UNCUT IN ORIGINAL BINDING. "As a physician Erasmus Darwin was widely recognized as England's finest medical doctor. He was asked several times to be personal physician to King George although his lack of respect for the monarchy in general and George in particular made this an easy offer to refuse. Much of the philosophy central to Erasmus Darwin's medical beliefs is laid out in his treatise on animal life Zoonomia. Although his views were loaded down with incorrect 18th-century ideas and assumptions. he was generally able to improve the lives of many of his patients using common-sense ideas such as a balanced diet the practice of basic hygiene and the cleaning and dressing of wounds. He was considered progressive in that he believed in a connection between his patient's state of mind and their general health and was one of the first physicians to espouse sympathetic treatment of mental patients who at the time were kept in deplorable conditions. Most of Zoonomia is made up of a Linneaus-inspired classification of all diseases and treatments known at that time. Erasmus tries to arrange them into distinct species genera families and ultimately into four broad classes: diseases of irritation from external sources sensation such as excess pain or pleasure volition caused by desire or aversion and association where diseases of one organ or system can cause other associated problems" Robert Day. This exercise led Darwin to advance the "first consistent all-embracing hypothesis of evolution" Garrison & Morton: "When we observe the essential unity of plan in all warmblooded animals we are led to conclude that they have been alike produced from a single living filament.".

This work is "the celebrated forerunner of Darwinism" and the one which alone has made the author's name memorable apart from his familial connection with Charles Darwin. The work sustains a peculiar but original thesis in which the author attempts to formulate the laws that govern the origin and progress of animal life. There is much in it that seems to foreshadow Darwinism.<br/><br/> Thames and Andrews unknown books

16711002105London: E.T. and R.H. for H. Brome B. Tooke and T. Sawbridge 1671. First edition in English of the complete Colloquia Familiaria of Erasmus first published in 1518 and expanded by Erasmus over the next fifteen years a lively collection of Latin dialogues that found a readership far beyond the Renaissance schoolroom. Originally intended to model colloquial conversation for students of Latin the dialogues feature pointed free-thinking exchanges on modern political religious and philosophical questions. In "Of the Abbot and Learned Woman" an ignorant abbot tries and fails to get the better of the classically educated Magdalia a character almost certainly based on Thomas More's eldest daughter: "I think thou art some sophistress thou protest so wittily." Magdalia: "I will not tell thee what I think thou art." And later: "I have often heard it usually spoken that a wise woman is twice a fool." Magdalia: "Indeed it useth to be said so but by fools." The Colloquia Familiaria was widely read and debated across Europe drawing immediate notice for its anticlerical satire: "its influence on the dialogues of Reformation Germany and Tudor England is a critical commonplace" Zlatar Reformation Fictions 11. The original purpose of the Colloquies as a text for teaching Latin postponed its direct translation; this first complete English edition was published more than 150 years after the work's first appearance. The edition opens with a short life of Erasmus and concludes with the first appearance in English of De utilitate colloquiorum Erasmus's 1526 defense of the Colloquies published after the Sorbonne condemned the book for impiety. In response Erasmus makes a case for the educational value of his dialogues' humor: "I cannot tell whether any thing be learned more successfully than that which is learned in playing." Despite his efforts the Colloquies would remain on the Papal Index of banned books through the end of the nineteenth century. Wing E-3190; PMM 53.
