---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 986 : "A BRILLIANT INVESTIGATOR IN EXPERIENTAL PHYSIOLOGY AND THE NATURAL SCIENCES, Spallanzani was not a physician ; nevertheless, HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEDICAL SCIENCE EXERTED A LASTING INFLUENCE ON THE PRACTIVE OF MEDICINE. He ranks equally with HALLER in giving impetus to new avenues of physiological investigation and was one of the foremost scientists of the eighteenth century... He studies the respiration, digestion, the senses of bats, the biology of reproduction in animals... In the present work, Sénébier has translated selections on the reproduction of animals and plants from the second volume of Spallanzani's Dissertazioni di fisica animale e vegetabile. Also INCLUDED IN THE WORK TWO LETTERS CONCERNING THE GENERATION OF ANIMALS WRITTEN BY BONNET TO SPALLANZANI IN 1780 AND 1781. The initial portion of the work is an introductory essay by Sénébier entitled "Une ébauche de l'histoire des être organisés avant leur fécondation" ---- DSB XII pp. 553/556 - Bulloch "History of bacteriology" p. 398**4844/A1-4847/A2/4848/CART.3

First collected edition in French, comprising Spallanzani's most important works. He was one of the first to dispute the doctrine of spontaneous generation, making importent experiments in support of his views. He likewise was the first to advance the doctrine of the regeneration of the spinal cord, and showed the reflex actions. Some of his conclusions were similar to those expressed by Pasteur, nearly a century later.

Volume 1 being the revised and enlarged third edition, Volume II (in two parts) being the second edition. Miscolouring to extremities, otherwise a fine set.

A collected set of the second edition and much enlarged third edition of this magnum opus of biology, in which Spencer coined the term ""survival of the fittest"". ""This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr Darwin has called ""natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life"""". (Spencer, Herbert. The Principles of Biology, Vol. I, p. 444).Together with Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley, Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) was responsible for the acceptance of the theory of evolution. His greatest and most influential work in this connection was his ""The Principles of Biology"", which forms the biological part of his grand project for a Synthetic Philosophy, which he worked on from 1862 to 1893. It is on this work that his fame today mainly rests, not least because it was here that he was the first to use the term ""survival of the fittest"" and due to this work that he greatly helped spread the acceptance of the theory of evolution.""The Principles of Biology attempted to reconcile the new Darwinian theory of natural selection with the Lamarckian mechanism of acquired characteristics which Spencer had endorsed long before publication of the Origin of the Species. In Spencer's view, while the Darwinian theory could explain most of biological evolution, the Lamarckian mechanism was necessary to explain 'higher' evolution, and especially the social behavior of humanity. Both theories however, instantiated the principle of evolution. In this sense, therefore, it is incorrect to characterize Spencer as a follower of Darwin. Although he coined the phrase 'survival of the fittest', and is often misrepresented as a thinker who merely applied the Darwininan theory to society, he did not aim to generalize Darwin, but rather to show that natural selection could be accommodated within an overarching principle of evolution that Spencer had independently developed. Biological organisms could be shown to progress, both as individuals and as species, from simple, undifferentiated, homogeneity to complex, differentiated, heterogeneity"" the Darwinian theory was only of significance in providing a partial explanation for this universally observed tendency"" (Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Philosophy vol. 2:1055).""Spencer saw higher forms emerging from a gradual process of adaptation to the environment. The Principles of Biology analyzes the principal mechanisms by which this occurs and relates them to the specialized structures and function of plants and animals."" (D.S.B.: XII, 571).The work was originally issued to subscribers in parts from January 1863 to October 1864 (Vol. I) and January 1865 to March 1867 (Vol. II).

Plates with light occassional brown spots, otherwise a fine and clean copy. Pp. 349-371 + 5 plates.
Scarce offprint issue with author's presentation inscription to Danish biologist of this important paper in which the discovery of nine new species of Amphipodous Crustaceans were first announced. ""In 1877 the Stebbings moved to Tunbridge Wells, Kent, where they lived until their deaths. Although a teacher part of this time, Stebbing devoted most of these years to the study of amphipod Crustacea and to writing. Because of his work on the taxonomy of Crustacea, he became a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1895, fellow of the Royal Society in 1896, and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society in 1908.Stebbing's scientific writings date from 1873"" most of them are devoted to the taxonomy of amphipod Crustacea, on which he published about 110 papers and two major monographs. He received the Amphipoda collected by H.M.S. Challenger on the recommendation of a marine biologist, the Canon A.M. Norman, and published a large monograph on these creatures in 1888."" (DSB).Christian Frederik Lütken, a Danish naturalist 1827 in Sorø, and died in 1901. He obtained a teaching post at the College of Advanced Technology in 1877, and, four years after leaving university, in 1885, he succeeded Steenstrup as chair of zoology. He became a member of the Zoological Society of London in 1879.

The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'alternation of generations', sexual and asexual in plants and animals. ""(Steenstrup) showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which, on the other hand, bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors."" (Garrison & Morton No 217). A German translation was published the same year, and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 (German translation). ""The second major publication - (the first dealing with geology) - of 1842 was ""Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsrækker..."", (the work offered), Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations', that is, the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction, or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso, but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations, based on a significantly wider range of subjects, and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation, won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen, where he tought from 1846 until 1885.""(DSB XII, p. 9).
