1922Best.-Nr. 586Paris, Félix Alcan, 1922. Seule et unique édition. In-8 de 13,5 x 22 cm, (4 ff.) 248 pp. Brochure originale, reliure moderne demi-tissu mauve à coins avec plats de papier coloré assortis ; dos lisse, titre en caractère d'imprimerie frappés en doré, un fleuron doré et mention "Diversos Autores" (auteurs divers) en portugais. Tranchefile. Compilation d'articles issus de conférences données courant 1921 à l'École des Hautes Études Sociales par des chercheurs membres de la Société Française d'Eugénique. Sommaire : Eugénique et biologie (Edmond Perrier) ; Eugénique et régimes alimentaires (Frédéric Houssay) ; La sélection humaine (Charles Richet) ; Eugénique et santé nationale (Eugène Apert) ; Natalité et eugénique (Lucien March) ; Conséquences psycho-sociales de la dernière guerre au point de vue eugénique (Georges Papillault) ; Eugénique et mariage (George Schreiber) ; L'eugénique pratique (Leonard Darwin) ; Génétique et adaptation (Lucien Cuénot). Cette anthologie reflète le courant eugéniste tel qu'il existait en France à l'époque, et ses débats et divergences internes. Ainsi, à la radicalité d'un Charles Richet souhaitant écarter les épileptiques et les porteurs de "sang vicié" de la "race forte", répond la prudence d'un Edmond Perrier rappelant que des nouveaux-nés à la santé fragile peuvent devenir des Blaise Pascal ou que des tares latentes peuvent n'apparaître que tardivement et subtilement, en plaidant pour un regard plus nuancé que celui d'un néo-spartiate.

1926Best.-Nr. 0377Paris, Librairie médicale et scientifique E. Le François, 1926. Édition originale. Un fort volume in-8 de 22 x 14,5 cm pour (XIII) 599 pp. Relié demi-chagrin lie-de-vin, dos à 5 faux-nerfs, nom d'auteur et titre en caractères d'imprimerie dorés séparés d'un tiret doré, fleurons dorés, papiers marbrés en camaïeu de rouge à veines blanches tirant sur le blanc, gardes beiges nervurées de bleu. Couverture originale non conservée (à noter qu'elle est quasi identique à la page de titre, elle bien présente). Liste de publications de l'auteur, page de titre, préface du Dr Toulouse, introduction. Index bibliographique en fin de chaque partie regroupant plusieurs chapitres. Index des noms d'auteur, index des notions et table des matières analytique en fin d'ouvrage. Citant les travaux d'Alfred Binet, les racines françaises du test de QI, son développement par les Anglo-Saxons avec les travaux fondateurs de Galton, Lewis Terman, Thorndike, Yerkes et bien d'autres, ce livre constitue un vaste tour d'horizon de la notion de santé mentale à l'époque et une certaine manière objective, quantitative et pré-1945 de l'envisager du haut vers le bas. Rédigé bien avant l'appropriation des thématiques eugéniques par un certain régime allemand et son amalgame à celui-ci, il montre que l'eugénisme et la connaissance quantitative de l'être humain étaient actives dans le monde entier, au-delà des nationalités et des associations politiques. Il commence par l’œuvre eugéniste et scientifique des États-Unis, "un mouvement qui s'est produit après celui de la France" (p.1) mais passé alors à l'avant-garde de l'eugénisme mondial, pour passer au reste de l'Occident et du monde. À noter des passages sur la France, le Brésil, ainsi que sur des enfants mentionnés l'espace d'une page à peine mais extrêmement pertinents aujourd'hui : les "surnormaux" (qu'on appellerait maintenant des surdoués).
