Erstausgabe
First edition of Galton's work designed to assist with classifying and indexing large numbers of fingerprints. "The use of fingerprints for the identification of criminals had been advocated in 'Nature' in 1880 by both Henry Faulds and Sir William Herschel, but was put on a scientific basis only in Galton's book on Finger Prints, published in 1892" (Bulmer, p. 35). Of particular importance was Galton's work on establishing that "the pattern of a person's fingerprints did not change from youth to old age and creating a taxonomic system by which the variations in fingerprint patterns could be described and catalogued" (ODNB). "In 1892, in his book Finger Prints, Galton gathered together all these earlier studies [by Purkinje, Faulds, and Herschel] 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). Garrison & Morton 186; Heirs of Hippocrates 1905; Norman 867; Printing and the Mind of Man 376. See Michael Bulmer, Francis Galton: Pioneer of Heredity and Biometry (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003). Octavo. Original burgundy cloth, spine lettered in gilt, green endpapers, edges uncut. With 16 plates. Ephemera on handwriting decipherment inserted, ownership signature of J. S. Mundoert, 1896, to half-title. Worn and abraded, inner hinges with slight splits but still holding, a little shaken, a sound copy.

Lindon, Harrison and Sons, 1890-91. Bound together in recent marbled boards. With both titlepages to vols 48 and 49 (both 1891) in "Proceedings of the Royal Society of London" pp. 455-459 (in vol. 48) and pp. 540-548. "The Patterns in Thumb and Finger Marks" is an early 'abstract' read to the Royal Society. The full paper paper appeared later the same year. "Methods of indexing Finger Mark" being the first appearance. These two paper constitute the very first appearance of the anthropometric classification of fingerprint."Galtons establisment of fingerprinting as an easy and almost infallible means of human identification transformed a difficult subject, and his taxonomy of prints is basically that used today".(DSB).
