78-3451 (Maupertuis,P.L.Moreau de).
Venus physique, contenant deux dissertations, l'une, sur l'origine des hommes et des animaux: et l'autre, sur l'origine des noirs. Den Haag, Husson, 1746. 4 Bl., 168 (recte 181) S. Läd. Ldr. d. Zt. (Deckel lose, tls. beschabt u. best., etw. fl.).
Garrison-M. 215.1. Waller 6355. Vgl. Osler 3350 u. Poggendorff II, 85. - Zweite Titelausgabe, erschien erstmals 1744 unter "Dissertation physique". "The occasion of the work was the appearence of a white negro boy, undoubtedly an albino. Vollaire also wrote about him in 1744. Maupertuis's theory of generation is creditable in that it rests on epigenesis, but he imagines a reciprocal attraction of similar particles and has recourse to Newton's theory of gravitation to explain the formation of the foetus" (Osler). - Durchgeh. gebräunt u. stockfl., Blattränd. tls. angestaubt. 2 Bibl.-St.a.T.
