Thomas Bennet, Daniel Brown, Mr. Hunt, 1699. 1st Edition. Full Leather Fine Binding (Hardcover). VG+. First Edition. Recently rebound, full leather binding with 5 raised bands to the spine, two compartments with gilt titled leather labels and date in gilt at the foot. [xii] 1-108 [ii] 1-58 [2], 8 folding plates after William Cowper (1666-1709) by Michael Vander Gucht (1660-1725). This work represents the first formulation of the idea of the 'missing link', which was more fully explored by the works of Huxley and Darwin in the 19th century. The boards are in fine condition. The fore edges of three leaves have been conserved such that they show a 5mm or so band of japanese paper. The title page has two areas of loss that have been conserved, as has a tiny chip at the edge of p5. All folding plates are in very good condition, though several have small areas on conservation on the folded edges and plate one has a very small tear at the joint. There is slight rippling to some pages, light general spotting mainly, but not exclusively, to the wide fore edge margins which are toned as would be expected. 'The first work to demonstrate scientifically the structural relationships between man and anthropoid ape' (Norman). 'The earliest important study in comparative morphology... [Tyson] established a new family of anthropoid apes standing between monkey and man... [he] did not foresee the theory of evolution, but his work contributed substantially to its formulation and in that sense he was a forerunner of Blumenbach, Buffon, Huxley and Darwin' (PMM). Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.

It became known for its innovative format that combined major research papers with responses solicited from the field. The format, now known as the "CA treatment" was unique in its time and was copied by other journals such as Behavioral and Brain Sciences. While the journal has changed over the years, its original principles are still clearly present and can be traced back to the unique collaboration between the Foundation, led by Paul Fejos,and the…

They called themselves The People, but to nearly everyone else in their world they were known as The Enemy. And they earned the name in every respect. Seldom has any people fought harder for the preservation of their territory and their way of life. We know them today as the Apache, an ancient people who, in historic times, made a prolonged and desperate effort to drive the Spanish, the Mexicans and finally the Anglo-Americans out of their ancestral lands. Unsuccessful, they were placed in four reservations, on or near their original ranges in Arizona and New Mexico, some of the most ruggedly beautiful land in this country. There most of them still live, accepting the White ways yet keeping many of the old…
