ISBN: 0195053613 "Eugenics is the branch of biology concerned with the improvement of hereditary qualities in humans. It draws scientists into direct contact with social and political policy makers. Yet eugenic movements which have been mainly implemented by politicians often differ significantly from the original aims of the scientists. The four contributors to this volume examine the eugenic movements in Germany France Brazil and the Soviet Union. The scientific components of those programmes are considered alongside the social religious and political forces which significantly altered the original scientific goals. The book opens up new and comparative perspectives on the history of eugenics and the social aspects of science in general." – Publisher.

In the lower margin has been inked "Tickets sold at the Book Store of Mr Bolles Steam Boat Hotel & at the doors". 18" x 12" <br/><br/>"Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra declined rapidly under Roman rule in large part from the revision of sea-based trade routes. In 363 an earthquake destroyed many buildings and crippled the vital water management system. In the 12th century the Crusaders built fortresses but left after a while. As a result Petra was forgotten for the Western world until the 19th century. The first European to describe them the ruins was Swiss traveller Johann Ludwig Burckhardt during his travels in 1812. The Scottish painter David Roberts visited Petra in 1839 and returned to England with sketches ." Wiki In this advertisement "Mr Swift" announces "a course of 2 lectures in the New London Court House in this place commencing Wednesday evening April 14th upon PETRA or The Excavated City". He exclaims that the lecture will be accompanied by "Seventeen large and beautifully executed paintings representing the present condition of these wonderful and justly celebrated cities." The broadside then goes on to describe in detail the subject of each of the 17 paintings. He concludes by asserting "The views exhibited are real Paintings --- not Magic Lantern illusions." No doubt this Mr Smith was riding the coattails of Roberts' sketches. one wonders where today might be found those paintings. And if no longer extant here we document their onetime existence. As an aside it should be noted that Eli Smith had a bit of a brouhaha with one J. S. Buckingham who also published some text on Petra of which Smith felt there were inaccuracies and so published same. The contretemps resulting in Buckingham publishing an 1840 pamphlet documenting the correspondence between the two: PUBLIC ADDRESS DELIVERED BY MR. BUCKINGHAM In DEFENSE Of His LECTURES On PALESTINE AGAINST The CRITICISMS Of The REV. ELI SMITH PUBLISHED ANONYMOUSLY In The NEW YORK OBSERVER In 1839. No copies of this broadside found on OCLC.
