First issue with 2 lines of errata on page x.<br />"This was an extension of the work on climbing plants to show that the same mechanism holds good for flowering plants in general. It was another specialist book and seems to have sold fewer copies than any other and was not reprinted in England after the year of Darwin's death until modern facsimiles appeared of the first thousand in 1966 and the second in 1969.The first edition was published on November 6 1880 and it is recorded that 1500 copies were sold at Murray's autumn sale. It was in a standard green cloth binding and cost 15s. . In this issue there are two lines of errata on page x which are corrected in the second thousand of the same year. . In the third thousand of 1882 the last Murray printing the preface is slightly altered" Freeman p.161.<br />This work follows up on his earlier <em>On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants</em> 1865 and was based on experiments that he conducted with the assistance of his son Francis Darwin. On p.569-70 he suggests natural selection as a possible explanation for plants' ability to bend towards or away from environmental stimuli.</p> John Murray hardcover

Very good. 2 Vols. 411 486 pages. 22 x 14 cm. 43 black and white illustrations. Comprehensive Index. Bound without the advertisements. The book's slow progress towards publication was due not only to its size but the author's ill health. "About half of the eight years that elapsed between its commencement and completion were spent on it. The book did not escape adverse criticism: it was said for instance that the public had been patiently waiting for Mr. Darwin's justificatives and that after eight years of expectation all they got was a mass of detail about pigeons rabbits and silkworms. The work contains the first appearance of the phrase 'survival of the fittest' in any of Darwin's works p. 6 of 1st volume. Single erratum in Volume I. FREEMAN 878. NORMAN. 597.

1873852London: John Murray Albemarle Street 1873. <br /> <br /> Early John Murray printing 1873 “Tenth Thousand†of Darwin’s The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals one of his most influential and innovative works following The Descent of Man. In this groundbreaking study Darwin argues for the evolutionary continuity of emotional expression between humans and animals proposing that facial expressions gestures and bodily reactions are inherited traits shaped by natural selection. The book presents his famous three principles of expression—serviceable associated habits antithesis and direct action of the nervous system.<br /> <br /> Notably this work was among the first scientific books to incorporate photographic illustrations as evidentiary material. The heliotype plates of infants and patients including the well-known crying children plates were revolutionary for their time and reflect Darwin’s commitment to empirical documentation. Illustrated throughout with engravings by T. W. Wood and others including expressive studies of cats dogs birds and primates. A cornerstone text in evolutionary psychology behavioral science and the history of photography in scientific publishing.<br /> <br /> Condition & Binding: Original publisher’s green cloth with gilt spine lettering and decorative tooling. Boards show moderate rubbing and light wear at extremities; corners lightly bumped. Spine gilt remains bright and legible. Cloth remains clean with minor surface scuffing. Hinges secure; binding firm. Interior clean overall with light scattered foxing and minor spotting primarily to preliminaries and some margins. Overall- very good.

Overall a solid copy of Darwin's "forgotten masterpiece" with very well-preserved plates. Freeman 1142. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals expands on Darwin's theories raised in On the Origin of Species 1859 and The Descent of Man 1871 arguing that there is an evolutionary explanation for the human expression of emotions. The book was originally intended by Darwin to be a chapter in The Descent of Man but grew until it was necessary to publish the work separately. An influential text in the field of psychology the book has also been described as "a pivotal turning point in the history of book illustration right up there with Alice in Wonderland" The Atlantic. With seven plates of heliotypes that represent various human emotions The Expression of the Emotions was one of the first scientific books to include photographs. These photographs were provided by a handful of photographers and researchers including Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne Adolph Kindermann George Charles Wallich James Crichton-Browne and Oscar Rejlander. Rejlander contributed nineteen of the thirty photographs in the book including the crying baby photo later dubbed "Ginx's baby" which became incredibly popular in its time. Interestingly Darwin's research for the book prompted him to circulate one of the first scientific questionnaires which he used to gauge people's ability to identify a handful of core emotions. .

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."
