Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Benjamin, Count RUMFORD.

There is a little wear and rubbing to the boards, though overall the binding is quite nice. VERY GOOD. The text is very crisp and bright, and occasionally unopened. [++] The "Bibliotheque Britannique" provided translations of significant and important papers (mostly extracts, or reviews, though with some complete article translations) that were written primarily in English and then translated into French to reach a wider audience in Europe many of these translations were the first exposure to the papers on the Continent. Many of the leading lights were published here including Jenner, Davy, Thomson, Wollaston, Waterhouse, Gay-Lussac, Pictet, and many others. The journal was active 1796-1815 after which it changed direction somewhat and renamed "Bibliotheque Universelle".

This is the French translation of the short article by Blumenbach that appeared originally in the London Medical Review and Magazine, vol III, 1800. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) German physician, naturalist, physiologist, and anthropologist. Here he seems to me to make a strong case for the "Negro race" to be inferior to whites in no way. At least that is my quick read (I am not fluent in French). He writes: "That the (N)egroes, in regard to their mental faculties and capacity, are not inferior to the rest of the human race. (p 75) The testimonies and examples which serve to prove the truth of the second proposition, respecting the mental faculties, natural talents and ingenuity of the (N)egroes, are equally numerous and incontrovertible. Their astonishing memories, their great activity, and their acuteness in trade, are all circumstances so well known, that it is not necessary to enlarge on them. The great aptitude of the slaves for learning every kind of nice handicraft is equally well known ; and the case is the same in regard to their musical talents, as we have instances of (N)egroes playing the violin in so masterly a manner, that they have gained as much money as enabled them to purchase their liberty. ."

FIRST EDITION. Complete with half-title, engraved title depicting a bust of Democritus and 8 engraved plates; Original boards, an excellent copy with the large bookplate of H.A. and a contemporary signature on title. First edition of this monumental work in the history of comparative anatomy and human development. Blumenbach believed that an organism's morphology was capable of being modified by the environment and that the resultant changes were inherited. He argued that zoological classification should be based on structures associated with an animal's specific functions; it was in this way that he came to make such ground-breaking contributions to comparative primate anatomy. Of special note are the numerous bibliographical references given as footnotes to the text. Blumenbach (1752-1840), physiologist and anthropologist, is widely accepted as one of the founders of scientific anthropology. Probably the most far reaching of all his contributions were his classifications of the human race. He was one of the few during his time to stress the equality of the people that made up each of these variations, regardless of differences.…
