Description
London: Bowdery and Kerby; Edinburgh: Blackwood, 1844. First Edition in English. 244 x 152 mm. (9 1/2 x 6"). 2 p.l., xii, 349 pp. Translated by Robert Anstruther. QUITE PRETTY NAVY BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO BY TAFFIN (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers with a net of oval fillets, floral ornaments at the points where lines intersect, raised bands, spine gilt in similar design, gilt titling, gilt-ruled turn-ins, royal blue silk endleaves, top edge gilt. With two frontispiece portraits of the author, one on heavy stock and one on chine, and nine etchings on chine, illustrating each of the book's nine episodes. WITH AN AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR tipped in at front. ◆Spine sunned to a dark blue-green, joints and extremities with just a hint of rubbing, but the binding still lustrous and a fine copy internally, clean, fresh, and bright, with lovely wide-margined paper. In an elegant Parisian binding, this is the first appearance in English of Lamartine's 1836 epic poem relating the story of a young seminarian who becomes caught up in the French Revolution, falls in love with a young woman, but renounces this chance at earthly happiness to become a priest and serve God. Lamartine (1790-1869) was a multi-faceted man who is recognized as the first Romantic poet in France as well as an influential politician who served as head of state during the Second Republic. A special feature of the present copy is an autograph letter from Lamartine to Marie-Éléonore Magu (1788-1860), a weaver in Lizy-sur-Ourcq who gained renown as a poet of the common man. Magu issued four editions of his poetry in 1839-40, and attracted the attention of Lamartine and other literary lights; George Sand wrote the introduction for the 1845 edition of his works. In the present letter, dated 19 April 1842, Lamartine warmly responds to an earlier missive from Magu, thanking the poet for the honor of writing to him. Lamartine assures Magu that he will write to the minister of Public Instruction, saying that he will be "happy to contribute to you obtaining all that you ask." Exactly what Magu was seeking is unclear, but it may have involved a pension that was bestowed on him by Ministers Villemain and Savandy. The Taffin bindery in Paris was the upscale hand-bindery operated by Lille publishers and trade binders Taffin-Lefort. Flety notes that Taffin took over the rue de Savoie workshop of E. Rouselle in 1895 and, after a move to new premises following the First World War, the bindery continued to operate until 1954..

Description
New York: Basic Books, 1987. First edition, first printing. FIRST PRINTING OF PIONEERING APPLICATION OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY TO NEUROLOGY, INSCRIBED FROM ONE NOBEL LAUREATE TO ANOTHER. 9 1/2 inches tall hardcover, publisher's blue cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed front free endpaper, "For Marshall Nirenberg/ My warm regards/ and admiration/ Gerry", i-xxii, 371 pp, many figures in text, folding color plate. Near fine in near fine jacket in protective mylar sleeve. GERALD M. EDELMAN (1929 – 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system. Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules. In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind. Obituary published in Science, 27 June 2014: "Edelman's work in the 1960s revealed the chemical structure of antibody molecules, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1972. While the discovery of the structure of antibody and of CAMs are undisputed landmarks in biology, the theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism from the title of Edelman's book and dubbed 'neural Edelmanism' by Francis Crick, has remained controversial and not well understood. Yet there are good reasons to believe that Neural Darwinism represents Edelman's most important legacy and that it will endure as a classic. When Neural Darwinism was published, the extent to which the brain is plastic was unclear. Today, demonstrations of plasticity fill neruoscience publications, vindicating Edelman's stance, and we now realize that almost any encounter with the environment during a waking day will strengthen many brain circuits." PROVENANCE: MARSHALL WARREN NIERENBERG (1927 - 2010) shared a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 with Har Gobind Khorana and Robert W. Holley for "breaking the genetic code" and describing how it operates in protein synthesis.Nirenberg's groundbreaking experiments advanced him to become the head of the Section of Biochemical Genetics in 1962 in the National Heart Institute (now the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute), where he remained a laboratory chief until his death. Nirenberg provided the first step in deciphering the codons of the genetic code and the first demonstration of messenger RNA. Within a few years, his research team had performed similar experiments and found that three-base repeats of adenosine (AAA) produced the amino acid lysine, and cytosine repeats (CCC) produced proline.
