1883Best.-Nr. 51495London Harrison and Sons 1883. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1882 Volume 173 - 1883. - Pp. 993-1033 and 5 plates 1 heliogravure instrument 4 folded recordings. First edition of Gaskell's classic in neuroscience on the musculature and innervation of the heart."In the Croonian lecture for 1881 dealing with the frog heart Gaskell presented an important new method for studying heart action later named the "suspension method" and insisted that cardiac inhibition depended less on nerve or ganglionic mechanisms than on the inherent properties of the cardiac musculature. The role of the vagus nerve in inhibition was reduced to that of being the “trophic” anabolic nerve of the cardiac muscle. Yet in the same lecture Gaskell produced impressive evidence against Foster’s myogenic theory of rhythmicity and advocated instead the neurogenic view that discontinuous ganglionic discharges are responsible for the rhythmicity of the normal heartbeat. The background to this defection was exceedingly complex but it derived from an initial assumption which Foster himself accepted that ganglionic impulses - whatever their role in rhythmicity - are somehow involved in coordinating the normal sequence of the vertebrate heartbeat."DSB.Garrison & Morton 829. unknown

1866Best.-Nr. 955P14Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz 1866. First edition. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 6" by 4.5". None. The very scarce first Tauchnitz edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's final novel a smartly bound set. The very scarce first Tauchnitz edition published in the same year as the first U.K. edition in book form.Complete in three volumes.'Wives and Daughters' follows the only daughter of a widowed doctor Molly Gibson as she grows up in a provincial English town in the 1830s.This novel was originally serialised in the 'Cornhill Magazine' from August 1864 to January 1866. Gaskell died before finishing it so the final section was written by Frederick Greenwood.Bound without half-titles. This edition was published by Bernhard Tauchnitz. Tauchnitz started his 'Collection of British Authors' in 1842 and it continued for almost exactly 100 years. By breaking with the European practise of ignoring British copyright law Tauchnitz was a driving force behind international agreements on international copyright protection. The goodwill he gained from British authors enabled him to be the principal continental publisher of English language works. He was often sent early proofs and so was able to first publish at the same time or very soon after the British publisher. In a full calf binding with gilt decoration. Externally smart. A little light rubbing to the boards and spines. A few light marks to the boards mostly to Volume III. Internally firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and clean. Half-titles have been removed.

Discussion on the Origin of Vertebrates. Reprint from Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London Session 122. 1910. pp. ii 9-50.

WOODWARD on one wrapper neat stamp of University College London on each front cover of the main series and either the final plate or text leaf in all other ways a very good set. Exceptionally rare in this form and precedes GARRISON-MORTON #243 The Origin of Vertebrates 1908 - 'Gaskell was probably the most brilliant of Michael Foster's pupils. His history of the origin of vertebrates from invertebrate ancestors is not universally accepted.' In his review of the Linnean Society discussion in NATURE 1910 J. GRAHAM KERR stated - 'The remarks made by Dr. Gaskell and his supporters make it apparent that there exist wide differences between what they accept as the correct principles of morphological research and those which are accepted by other working morphologists. The forgoing paragraphs are not meant as a criticism of Dr. Gaskell's hypothesis. They are merely meant to direct attention to an extraordinary want of agreement as to methods or principles of morphological research.' In part XIII Gaskell sums up his thesis - 'In a series of papers published in this Journal I have developed my theory of the origin of vertebrates and have compared step by step every organ in the arthropod with the corresponding organ in the vertebrate and shown how one after another each has fitted into its right place on the assumption that the arthropod has given rise to the vertebrate without any reversal of surfaces an assumption which necessitates the formation of a new alimentary canal for the vertebrate.' GASKELL 1847-1914 had hoped to complete his study but never did so; in part XIII he stated - 'I am aware that in the course of these papers I have promised at some time to consider separately the vascular and lymphatic systems and the external covering and I still hope to be able some day to publish something on these subjects. At present however I am engaged in putting the whole story into book form and until that is accomplished I am not likely to add to this series.'

He also described the Piltdown Man fossils which were later determined to be fraudulent. He is not related to Henry Woodward whom he replaced as curator of the Geology Department of the British Museum of Natural History. OFFPRINTS from The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, Vols.
