Pp. 378-428 and 2 plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of one of Darwin's major papers on the Nebular Hypoyhesis and the evolution of celestial systems.Following his accession to the Plumian chair Darwin delved even more deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium of rotating masses of fluid and later making extensive studies of periodic orbits in the restricted problem of three bodies carried out with special reference to cases obtaining for the particular values of the mass ratio of the two finite bodies of 1:10 and 1:1048 the latter approximating the mass ratio of Jupiter to that of the sun. DSB."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. </em> unknown

First published in its original form as Darwin's first monograph under the title "The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs Being the first part of the geology of the voyage of the Beagle under the command of Capt. Fitzroy R.N. during the years 1832 to 1836" The monograph set out Darwin's theory of the formation of coral reefs and atolls. He extensively revised and rewrote the book for its 1874 second edition to take into account James Dwight Dana's 1872 publication 'Corals and Coral Islands' and work by Joseph Jukes. This is the third edition with Darwin's prefaces to the first and second edition and a preface to this edition by his son Francis Darwin. It also includes an appendix by the geologist Thomas George Bonney on the study of coral reefs since 1874. "The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs" remains an important landmark in the science of coral reefs and is relatively uncommon. Includes references to North-West coast of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef 3rd edition. Half leather. D. Appleton hardcover
