18965553<p><strong>First edition of the significant Russian translation of 'On the Origin of Species' by Kliment Timiryazev.</strong></p><p>The first Russian translation of Darwin's '<em>On the Origin of Species</em>' was completed in 1864 based on the American edition of 1860 and heavily influenced by the first German translation 1860.</p><p>A second translation appeared in 1896 offered in two versions—one by journalist historian and mathematician Mikhail Filipov and the other by the renowned Russian botanist and physiologist Kliment Timiryazev 1843-1920 a prominent advocate for Darwin's theories in Russia. Both translations were based on Darwin's final 6th edition 1876.</p><p>This first volume of the four-volume series '<em>The Works</em>' by Darwin features Timiryazev's first translation. As a young student at the University of St. Petersburg in 1860 Timiryazev first encountered Darwin's theory of the origin of species. After graduating he traveled to Heidelberg for further study and research where he spent much of his time with Vladimir Kovalevsky a passionate Russian Darwinist. In 1877 Timiryazev after some difficulty managed to arrange a meeting with Charles Darwin at Down House. Upon returning to Russia Timiryazev devoted himself to defending and promoting Darwin's theories. His translations of Darwin's works are considered the highest quality both in translation accuracy and scientific editing.</p><p><strong><em>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.

18527904London: John Murray 1852. 8vo pp.viii 519 1. Original red cloth blocked in blind spine lettered direct in gilt. A touch soiled. A little shaken boards marked and somewhat grubby a touch of insect damage head of spine slightly defective. Binder’s ticket of Edmonds & Remnants London to rear pastedown ownership inscription to title-page. An early issue of the revised edition of Darwin’s first published book. Despite the title-page advertising it as a new edition it is an otherwise-unchanged reprint of the 1845 2nd edition from plates. This second edition was substantially revised from its initial publication as a supplementary volume to Captain Fitzroy’s 2 volume ‘Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle’ in 1839 and despite the addition of a new postscript in 1860 this 1845 version remained the definitive lifetime text. This issue and its immediate predecessor are issued and bound as part of publisher Murray’s ‘Colonial and Home Library’ of cheap reprints described by Freeman as ‘a miserable piece of printing in small type with mean margins’ while the 1860 edition was printed on larger paper and given a green cloth binding to match the previous year’s ‘On The Origin of Species’ and reflects the growth in status and importance of the work and its author.

Darwin was the first to postulate in this paper the existence of an inertially-based navigational system in animals; his suggestion was confirmed by studies done in the 20th century. This type of navigational system now known as path integration uses input from the vestibular organs and other sensors in the body to enable an animal such as a migrating bird to estimate its position with relation to its home.

1868137161New York: Orange Judd & Company 1868. First edition of Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis. Octavo original publisher's green cloth with gilt titles to the spine illustrated with numerous in-text illustrations and a chart. Preface by Asa Gray. In near fine condition. An exceptional example. Darwin's Variation Under Domestication “took up in detail that subject which had been confined to one chapter of the Origin. It contained Darwin’s hypothesis of pangenesis by means of which he tried to frame an explanation of hereditary resemblance inheritance of acquired characters atavism and regeneration. It was a brave attempt to account for a number of phenomena which were beyond the bounds of scientific knowledge in his day such as fertilization by the union of sperm with egg the mechanism of chromosomal inheritance and the development of the embryo by successive cell division. His hypothesis of pangenesis could not therefore give a permanently acceptable account of the multitude of phenomena it was designed to explain. It was however a point of departure for particulate theories of inheritance in the later 19th century†DSB. Orange Judd & Company hardcover
