VERY SCARCE. With an introduction by Robert Ireland in which authorship of the book is first revealed. "The recent death of Dr William Chambers leaves me the sole surviving depository of a secret which about forty years ago was entrusted to four persons only". Originally published in 1844 this work of speculative natural history and philosophy brought together various theories of stellar evolution with the progressive transmutation of species in an accessible narrative which tied together numerous scientific theories of the age. It was initially well received by polite Victorian society and became an international bestseller but its unorthodox themes contradicted the natural theology fashionable at the time and were reviled by clergyman and subsequently by scientists who readily found fault with its amateurish deficiencies. 'Vestiges' caused a shift in public opinion which - so Charles Darwin believed - prepared the public mind for the scientific theories of evolution by natural selection which followed from the publication of 'On the Origin of Species' in 1859. The authorship of 'Vestiges' was finally revealed in the 12th edition of 1884. For a full account one should read James Secord's 624 page "Victorian Sensation" 2000. . Cloth. Fair. W. & R.
