Spine ends and board edges a bit rubbed with tiny bit of cloth flaking at base of spine; internally complete and quite fresh the endpapers and hinges clean and strong text firm and unmarked; in all a tight Very Good copy. A key work in Darwin's evolutionary canon originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man but published separately for cost considerations. Darwin's meticulously documented thesis that certain expressions of emotion are if not universal then at least highly correlated across human cultures as well as across animal species has never been seriously challenged. The heliotype plates most of which are printed from original negatives represented an important milestone in scientific book illustration; they were included at considerable expense despite the objections of Darwin's publishers who warned that their inclusion would "poke a terrible hole" in the book's profits. A quite nice copy of a book which while not strictly uncommon is typically found well-worn. D. Appleton & Co unknown

LEONARD DARWIN 1850 – 1943 son of Charles Darwin and president of the Congress was an English politician economist and eugenicist. He was president of the Royal Geographical Society from 1908 to 1911 and chairman of the British Eugenics Society from 1911 to 1928 – succeeding his half-cousin once removed Francis Galton. Darwin played an important part in the life of the geneticist and statistician Ronald Fisher supporting him intellectually morally and sometimes financially. Cited by RC Engs in The Eugenics Movement 2005: "As the early-twentieth-century eugenics movement spread on both sides of the Atlantic the First International Eugenics Congress brought together eugenics leaders from the United States Britain Germany and other countries. The congress held at the University of London Jiily 24-30 1912 was hosted by the British Eugenics Education Society. Attendance included 324 individuals from around the world. The conference name tags bore the likeness of Francis Galton the father of eugenics. This major race improvement or eugenics conference was aimed at all organizations and individuals studying eugenics race hygiene and heredity. Britain's pivotal eugenics leader Leonard Darwin son of naturalist Charles Darwin served as chairman. Other British delegates included eugenics author C. W. Saleeby geneticist William Bateson 1861-1926 and Winston Churchill 1874-1965 then secretary of state for home affairs and later prime minister. Eugenics supporter and Statistician R. A. Fisher as a student served as a steward; statistician Karl Pearson did not attend. From the United States 'vice presidents' or those who helped organize the conferences included inventor Alexander Graham Bell eugenics leader Charles Davenport university presidents Charles Eliot and David Starr Jordan. Other notable American delegates were anthropologist Henry Fairfield Osbom; eugenics supporter Madison Grant; and geneticists William E. Castle Frederick A. Woods and Raymond Pearl. The conference sessions were divided into four categories the relationship of eugenics to 1 biological research 2 sociological and historical research 3 legislation and social customs and 4 the practical applications of eugenic principles. The papers and proceedings from the conference program were published by the Eugenics Society in two volumes. Vol. I. Problems in Eugenics: Papers Communicated to the First International Eugenics Congress 1912 contained 490 pages. Most of the papers presented at the conference were found in this volume offered here. Specific titles included "Eugenics and Militarism" "The Influence of Race on History" and "Backward Children." Vol. 2 Problems in Eugenics: Report of Proceedings contained 189 pages. Although it ineluded a few papers its primary focus was discussion following presentations. A planning committee was formed to plan the next congress in 1913. However due to World War I the committee did not meet until October 1919 in London where it agreed to hold a Second Intemational Congress of Eugenics in New York in 1921."
