaire pour pulvérisation de quinquina et de céruse dans le traitement de la phtisie; et un "lit de repos mobile à roues", envisagé pour faire tourner les malades afin de les endormir. Erasmus Darwin, inventeur, poète et pionnier en médecine, s'est préoccupé de philosophie naturelle et s'est intéressé aux recherches et inventions contemporaines. Il conçut un moulin à vent horizontal, une charrue améliorée, une pompe rotative ou encore une machine parlante. Il travailla aussi sur la turbine à vapeur, les toilettes, les élévateurs de canal et les télescopes. Il explora encore la formation des nuages, décrivit la photosynthèse et défendit un traitement humain des maladies mentales (Heirs of Hippocrates n° 998). On le considère comme un théoricien précoce de l'évolution : il postulait que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Son célèbre descendant déclara toutefois que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'Origine des espèces (Laniel-Musitelli) : toutefois, Charles Darwin reconnaissait l'intérêt des travaux de son aïeul, en admettant notamment qu'il était "curieux de voir combien le docteur Erasme Darwin, [son] grand-père, dans sa Zoonomia (...), a devancé Lamarck dans ses idées et ses erreurs"*.

Internally a copy in excellent condition.<br/><br/>The grandfather of the illustrious Charles Darwin Erasmus Darwin wrote this treatise on the education of young women to support his own daughters' school at Ashbourne. Darwin's treatise takes a comprehensive view of women's education suggesting that it should reach beyond social skills such as the "perpetual appearance of attention" polite dancing and flattering dress and into formal intellectual pursuits including literature history mathematics and the natural sciences. While he promoted women's education in part to improve the likelihood of companionate marriages Darwin's text tentatively acknowledges that a marital partnership can only function happily when both parties have an intelligent understanding of the world and the ability to participate in it.

Erasmus Darwin 1731-1802 was an English physiologist and poet the grandfather of Charles Darwin. A physician in Litchfield UK Darwin kept an 8 acre botanical garden. Darwin's reputation rests on his long poem The Botanic Garden 1789 which anticipates the Linnaean system. It was crude poetry seemingly written in a carriage while Darwin was traveling between patients. He decribed the plants through a misplaced amusing personification . In the present work he described the plants as having sensation and volition.

"The Botanic Garden an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets appeared in two parts of which the second The Loves of the Plants 1789 was published before the first The Economy of Vegetation 1791. Darwin decided to publish the second part of the work first because it was better suited ‘to entertain and charm.' The first part of the work is more ambitious than the second covering all natural philosophy and embodying many of the researches and inventions of Wedgwood Watt Boulton and others. The design of the totality was Darwin wrote ‘To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science . . . to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany . . . and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist—Linnaeus'" Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
