Small nicks to margins of titlepage. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a milestone paper in genetics being the "REDISCOVERY" OF MENDEL'S LAWS OF HEREDITY" - This paper together with the two other papers from the same year by Carl Correns and Erich Tschermak laid the foundations of a new scientific discipline that in 1906 was given the name "genetics" and less than a century later rose to become the leading science in Western society. This French announcement was published 4 days before his longer paper "Das Spaltungsgesetzt der Hybride" in which Mendel is mentioned.De Vries completed most of his hybridization experiments without knowing about Mendel's work. Based on his own results de Vries drew the same conclusions as Mendel. De Vries published his work in 1900 first in French then in German. In the French report there was no mention of Mendel but this was amended by de Vries in the German paper. It is possible that de Vries read Mendel's paper before he published his own and included Mendel's name in the later printing when he realized that other people also knew about Mendel's work. De Vries may have thought that his own conclusions were superior to Mendel's. "During the 1880s de Vries became interested in heredity. In 1889 he published Intracellular Pangenesis in which he critically reviewed previous research on inheritance and advanced the theory that elements in the nucleus ‘pangenes’ determine hereditary traits. To investigate his theories he began breeding plants in 1892 and by 1896 had obtained clear evidence for the segregation of characters in the offspring of crosses in 3:1 ratios. He delayed publishing these results proposing to include them in a larger book but in 1900 he came across the work of Gregor Mendel published 34 years earlier and announced his own findings. This stimulated both Karl Correns and Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg to publish their essentially similar observations."

1819020733Princes Street Corner of Gerard Street Soho: J. Callow 1819. First edition. Illustrated with 12 engraved plates several of them folding octavo pp xxiv 579 i slight age-toning to the front endpaper the half-title and the frontispiece otherwise very clean internally neatly bound in a recent brown half-leather and cloth. With the bookplate of Robert Washington Oates on the front endpaper. Sir William Lawrence 1st Baronet FRCS FRS 1783 -1867 was an English surgeon who became President of the Royal College of Surgeons of London and Serjeant Surgeon to the Queen. In his mid-thirties he published two books of his lectures which contained pre-Darwinian ideas on man's nature and effectively on evolution. In 1819 the second book known by its short title of the Natural history of Man caused a storm of disapproval from conservative and clerical quarters for its supposed atheism and within the medical profession because he advocated a materialist rather than vitalist approach to human life. He was linked by his critics with such other 'revolutionaries' as Thomas Paine and Lord Byron. It was "the first great scientific issue that widely seized the public imagination in Britain a premonition of the debate over Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection exactly forty years later". It contained some remarkable anticipations of later thought but was ruthlessly suppressed. To this day many historical accounts of evolutionary ideas do not mention Lawrence's contribution. He is omitted for example from many of the Darwin biographies from some evolution textbooks essay collections and even from accounts of pre-Darwinian science and religion. Although the only idea of interest which Darwin found in Lawrence was that of sexual selection in man the influence on Alfred Russel Wallace was more positive. Wallace "found in Lawrence a possible mechanism of organic change that of spontaneous variation leading to the formation of new species". First Edition. Half-Leather. Very Good. J. Callow Hardcover

18820159981882 - 1898: Various Publishers 1882. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. The Author's Personal Copies No Duplicates Of His Nineteenth Century Works On Paleontology And Related Areas Of Biology 127 Of His Published Writings Including Original Offprints Extracts Title Pages Manuscripts And Notes In German Or English With A Few Clippings And Photographs Laid In Loosely. Three Volumes Dark Brown Pebbled Cloth Over Brown Patterned Boards. Bindings Worn And Frayed Material Should Be Professionally Rebound With Archival Materials. His Obituary In The American Naturalist Sept 1898 Pp 717-718 Refers To A Total Output Of 143 Papers Being Reported By His Brother Which Possibly Includes Reprints And Translations As He Wrote In Both German And English And This Collection Appears Complete. Baur Was Last A Professor At The University Of Chicago 1892 -1898. Baur Wrote Extensively On Various Paleontological Topics. He Also Built On The Late Nineteenth Century Theory Of Evolution And Wrote Extensively On His Idea That Changes In Morphology Might Be Brought Out By A Change In Environment Including Nutrition Etc. Such That These Changed Characteristics Would Persist In Successive Generations So Long As The Changed Conditions Persisted For Which There Is Now Some Evidence For At Least Three Generations. He Cited Extensively To Personal Observations And Reports From Others. His Work Differs From Weizmann Etc. In That He Maintained That Changes In Environment Could Bring Out Changes In Morphology Without Changes In The Genetic Material Such Changes Persisting In Successive Generations When The Environmental Changes Also Persisted. In One Such 1891 Paper He Concludes With A Citation To Darwin's Letter To Wagner: "In My Opinion The Greatest Error Which I Have Committed Has Been Not Allowing Sufficient Weight To The Direct Action Of The Environment - I.E. Food Climate Etc. -Independently Of Natural Selection." Although Now Dismissed Some Because Of His Neo-Lamarckian Ideas His Departures From Rigorous Scientific Evidence In Genetics Is Perhaps Less Serious Than The Acceptance And Promotion Of The Ideas Of "Phlogiston" By Important Earlier Chemists And Of "Ether" By His Contemporaries Among Important Physicists; And The Emphasis Of The Neo-Lamarckians On Environmental Nutritional And Physiological Factors Is More In Keeping With Modern Understanding Of Individual Development Than The Emphasis Upon Purely Genetic Evolution Which Treats Only Classes Of Individuals By Arbitrary Groupings Into Classes Of Individuals .
