The Influence of Civic Life, Sedentary Habits, and Intellectual Refinement, on Human Health, and Human Happiness, Including an Estimate of the Balance of Enjoyment and Suffering in the Different Gradations of Society.

Leading edges gilt; gilt inner dentelle. Matching green endpapers. Green silk ribbon. All edges gilt. First edition of this rare and early vegetarian work. J. F. Newton (1767-1837) sought to popularise the vegetable and distilled water diet of the physician and veganism pioneer William Lambe, whose patient he was. In his book, Newton promoted his own "regimen of distilled water and vegetable diet" (p. 66), believing vegetables to be the natural food of man and animal flesh unhealthy and unnatural. It was Newton who converted Percy B. Shelley to a vegetarian lifestyle, and his book influenced the poet's 1813 pamphlet on vegetarianism and animal rights, "A Vindication of Natural Diet". - Bound with this is a rare hygienic work by the surgeon J. Johnson (1777-1845), physician to the Duke of Clarence (afterward King William IV). - Interior very slightly browned, but a fine specimen, beautifully bound by Charles Hering for the library of Charles Stanhope, Viscount Petersham and afterwards the 4th Earl of Harrington (1780-1851). Known as "Beau" Petersham, the eccentric but much-imitated gentleman was a close friend of the Prince Regent George, who emulated his mannerisms in clothing, tea mixes, and consumption of snuff. Lord Petersham designed many of his own clothes and his fashions were quickly copied; he made famous the "Harrington" hat and the "Petersham" overcoat. The final pages of the present volume contain contemporary handwritten annotations about the poisonous effects of a fruitarian diet of (quoted from Jacques de Sade's "Mémoires pour la vie de Pétrarque") and about the high regard in which Galen and Hippocrates held water and abstinence, very likely in Petersham's own hand. …

First edition of this pioneering work of vegetarianism, in which the author advocates for the medical and intellectual benefits of a meat-free diet. It was a great influence on fellow vegetarian Percy Bysshe Shelley as well as on Mary Shelley's depiction of the Creature as a herbivore in Frankenstein. This is a particularly well-preserved copy in the original boards. Newton (1767-1837) promoted a diet of fruit, vegetables, raisins, bread, eggs, milk, and potatoes, and he drank only distilled water because of his belief that the Thames was contaminated with animal fat. Unlike his mentor William Lambe (1765-1847), Newton was not a vegan. He inspired several significant figures to adopt a vegetarian diet, including the physician John Snow (1813-1858) and Percy Shelley, whose Vindication of Natural Diet (1813) echoed Newton's ideas. "It is from his meeting with John Newton in November 1812 that Shelley's proselytising vegetarianism dates. From Newton's book he drew many of his arguments" (Crook and Guiton, p. 77). The two men differed in the fact that Newton was mainly concerned with the scientific benefits rather than the moral implications of vegetarianism. "Though not a doctor, Newton regarded The Return to Nature principally as a work of medicine; he had himself found relief from chronic asthma through vegetarianism and was anxious to impart to others the knowledge of its benefits in a number of diseases" (ibid.). However, "in one of his most surprising and emphatic passages", Newton ventures into a diatribe against "the monster syphilis with all its gorgon terrors" and explains his hope that vegetarianism could cause it to "be driven from the earth" (p. 131). This was expanded upon by Shelley in his own writing through his emphasis on the immorality of consuming flesh in all its guises, along with his link between a carnivorous diet and alcoholism. He made use of the allegory of Prometheus; it was only through the unnatural theft of fire that humans gained the ability to transform meat from bloody flesh into something fit for consumption. Newton was also an occasional guest of Mary Shelley's father, William Godwin, a fellow proponent of the vegetarian diet. Presumably, it was because Newton's ideas filtered through Shelley and Godwin that Mary Shelley decided to describe the Creature in Frankenstein as a vegetarian: "My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment. The picture I present to you is peaceful and human." The Return to Nature is rare in commerce, particularly so in original boards. We can trace just one copy thus at auction, which appeared over 50 years ago. Nora Crook & Derek Guiton, Shelley's Venomed Melody, 2010. Octavo.
