ALDINI, Giovanni (1762-1730). Essai Théorique et Expérimental sur le Galvanisme, avec une Série d' Expériences faites en Présence des Commissaires de l' Institut National de France, et en Divers Ampithéatres Anatomique de Londres. Paris: De L' Imprimerie de Fournier Fils, 1804. 4to (298 x 225mm). Half title, 10 folding engraved plates (variable spotting, staining and browning throughout, many darker spots affecting letters). Attractively-bound in later green morocco-backed marbled paper boards, spine lettered in gilt and decorated in gilt and blind, new endpapers. FIRST EDITION of this highly influential work on galvanism which presented, for the first time, a series of experiments which applied the principles of Volta and Galvani. The fine, if somewhat macabre, plates illustrate the experiments which involved heads and bodies of animals and humans, and which seem to bring them back to life. It is not beyond the realms of speculation that Mary Shelley may have been influenced both by Aldini's experiments, and those of his uncle's, Luigi Galvani, to write Frankenstein in 1818. cf. Fulton & Stanton, A Bibliography of Galvani's Writings on Animal Electricity 27; cf. PMM 240 (reference to Aldini's continuation of Galvani's work); Wheeler Gift 660.

Original maroon pebbled cloth ruled in blind, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, uncut. Provenance: E. Carleton [?]Moore (very small indistinct stamp on front free endpaper). FIRST EDITION. "Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, and the originator of eugenic studies, was greatly interested by Herschel's letter [on the handprints of Hindu natives] as indicating a possible form of anthropometric classification. On 27 November 1890 he read a paper to the Royal Society, which was printed in its Transactions, on 'The Patterns of Thumb and Finger Marks'. ... In 1892, in his book Finger Prints, Galton gathered together all these earlier studies and recorded other experiments, illustrated from photographs and drawings. The outcome of this was the appointment in 1899 of a Royal Commission which came out in favour of the adoption of the system by the British police forces" (PMM).
