8vo. 446, [ads] 32 pp. Foxed. Blind-stamped blue cloth, gilt spine; rubbed. Very good. FIRST EDITION. "During 1880-1881 Pearson found diversion from his legal studies in lecturing on Martin Luther at Hampstead, and on socialism, Marx, and Lassalle at workingmen's clubs in Soho. In 1882-1884 he gave a number of courses of lectures around London on German social life and thought from the earliest times up to the sixteenth century, and on Luther's influence on the material and intellectual welfare of Germany. In addition, he published in the Academy, Athenaeum, and elsewhere a substantial number of letters, articles, and reviews relating to Luther. Many of these were later republished, together with other lectures delivered between 1885-1887, in his The Ethic of Freethought (1888)." DSB. DSB, X, pp. 447-473.

[" Pearson was an English mathematician and biostatistician. He has been credited with establishing the discipline of mathematical statistics.[3][4] He founded the world's first university statistics department at University College, London in 1911, and contributed significantly to the field of biometrics and meteorology. Pearson was also a proponent of social Darwinism, eugenics and scientific racism. Pearson was a protégé and biographer of Sir Francis Galton. .,.Pearson was important in the founding of the school of biometrics, which was a competing theory to describe evolution and population inheritance at the turn of the 20th century. His series of eighteen papers, "Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution" established him as the founder of the biometrical school for inheritance. In fact, Pearson devoted much time during 1893 to 1904 to developing statistical techniques for biometry.[29] These techniques, which are widely used today for statistical analysis, include the chi-squared test, standard deviation, and correlation and regression coefficients. Pearson's Law of Ancestral Heredity stated that germ plasm consisted of heritable elements inherited from the parents as well as from more distant ancestors, the proportion of which varied for different traits.[30] Karl Pearson was a follower of Galton, and although the two differed in some respects, Pearson used a substantial amount of Francis Galton's statistical concepts in his formulation of the biometrical school for inheritance, such as the law of regression.,." - wikipedia].

8vo. Pages 262-280. [Entire volume: viii, 548 pp.] 2 diagrams, tables. Original blind-stamped navy cloth, gilt spine; re-backed, new end-leaves. Ex library copy, paper spine label removed. Fine. FIRST EDITION. Francis Galton was influenced by Darwin's belief that inheritance is conditioned by a blending mechanism. Galton propounded his law of ancestral heredity, which set the average contribution of each parent at 1/4, of each grandparent at 1/16, and so forth. Pearson and his colleagues pursued the notion in a series of sophisticated researches, but Galton's law received withering criticisms after the rediscovery, in 1900, of Mendel's work on particulate inheritance. Here Pearson proposes a variability criterion between contending theories of inheritance. See: DSB, X, pp. 447-473.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (19,5 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 14 p. First and only Turkish edition of this important, rare, and the first work on eugenics in Turkey in book form, translated by Balaban from English, from a lecture Pearson gave at Oxford University, including the idea of the human race can be grown more perfectly in the future as well as the species of animals and plants. Balaban indicated in his preface of the work that Eugenism is discussed in the western world under the leadership of Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), and it should be progressed in Turkey as well. Especially in this period when epidemics are common, the book emphasizes how important it is to combat these diseases. Mustafa Rahmi Balaban (1888-1953), tried to spread the principles and methods of modern pedagogy and contribute to the training of teachers in that period when the number of modern education and training institutions and the number of books and teachers is extremely low since 1923, when he was appointed as a member of the Turkish Ministry of Education, Copyright and Translation Committee, as a well-trained educator. He wrote about eighty copyrighted and translated works in fields such as pedagogy, philosophy, ethics, Turkish language, children's literature, civilization, and cultural history, and more than sixty of them were published. "Karl [Carl] Pearson (1857-1936) was a biometrician who became the first Galton Chair of Eugenics at University College London, where he also taught as a professor of applied mathematics and mechanics (Porter, 2013). He is remembered for being a founder of modern statistics (Porter, 2013). Pearson published the book, The Grammar of Science in 1892, which prompted him to emphasize the importance of data and statistics in biological and social sciences (Porter, 2013). These beliefs influenced Pearson's thoughts on natural selection and turned him towards eugenics (Porter, 2013). Pearson also helped found the first journal dealing with modern statistics, Biometrika with Sir Francis Galton, and Walter F. R. Weldon (Porter, 2013). Pearson was fascinated with heredity and statistics (Paul & Moore, 2010). He launched various studies on the differences in eye color, fertility, and longevity (Paul & Moore, 2010). Although he was influenced by Galton, his eugenic views were much harsher. For instance, he believed that "superior and inferior races cannot coexist; if the former is to make effective use of global resources; the latter must be extirpated" (Pearson, 1901, as cited in Paul & Moore, 2010, p. 39)."

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. The letter begins with a reference to 'Mrs Baker's death'. Pearson and his wife 'had not realised the gravity of her illness', as they had recently seen her 'so well and fresh in spirit'. He wishes he had been able to accept Peirce's suggestion of 'putting me up for tonight' in order to be 'present tomorrow', but he is 'overdone and had work till 6 o'clock arranged for today, so that to come down by the night train tonight & track back tomorrow night have been more than I could safely attempt'. He would have wished to be present, but thinks his wife 'was right in instructing me not to attempt it'. He begins a long postscript by stating that he would be 'very glad to talk over "ancestry" with you some day'. He has often wondered if Peirce is 'related to the American Peirces in particular to my old fellow student in Berlin, Benjamin Osgood Peirce [(1854-1914), mathematician], now Professor at Harvard'. Professor Peirce 'comes of North Country Friends, but 20 years ago I was not so interested as now in tracing pedigrees, & did not enquiry [sic] whether it was Yorkshire or Northumberland.' From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Zustand: Very Good. Duodecimo, 4 pages on 2 conjugate leaves, Hampstead, 29 March 1899. Folded for posting; a few light smudges; paper a little unevenly tanned; in very good condition. The letter, addressed to a Dr Williams, begins with a declaration: 'I hasten to say, that I personally am not a believer in telegony' (a theory of heredity claiming that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent). He corrects a misunderstanding that may have arisen from something he said regarding dog and horse breeders; 'It is also attested of negresses that have born to a white man that they will bear afterwards partially white children to a black man. some years ago I investigated the matter by testing for some five hundred pairs of sons & daughters whether the younger were more like the Father than the Mother, but I could find no trace of it. Francis Galton at the discussion which followed the paper spoke of telegony as a superstition, and Lankester, Poulton & others had nothing to say in favour of it'. He refers to Charles Darwin's account in '"Origin of Species" . of Lord Morton's quagga', and notes that Ewart has been trying to repeat the experiment, without success. 'I should say that telegony, like the inheritance of acquired characters may have an element of truth in it, but all the arguments in favour of it so far deduced are from the scientific standpoint worthless. It is a widespread superstition'. Karl Pearson 'has been credited with establishing the discipline of mathematical statistics. He founded the world's first university statistics department at University College London in 1911, and contributed significantly to the field of biometrics and meteorology. Pearson was also a proponent of Social Darwinism and eugenics, and his thought is an example of what is today described as scientific racism' (Wikipedia). He was the first Galton Professor of Eugenics, holding the chair from 1911 to 1933.
