He has done more than any other six men in Her Majesty's dominions and is one of the best noblest and truest that breathes"" page 37. ""This is a curious little book often overlooked in studies of Burton but it deserves closer attention. Of special note is the frontispiece pp. 84-96 which prints a scrap of Burton's autobiography and pages 79-82 which contain a 'List of Captain Burton's Works'"" Casada 369.

Kinsey founded the Institute in 1947 in part ""to create the most complete and most scientific data bank on human sexuality ever compiledÉ Kinsey hired and carefully trained a team of interviewers to gather more case historiesÉ and he also collected a staggering cache of books 'how to' manuals primitive artifacts and implements of an erotic or sexual nature; these were housed at the Institute's library"" ANB. Considering the translated erotica he published through the Kama Shastra Society Burton likely would have appreciated Kinsey's work. Kinsey had an interest in Burton's: in 1948 in fact he enlisted Gershon Legman best known for his scholarly studies of erotic humor as a bibliographer to ""help locate such obscure rarities asÉ the 16 original volumes of Richard Burton's Arabian Nights with their complex and lengthy footnotes on Levantine sexuality"" Mikita Brottman Funny Peculiar. Title and library marking written on spine in white ink.Interior generally clean with foxing mostly confined to free endpapers; Kinsey's inscription still easily legible.

Huntington to front free endpaper frontispiece plate of gall wasps 4 5-577 with b/w illustrations throughout. Spine title faded last 100 pages with light damp-staining at the fore-edge very good in custom archival mylar cover. ALFRED CHARLES KINSEY 1894 – 1956 was an American sexologist biologist and professor of entomology and zoology. In the fall of 1914 Kinsey entered Bowdoin College where he studied entomology under Manton Copeland and In 1916 Kinsey was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society and graduated magna cum laude with degrees in biology and psychology. Kinsey continued his graduate studies at Harvard University's Bussey Institute which had one of the most highly regarded biology programs in the United States. It was there that Kinsey studied applied biology under William Morton Wheeler a scientist who made outstanding contributions to entomology. Kinsey wrote his doctoral thesis on gall wasps zealously collecting samples of the species. He traveled widely and took 26 detailed measurements of hundreds of thousands of gall wasps; his methodology was itself an important contribution to entomology as a science. In 1919 Kinsey was awarded an Sc.D from Harvard University and he accepted an academic post in biology at Indiana University. Kinsey wrote a widely used high-school textbook An Introduction to Biology which was published in October 1926. The book endorsed evolution and unified at the introductory level the previously separate fields of zoology and botany. In 1929 he published The Gall Wasp Genus Cynips: A Study in the Originof Species offered here. Of the more than 18 million insects in the museum's collection some 5 million are gall wasps collected by Kinsey. He initially became interested in different forms of sexual practices in 1933 after discussing the topic extensively with a colleague Robert Kroc. Kinsey had been studying the variations in mating practices among gall wasps. Kinsey obtained research funding from the Rockefeller Foundation which enabled him to further study human sexual behavior. He published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948 followed in 1953 by Sexual Behavior in the Human Female both of which reached the top of the bestseller lists and turned Kinsey into a celebrity. PROVENANCE: CHARLES ELLSWORTH HUNTINGTON 1919 – 2017 an American ornithologist and educator was the director of the Bowdoin Scientific Station on Kent Island New Brunswick from 1953 until 1986. His study of the island's Leach's storm petrel population which he began in the 1950s and continued until his death in 2017 has resulted in "one of the longest data sets on a vertebrate animal in the world". Huntington's lengthy research in collaboration with other scientists resulted in numerous scientific publications including at the end of his life a coauthored paper entitled "The rate of telomere loss is related to maximum lifespan in birds" which was presented at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in 2017 and published in 2018 in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
