WILLIAM FREDERIC EDWARDS, French physiologist, born in Jamaica, the brother of Henri Milne-Edwards, studied under Francois Magendie, who was also a pioneer anthropologist. He has been called "the father of ethnology in France". He was elected to the Royal Society in 1829. Edwards was a vitalist who studied the effect of physical forces on processes in living organisms, "seeking to demonstrate how physical forces such as heat, light, and electricity modified living processes." The present work was translated into English in 1834, by Thomas Hodgkin. See: Jeffrey P. Baker, The Machine in the Nursery: Incubator Technology and the Origins of Newborn Intensive Care. Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996. (p. 16). "After a short excursion into mineralogy, Edward devoted much time to the study of the influence of environmental factors on the 'animal economy.' His early results were honored by the Prix Montyon of the Academie des Sciences (1820), and in 1824 he published his finding in a book. His main idea as that vital processes depend on external physical and chemical forces but are not entirely controlled by them. Life is different from heat, light, or electricity, forces which, however, contribute to the production of vital phenomena. Edwards systematically examined all principal functions, mostly of vertebrate species; and by varying the external conditions, he determine the nature and degree of their modification. Among the phenomena studied were the minimum and maximum temperatures compatible with life; heat production in young and adult animals; resistance of young animals to cold and to lack of oxygen; the importance of humidity, pressure, and movement of air in the loss of heat by transpiration; the role of light in the development of batrachians; and expiration of carbon dioxide by animals deprived of oxygen. Important was his finding that some warm-blooded animals . . . are norm less developed and have a much smaller capacity for heat production than those not born helpless . . . " â" DSB. In 1822, Laennec became Chair of Medicine at the College de France, where Edwards carried out his research under the direction of his mentor, Francois Magendie (1783-1855). This may be the nexus explaining the lengthy presentation to Laennec. The work was quite popular when published. It was translated into English in 1824 by Thomas Hodgkin (1798-1866). "Edwards studied the influence of environmental factors on animal life, concluding that vital processes depend on external physical and chemical forces but are not entirely controlled by them. The work includes an account of Edwards' important experimental work regarding the effect of light on the body." â" Garrison & Morton 145.56, 1991, 598. DSB, IV, pp. 285-6 [by Vladislav Kruta].

Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. 2 ouvrages en 1 volume, Paris, Crochard [et] Compère jeune, 1824 et 1829, in-8, 2 ouvrages en 1 volume, XVI-654-[4] pp, 1 pl. ; [4]-129 pp, Demi-basane tabac de l'époque, dos lisse fileté et orné de fleurons à froid, tranches marbrées, Premières éditions de ces ouvrages, pionniers à différents égards, du naturaliste et ethnologue français William Edwards (1777-1842). Le premier a fait date dans l'histoire de l'écologie animale : l'auteur y traite de l'influence des facteurs environnementaux sur la vie animale ; il relate ainsi de très nombreuses expériences sur les effets de l'air, l'eau, la température, la lumière et l'électricité sur la vie organique. Il contient une planche en lithographie représentant des vues microscopiques du muscle sterno-pubien de la grenouille. Dans le second ouvrage, non moins célèbre, Edwards se confronte à la théorie des "races historiques" établies en 1828 par l'historien Amédée Thierry dans l'Histoire des Gaulois ; il tente ainsi d'établir des relations entre physiologie et histoire en supposant que les principaux caractères physique d'un peuple peuvent se conserver à travers les siècles. Ce travail est considéré comme l'acte de naissance des théories raciales modernes (Marie-France Piguet, "Observation et histoire", L'Homme, 153 | 2000, 93-106). Fils d'un riche planteur anglais, Edwards est né en Jamaïque ; il déménagea avec sa famille à Bruges, où il effectua sa formation médicale. Il travailla notamment en collaboration avec le célèbre physiologiste Magendie. Ex-libris de Jean Rouché. Bon exemplaire, bel état intérieur. Légers frottements au dos. DSB IV, pp. 285-286.
