MULLER, HERMANN J. 1890-1967.
Collection of 177 offprints by and about Muller, representing nearly half of his corpus of 372 papers, 33 of which were chosen by Muller for his 1961 work Studies in Genetics.
Various sizes. 1922-1972. Most offprints in wrappers or without wrappers as issued, including:
1. "Variation due to change in the individual gene." Mimeograph typescript with copy editor's marks in ms. N.p., 1922.
2. "The first cytological demonstration of a translocation in Drosophila." Offprint from: American Naturalist 63, 1929.
3. "Further studies on the nature and causes of gene mutations." Offprint from: Proceedings of the Sixth International Congress of Genetics 1, 1932. Complete listing is available upon request.
WITH: Studies in Genetics: The Selected Papers of H. J. Muller. xiv, 618 pp. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 1962. Original cloth. Very good.
Provenance: From the library of Hermann Muller, 21 offprints signed or inscribed by him, and 10 with his ownership stamp; other ownership inscriptions including Rollin Hotchkiss and W. E. Castle; Jeremy Norman.
FIRST EDITIONS, THE MAJORITY BEING MULLER'S OWN FILE COPIES. Muller won the 1946 Nobel Prize in physiology / medicine for his discovery of the production of mutations by means of x-ray irradiation. "The principle of evolution, by which new species of organisms have evolved, depends on favorable mutations which occur occasionally. Muller developed experimental procedures to measure the natural mutation rate in fruit flies. He showed that the mutation rate could be increased by artificial means: temperature, chemical processes, and especially by X-ray irradiations ... The rapid development of experimental genetics has led to practical results such as plant improvements and an understanding of birth defects and diseases in general. Muller is recognized as one of the pioneers of modern cellular biology" (Magill 2, p 539). The present collection of offprints contains 20 papers (nos 1-20) from this remarkable period in Muller's scientific career. Magill The Nobel Prize Winners: Physiology or Medicine 2, pp 539-46.
