XV 1 452 24 advertisements pp.; 8 494 2 pp. <br/><br/><em>First French translation of Darwin's 'Descent of Man'. Whereas "Origin of Species" established Darwinism as a turning point in nineteenth-century biology "The Descent of Man" helped built a bridge between biology the social sciences and the humanities and made Darwinism a broad system of research designs theoretical principles and philosophical outlook."Darwin wrote in the preface to the second edition of 'the fiery ordeal through which this book has passed'. He had avoided the logical outcome of the general theory of evolution bringing man into the scheme for twelve years and in fact it had by that time been so much accepted that the clamour of the opposition was not strident. He had also been preceded in 1863 by Huxley's Man's place in nature. The book in its first edition contains two parts the descent of man itself and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The origin of species in the following year."

189248692London: John Murray 1892. Very good plus. Sixth edition "forty-third thousand" overall - and the first to use the term "evolution" to describe the mechanism of natural selection that Darwin introduced in the book. "Evolution" - the word now most associated with THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES - was not used to describe natural selection in the publication until the sixth edition. By then Darwin was well aware that he had a phenomenon on his hands with the title - it was time to widen his audience. The 6th edition was purposefully set in smaller type slimming the book's profile and making it more affordable "I have been told on authority which I can trust that . workmen club together to buy the Origin" Darwin noted of previous editions in correspondence in 1871. It also contains a glossary for the first time making the text more accessible to a non-specialist audience. <br /> <br /> Appropriately this copy was once owned by James G. Mead whale biologist and longtime curator of marine mammals at the Smithsonian. Mead is a particular proponent of the anatomical study of marine mammals a method of examination that Darwin also favored; THE NEW YORK TIMES notes that Mead's use of this technique "has given scientists a detailed look at species that often can be observed only fleetingly in the wild." <br /> <br /> A notable edition of an iconic work. 7.5'' x 5''. Publisher's green cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Floral patterned endpapers of the John Murray monogram. xxii 432 pages including index; folds from page 185 on are unopened. Small owner name to front flyleaf "J. G. Mead" dated Feb. 1972. Small owner name to title page "Jas Probert" dated July 1893. Binding with faint spotting to edges light bumping to corners and spine ends. Light foxing to endpapers. Interior clean. John Murray unknown

1887009557Warsaw: Wydawnictwo Przeglądu Tygodniowego 1887 8vo 24 cm 4 II 412 XVIII pp. Contemporary cloth-backed marbled boards binding rubbed with a small loss to the marbled paper at the tail of the front board endpapers somewhat stained a number written in blue pencil on the front free endpaper light toning throughout the text. The first Polish edition of Charles Darwin's celebrated travel narrative originally published in English as "Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle" and later known as "The Voyage of the Beagle". This work presents Darwin's observations and scientific reflections made during the historic 1831-1836 voyage of the Beagle documenting his studies in geology zoology botany and ethnography across South America the Galápagos Islands and other regions--research that proved foundational for the later development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Translated into Polish by Józef Nusbaum from the 1884 English edition this publication represents an important milestone in the reception of Darwinian thought in Poland and remains a key text in the history of nineteenth-century science and exploration.
