A HANDSOME COPY FRESH AND FINE AND UNUSUALLY SO FOR ANY 19TH CENTURY PRINTING OF DARWIN. This is an important volume of Darwin's evolutionary writings and was written in part at least as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment. It was more importantly along with his 1871 book ‘The Descent of Man’ part of Darwin's attempt to address questions of human origins and human psychology using his theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin noted the universal nature of facial expressions in the book: ".the young and the old of widely different races both with man and animals express the same state of mind by the same movements.

187733614London: John Murray 1877. Second edition revised. With numerous illustrations. 8vo publisher's original green cloth lettered in gilt on spine and blocked in blind on the covers. xvi 300 Index 32 ads. pp. A handsome and pleasing copy bright and clean and beautifully preserved. EARLY PRINTING IN VERY PLEASING CONDITION. One of Darwin's most important but often overlooked works. The LIFE AND LETTERS of Darwin III p. 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying that "if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the 'Origin' the author would have been canonised rather than anathematised by the natural theologians" and noted that a review in the 'Literary Churchman' found only one fault "that Mr. Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying 'O Lord how manifold are Thy works.'"<br> The book was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilize them their evolution being attributed to natural selection and therefore was the first of the volumes of "supporting evidence" for his ORIGIN OF SPECIES. Although it was praised highly by botanists it did not sell well only about 6000 copies by the turn of the century. John Murray hardcover

1871AQ25484New York: Appleton and Company 1871. 447pp 9. With a folding table. Original publisher's printed brown cloth boards tooled and lettered in gilt to spine. Lightly rubbed and marked with chipping to head and foot of spine edges of boards slightly toned spine dulled. Leaves lightly browned occasional light spotting. The fifth edition with additions and corrections of Charles Darwin's 1809-1882 seminal work. Considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology The Origin of Species introduces the theory of natural selection which states that species populations alter and diversify over generations - branching out from a shared common ancestor. 1871 proved a vexing year for Darwin as he received persistent criticism from zoologist St George Jackson Mivart who in his Genesis of Species 1871 accused Darwin among other allegations of being 'Dogmatic' in his assertions. In response Darwin who struggled to remain even- tempered in conversations with his rival gathered a selection of material to refute Mivart's claims; the revised sixth edition of the Origin of Species published the following year contained supporting research from Alexander Agassiz Abraham Dee Bartlett Albert Günther George Busk T. H. Huxley Osbert Salvin and William Henry. Freeman F390b. Fifth edition with additions and corrections. 8vo. Appleton and Company hardcover

Freeman notes that the plates are found in two states in the first two issues of the text either numbered with roman or arabic numerals. In this copy they are arabic numerals. The <i>Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals</i>was Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory following <i>On the Origin of Species</i> 1859 and <i>The Descent of Man</i> 1871. In this work Darwin explores the biological aspects of emotional behaviour and the animal origins of human emotional expression. To illustrate human emotion Darwin used photographs by five different photographers most notably Oscar Gustave Rejlander 1813�1875 who contributed 19 of the 30 photographs. The heliotype plates are among the earliest commercially reproduced photographs in a scientific book.Freeman 1142. John Murray hardcover

187593115Paris, C. Reinwald, 1875, in-8, [4]-VIII-552 pp, 22-[1] pp. de cat. éd, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Quelques figures dans le texte. Édition originale de la traduction française du Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries paru en 1839. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage de Darwin et le plus lu, après l'Origine des espèces. Il forme une relation de voyage importante en soi et par son rapport avec les idées de l'auteur sur l'évolution. La seconde édition anglaise, parue en 1845, a servi de base pour les diverses traductions. La version française, par Edmond Barbier (le troisième traducteur de l'Origine des espèces) est tardive : elle paraît plus de 30 ans après l'originale anglaise. Darwin voyage à bord du Beagle de 1831 à 1836, ce qui lui permet de faire un grand nombre d'observations géologiques. Il récolte des organismes vivants ou fossiles, et conserve une riche collection de spécimens, dont il envoie certains spécimens à Cambridge, accompagnés de lettres sur ses découvertes. Selon ses propres mots, ce voyage "a été de loin l'événement le plus important de [sa] vie et a déterminé toute [sa] carrière" (Charles Darwin, Autobiographie). Non rogné. Étiquette ex-libris du Comte de Saint-Périer : René de Saint-Périer (1877-1950), archéologue et préhistorien français, qui fit les fouilles de la grotte de Lespugue Fente dans toute la longueur du plat supérieur.

Brown cloth with gilt flower on front panel. The boards: The spine strip is badly damaged with loss along the edge and tail; the front board wears the remnants of a label and the edges are chipped.

One of the ownership stamps is superimposed on an association one ECLECTIC ASSOCIATION of VICTORIA the latter with its stamp also on the blank edge of the fold out diagram. Over the date of the handwritten one is a perfect small round ink blob which has seeped onto its verso and beyond that onto the blank head of the Contents page. And finally two tiny l closed closed tear at the head of pp 181 and 183 and well as minute loss on page 183 all of which could be a printer's fault. It is not a pretty copy but beyond the preliminaries it is solidly bound and the print unmarked. First edition of this important work. "Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing.1 Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised and this new idea was explored in detail.The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation." Wikipedia <br/> <br/> John Murray hardcover
