1822015826J. Griffin 1822. Two volumes bound in one 12mo pp 2 212; 4 288 lightly age-toned throughout with the occasional page with mild foxing otherwise very sound internally contemporary half calf and marbled boards rubbed slightly worn at the corners rebacked at some point with a later calf spine. The Oates-Selborne copy with the bookplate of Robert Washington Oates the later presentation labels to the Gilbert White Museum in1955 and the tiny Bibliotecha Oatesiana stamp on the final page. With the earlier bookplate of the surgeon John Wheeley Gough Gutch. A pirated edition without illustrations. It seems scarce - I have only been able to trace two other copies from this publisher in libraries. It is curious that two printers seem to have been involved - H. Price for the first volume and Kaygill on the colophon of the second. There is no seperate title page for the second volume and this seems consistent with the copies on record. In his mid-thirties Lawrence published two books of his lectures which contained pre-Darwinian ideas on man's nature and effectively on evolution. The book was immediately attacked by Abernethy and others for materialism and for undermining the moral welfare of the people. He was forced to withdraw the 1819 first edition after fierce criticism; the Lord Chancellor ruled it blasphemous. However the book's notoriety was such that several publishers issued their own pirated editions keeping the work in print for several decades. A list of the London editions of Lawrence's work taken from OCLCis: 1819 J. Callow authorized 1819 s.n. 1822 W. Benbow 1822 J. Smith 1822 Kaygill & Price unillustrated 1823 R. Carlile 1823 J. Smith 1834 J. T. Cox 1838 J. Taylor 1840 J. Taylor 1844 J. Taylor 1848 H. G. Bohn 1866 Bell & Daldy Editions were also published in Edinburgh and America. Darwin owned one of the unauthorized editions listed above the one issued by "the notorious shoemaker-turned-publisher William Benbow who financed his flaming politics by selling pornographic prints" Desmond & Moore Darwin p. 253. Darwin was obviously impressed with Lawrence's work citing it five times in The Descent of Man 1871. Lawrence over the later years became a pillar of the establishment. T.H. Huxley submitted the proof of his "Man's Place in Nature" to him for errors. Lawrence could find none but gave a severe warning of the dangers of publication. Forty years on from his own publishing disaster the experience was still obviously.much in his thoughts. Half-Leather. Good. J. Griffin Hardcover
1892016586Albany New York: Weed Parsons & Company 1892. Illustrated with a frontispiece an allegorical plate and a facsimile letter from Victor Hugo small octavo pp xii 200 11 rather age-toned but otherwise very clean and tight original maroon pebble cloth slightly worn and rubbed. SCARCE. The title is about as direct as the rest of the book. The ramblings of this "crazy Frenchman at Albany" shed very little light on the actual events of his life but give an incredible sense of the energetic character of Louis Menand. There are exuberant paeans to his wife Adelaide whom he calls "Phanerogyne" meaning "remarkable woman" who died in 1890. There are rambling thoughts on the various revolutions and republics in France a scathing appraisal of his arrival in a free land "where slavery was flourishing as carnations" and tales of intrigues at flower exhibitions all told in the least linear style imaginable. He was the son of a gardener in Burgundy France. As early as he could remember he was fascinated by horticulture. "I was eight or nine years old" he later wrote "when I began to try to grow plants from cuttings. I have always been fond of cutting properly or figuratively speaking except cutting my fingers." Eventually Louis became an estate gardener in Paris and later in the Champagne region. In 1837 he came to New York and went to work at nurseries in Halett's Cove which would later become Astoria. There he met a young piano teacher from Albany named Adelaide Jackson. They fell in love and were married in her family home on Park Place in Albany and soon took up residence in what they called "the haunted house" on the Albany-Troy Road Broadway. Louis began selling plants. After a rough first year "more than modest that is to say meagre I might say miserable!!" things began to pick up. Menand had a fair collection of "hardy perennial plants" which had become pretty popular in the Albany/Troy area. Later he sold Norway spruces balsam firs and other popular trees and shrubs. In 1847 he was able to buy several acres of land on what is now Menand Road where Ganser-Smith Park is now located for his greenhouses and nursery. He cultivated plants that no doubt had never before been seen in this old Dutch town -- camellias palm ferns cacti and orchids among others. He was noted for importing exotic plants from Europe and commanded an impressive price for his best camellias: "a little plant four inches high would sell for $25." Menand won significant awards for his plants through the years and continued to grow. He bought 31 acres near the entrance to Albany Rural Cemetery where he set up his son with a half dozen hot houses devoted to growing cut flowers roses carnations pansies geraniums and "an almost endless variety of other species suitable for cemetery decoration." These included all manner of shrubs which no doubt still influence the scenery in the cemetery. His greenhouses were so popular that the Albany and Northern Railroad added a stop there in 1856 named "Menand's Crossing" which the succeeding Delaware and Hudson Railroad renamed "Menand's Station." .
