1881réf. 57971Tokyo Nishimura Tomijiro Fukuda Eizo Meiji 21 1881. 8vo. In the original cloth binding with printed front board depicting a monkey reading a newspaper. Light wear and soiling to extremities and end papers soiled otherwise in fine condition. 285 pp. 3 plates. The rare first Japanese translation of W. P. Lyon's anti-evolutionary text ' Homo versus Darwin'. It constitutes the very first publication in Japanese to reject Darwin's theory. A year after the publication the book was banned for 'corrupting public morals'.The present work is Lyon's reply to the publication of Darwin's The Descent of Man. Here he sees Darwin being charged by Homo of denying him from being a creature made by a God and declaring man to be merely some kind of animal. The author is recorded as being 'Eisa Gurei' Asa Gray but in 1986 a study confirmed the text to be a translation of Lyon's work.'Saru no Saiban' is an important work in the history of the reception of Darwinism in Japan. Darwin's theories had a profound influence on Japan and Japanese culture but in a slightly different way than in the West: Darwinism was marked as social and political principles primarily embraced by social thinkers philosophers and politicians to advocate the superiority of Japanese culture and society and military and not by biologists and zoologists. "It was as if Darwin's famous oceanic journey and the meticulous research into the animal and plant kingdoms that he spent his life undertaking had all been staged as an elaborate excuse for composing a theory whose true object was Victorian society and the fate of the world's modern nations."

1881réf. 27509AB1881. London and New York Macmillan and Co. 1881. 4°. XVI 624 pages including an original full page potrtrait-engraving of scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Original Hardcover recently beautifully rebacked with gilt lettering on spine. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Pages 559 to 564 with central tear. Few small library stamps discarded. Also with a contribution by Darwin in the section "Letter to the editor" Darwin responds to an article "Leaves injured at Night by free radiation". James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE 13 June 1831 5 November 1879 was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation bringing together for the first time electricity magnetism and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton. With the publication of "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865 Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves. Maxwell helped develop the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases. He is also known for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and for his foundational work on analysing the rigidity of rod-and-joint frameworks trusses like those in many bridges. His discoveries helped usher in the era of modern physics laying the foundation for such fields as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th-century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th-century physics. His contributions to the science are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as those of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. In the millennium poll a survey of the 100 most prominent physicists Maxwell was voted the third greatest physicist of all time behind only Newton and Einstein. On the centenary of Maxwell's birthday Einstein described Maxwell's work as the "most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton". Wikipedia hardcover

réf. 168593 Albion Grove West Islington. 22 February 1849. 1p. 4to. 31 lines of text written in a neat and close hand. The letter begins in lighthearted fashion: 'Dear Martha I never wrote Poetry in my life and write as you see a very prosaic Hand; I hope you are not one who form your ideas of character from Handwriting if you do I ifear you will regard me as stiff stubborn unbending self willed and self-opinionated and very likely you will be not far wrong.' He boasts of having known the recipient and her 'three amiable sisters' for 14 years and discusses his relationship with them their father being his mother's cousin and the fact that his sister who died at the age of 14 in 1830 'was named Alison Dewar White: she was a lovely girl and was removed just when her accomplishments had begun to manifest themselves and her education to tell'. The final paragraph concerns 'the Rev James Hamilton author of "Life in Earnest" "The Dew of Hermon" & many other admirable tracts & essays . He is a man of very considerable mental powers of a most cultivated intellect specially fond of botany & entomology and like me a Fellow off the Linnean Society of London'. The letter concludes: 'my paper fails & I get garrulously gossiping'. In 1851 Darwin provided White with a testimonial in which he expressed his 'high opinion' of his 'Zoological attainments' and praising his 'great zeal for every branch of Natural History'. 3 Albion Grove West, Islington. 22 February 1849. unknown
