Margins of some plates moderately foxed (less so in Part II) with browning offset to facing text: see more on condition of plates below.** Despite any drawbacks, this remains a nice copy of an important and popular work by Lichfield and Derby English AUTHOR, poet and physician ERASMUS DARWIN(1731-April, 18, 1802) which synthesized the foment of 18th cent. Enlightenment ideas of science with revolutionary and Romantic themes in art, particularly showcasing the work of Swedish botanist and father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus. Industrial discussion of hemp, cotton, and clay are interwoven with racy-sounding verse on methods of plant reproduction. He first voices the idea of evolution in both the plant and animal world in the 1793 first edit. of Part I, in one of his many digressions, found in a note for Curcumin, (Part I, Canto I, line 65); a remark for which many account the life's work on the Theory of Evolution by his grandson, Charles Darwin. (A poetic fascination with Gnomes in Part I may have had something to with the convivial nature of his various scientific and literary gatherings; he was apparently prone to gout and both the London Johnson bookstore soirees and meetings of the scientific Birmingham Lunar Society were quite liquacious in nature.) **COLLATION: Section I.
