A personal selection of articles by the pioneering demographer and anthropologist, inscribed to his niece Jeanne on the initial blank of Volume I, "à ma chère fillette et collaboratrice Jeanne Bertillon. 1880. A. Bertillon", and with a similar inscription in Volume II. The second volume includes five leaves of manuscript notes, while several works bear his pencil annotations. The works collected here, a range of offprints and journal extracts, largely revolve around Bertillon's efforts to use statistical analysis in investigating premature mortality. The articles in Volume I cover more general demographic theories, including comparative mortality, population tables, and cranial analysis, while those in Volume II are more restricted studies of individual countries, continents, and cities, including America, Australia, and Finland. Many are essays contributed to Dechambre's Dictionnaire encyclopédique des sciences médicales. In Volume II, the Dictionnaire encyclopédique article on Austria is accompanied by four leaves of manuscript notes recording population information on Austrian provinces, while the fifth is tipped in to a later article on Great Britain and assesses the median age of the British population following the 1861 census. By 1876, Bertillon (1821-1883) was a professor at the school of anthropology in Paris; a year later he was among the first contributors to the new Annales de Démographie internationale journal (offprints of two of his articles, on population movement, and on the demographics of the Seine-Inférieure, are included in Volume II). In 1878, he chaired the World Congress of Demography in Paris, and two years later he was appointed head of the Parisian Bureau of Statistics. The historian Elizabeth A. Williams has noted that he "showed a remarkable perspicacity in figuring out a large part of the principal demographic problems" (quoted in Hecht, p. 151). Following the death of his wife in 1866, Bertillon persuaded several of his female relatives to manage his household and assist with the many graphs and tables in his works. Unlike another of his relative-assistants, Jeanne Bertillon (1874-1921) didn't bill her uncle for her services, which may explain the warmth of the presentation inscription here. The volumes also include one work by Broca, a close friend of the Bertillons, and two Dictionnaire encyclopédique entries by Louis-Adolphe's son Jacques (1851-1922), himself a respected statistician and an influence on Durkheim. The botanist Achille Guillard (1799-1876), Louis-Adolphe's father-in-law and coiner of the term "demography", also authored or co-authored four of the works in Volume II. A full breakdown of the contents is available on request. Jennifer Michael Hecht, The End of the Soul: Scientific Modernity, Atheism, and Anthropology in France, 2006. Together, 41 works bound in 2 vols, large octavo (238 x 151 mm), individual works from 238 x 175 mm to 219 x 137 mm. With 2 plates (1 folding), extensive tables and graphs in the text, many full-page (2 folding). C.1880 red quarter morocco, spines ruled in blind and lettered in gilt, marbled paper sides and endpapers, green silk bookmarkers. Light wear, slight cockling to covers, minor foxing to otherwise crisp contents, infrequent browning and a couple of short closed tears to inner margins of plates: a very good copy indeed.

A collection of original samples of 23 varieties of mushroom, mounted on paper leaves or bifolia and dried, with manuscript notes providing information about the samples and with an occasional pencil drawing. Most give the name of the mushroom (in Latin or French) and the date and/or place where it was collected. Most were collected in or around Paris or within a few hours travel of Paris. The earliest two, both dated 19 October 1862, give much more detailed information written on a pre-printed (lithographed?) form in script lettering. On the front paste-down is a letterpress label with name and address, "F. Bertillon|3, Rue d'Achères|Maison-Laffitte", the name repeated in a similar label on the front board. This may be François Bertillon (b. 1889), the grandson of the Paris mycologist Louis-Adolphe Bertillon (1821-1883), whose family had a residence at Maison-Laffitte, outside Paris. Louis-Adolphe was the father and François the nephew of the anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon. The samples collected in 1862 and 1869, particularly those of 1862 with the data methodically and scientifically noted on a pre-printed form, were probably described by Louis-Adolphe. François probably found his late grandfather's samples and notes and began collecting himself around 1911, when he would have been 22 years old.As is almost inevitable with samples like these, some parts of the samples have been lost or have come loose from the paper. Some were apparently mounted before they were completely dry and have stained the paper around the samples. But some dried sample survives for all 23 varieties. The portfolio shows some abrasions and some damage from former damp. Loosely inserted in a contemporary half green cloth portfolio with blind-blocked decorations, Gustav chemical-marbled sides (black on green). A mushroom herbarium comprising samples of 23 varieties of mushroom, each mounted on a 4to leaf or the inside of a folded folio leaf and dried, with manuscript notes and an occasional pencil drawing, the two earliest mounted and written on a pre-printed form. Pages: [26] ll., the 2 folio ll. folded in half. 4to & folded folio leaves in a 4to portfolio (23 x 18 cm).
