‎COLLECTION of "mémoires" and "consultations" concerning the trial of the guardians of Mademoiselle de Melun, the Duc de Bethune and the "bourgeois" Jean-Etienne Dat, against the Marquis de Becelaer concerning the inheritance and testament of Mademoiselle de Risbourg.‎

‎All bound in three 4to volumes. Contemporary red morocco, spines gilt with raised bands, labels with gilt lettering, two volumes with a gilt stamped ornamental center piece on both sides, all three with a floral ornament in the corners, gilt borders (two volumes) and gilt double fillet (one volume), two volumes with gilt edges, joints of two volumes rubbed, extremities shaved. Very interesting and important legal document: these pieces deal with the trial of the Duc de Bethune and J.-E. Dat against the Marquis de Becelaer with regard to the heritage of Mademoiselle de Melun. The inheritance in question came from Mademoiselle de Risbourg who had made up a will on October 31, 1746, which she changed on November 4, 1746. The Duc de Bethune, J.-E. Dat and Mademoiselle de Melun oppose this change and claim that the original will as drafted on October 31 is the valid one and that the Marquis de Becelaer has manipulated Mademoiselle de Risbourg into changing her will shortly thereafter. All mentioned parties were heirs in both versions of the will: what changed however was what each of them received. The manuscript "Extrait des registres de la Cour du Parlement" text at the end of volume 3 rules in favour of the defendant, the Marquis de Becelaer.The third volume has a particular feature: the first and third texts are printed on small folio sized paper and have been bound crosswise in the volume and folded to match within the binding.

‎Scarce offprint of Jennings' important work in which he published the results of his investigations of heredity and selection in Paramecium. ""Most of this lons paper was devoted to a study of the effects of environment and growth upon the sizes of Paramecium, both effects were found to be quite large. (Provine, The Origins of Theoretical Population Genetics, P. 100)""Herbert Spencer Jennings was widely recognized and greatly respected not only as a pioneering biological investigator but also as a thinker, philosopher, and educator . He was a master of the art of setting forth simply, clearly, and vividly, in print and in public lectures, the current state of genetics and general biology and of recognizing and pointing out their implications for the general public and for specialists in various disciplines. ""Herbert Spencer Jennings (1868-1947), American botanist who was trained at Illinois Normal School and the University of Michigan, then spent a year studying protozoans with Max Verworn at the zoological station in Naples. In the early twentieth century, Jennings began studying inheritance and evolution in protozoans and introduced new experimental methods for laboratory study. By 1920 he had left the laboratory to popularize genetics and harmonize the relationship between biology, religion, and the humanities.‎
