Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 8°. (2), xliv, 326, (10)p., 2 folding plates. Contemporary paper-covered boards. Entirely uncut. some foxing inside, boards somewhat rubbed, else fine. - Printing and the Mind of Man 219. The important third edition of Blumenbach's dissertation, the first to make use of the 5-fold classification of humans that - in spite of Blumenbach's anti-racism - would become the staple of 19th century race theory. Blumenbach explicitly denounces racial theories and describes human variations as 'varietate' within one 'species': "generis humani varietates quinae principes, species vero unica". He argued "that no doubt can any longer remain but that we are with great probability right in referring all and singular as many varieties of man as are at present known to one and the same species." Further, he made clear that skin colour is no sufficient criteria to differentiate the varieties, and openly argued against racist justifications of slavery. - Very rare, especially in this state.

A handsome, crisp copy. ---- PMM 219 (first ed.); NLM/Blake 51; Wellcome II, p.183; Garrison-Morton 156; Norman 250 (first ed.). - The third and most important edition. The first edition was a dissertation printed for private distribution only and is practically unobtainable. "Blumenbach was the founder of anthropology. he classified mankind into four races, based on selected combinations of head shape, skin colour and hair form. his famous terms 'Caucasian, Mongolian, Ethiopian, American, and Malayan' were not used until the third edition of 1795" (Garrison-M. 156). Blumenbach 'was preceded by Tyson and Linné who had prepared the ground for his studies by relating man to the order of the primates. Linné had distinguished four races of man chiefly by the color of their skin. From these premises Blumenbach was able to develop the thesis that all living races are varieties of a single species, homo sapiens, and that their differences were small compared with those between man and the nearest animal; "innumerable varieties of mankind run into each other by insensible degrees". It is not surprising therefore that Blumenbach was opposed to the practice of slavery and the then current belief in the inherent savagery of the colored races' (PMM). The inserted large folding map is not original part of this books. It was published in Allgemeines Archiv für Ethnographie und Linguistik, vol. 1, 1808.
