About this Item

Chez Marc-Michel Rey | � Amsterdam 1770 | 10 x 17 cm | 2 volumes reli�s | Seconde �dition, apr�s l'originale parue en 1764. Reliure en plein veau d'�poque. Dos � nerfs orn�s de fleurons dans des caissons. Pi�ces de titre en maroquin rouge, et de tomaison en maroquin beige. Coiffe de queue du tome I �lim�e. Un manque au second caisson du second tome. Mors du tome II ouvert en queue. Quelques �pidermures sur les plats. Bonnet (1720-1793) est consid�r� comme l'un des p�res de la biologie moderne (il fut le premier � utiliser le terme d'Evolution en biologie), tant pour ses recherches exp�rimentales que sa philosophie qui eut une profonde influence sur les naturalistes. C'est lorsqu'il fut frapp� de c�cit� qu'il se tourna vers la th�orie. Cet ouvrage reprend les huit premiers chapitres des "Consid�rations sur les corps organis�s", parues en 1762, o� Bonnet expose sa th�orie sur la pr�existence des germes. Bonnet rapporte en outre de nombreuses observations d'histoire naturelle. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Second edition, after the original published in 1764. Contemporary full calf binding. Spine with raised bands decorated with fleurons in compartments. Red morocco title label, and beige morocco volume label. Head of volume I worn. A lack to the second compartment of the second volume. Joints of volume II split at foot. Some surface abrasions to the boards. Bonnet (1720-1793) is considered one of the fathers of modern biology (he was the first to use the term Evolution in biology), both for his experimental research and his philosophy which had a profound influence on naturalists. It was when he was struck with blindness that he turned to theory. This work takes up the first eight chapters of the "Consid�rations sur les corps organis�s," published in 1762, where Bonnet expounds his theory on the preexistence of germs. Bonnet moreover reports numerous observations of natural history. * xxxiv, 324pp. et viij, 291pp.
