Recherches sur la production artificielle des Monstruosits, ou Essais de Tratognie exprimental. Introduction.
Paris, C. Reinwald, 1876. [iv], 50 pp. 8vo (15 x 23 cm.). Original printed wrappers, uncut.
Copy with author's autograph dedication (illegible) . The genuine offprint of 1876, being the very rare prospectus to the first edition (1877) of Dareste's great classic on experimental teratology (see Garrison & Morton 534.64). Dareste has distributed only a very few copies of this 'tirage part' among selected persons. There are three other copies of this offprint known to exist, one with the autograph dedication to baron Larrey.
Recherches sur la production artificielle des monstruosits ou essais de tratognie exprimentale ... Deuxime dition revue et augmente.
Paris, C. Reinwald, 1891. xvi, 590 pp. 8vo (17 x 25 cm.). Original dark red publisher's buckram, spine gilt lettered & decorated, uncut. With 62 figures in the text and 16, partly coloured, chromolithographical plates with their leaves of explanatory text.
A very good and clean copy of this classic work on experimental teratology. Garrison-Morton 534.65: "Dareste devoted his career to experimental teratology, and in this work established the field as a science". This second edition is greatly revised and enlarged (the first of 1877 has only 364 pages). Contains a valuable history of teratology. --(Some scattered light foxing along the edges).
