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

In the twenty-nine essays in this collection Darwin elaborates on such varied topics as his boyhood attachment to tin soldiers his "fundamentalist's" faith in Sherlockiana his affection for small railroad junctions situated thrillingly close to some favorite golf links the "restful excitement" of watching a cricket match and the pleasures of a day spent in bed.

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.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary fine dark green cloth bdg. Art-nouveau decorations embossed on boards. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script. 734, [2], [1] p., index. The Scopes trial (1925) fuelled discussion in the United States on the social and political implications of Darwinism. For the defenders of the 1925 Tennessee law - which prohibited the teaching of Darwinism in schools - Darwinism was, amongst other things, responsible for the German militarism which eventually led to the First World War. This view was supported by Ismail Fennî, a late Ottoman intellectual, who authored this book immediately after the trial which aimed to debunk scientific materialism. In it, he claimed that Darwinism blurred the distinction between man and beast and thus destroyed the foundations of morality. However, despite his anti-Darwinist stance, Ismail Fennî argued against laws forbidding the teaching of Darwinism in schools and emphasized that even false theories contributed to the scientific improvement. Indeed, because of his belief in science, he claimed that Muslims should not reject Darwinism if it were supported by future scientific evidence. It is composed of 7+1 chapters to criticize the materialist and positivist philosophical movements and especially the work of the positivist German philosopher Ludwig Bücher 'Kraft und Stoff'. The first part of the book focuses on the evidence presented of the proof of god in the Western and Islamic philosophies. In the second chapter, the issue of immortality of soul and spirit is addressed. In the third chapter, 'the wahdat al-wujud' (vahdet-i vücûd) current is examined. The fourth chapter, examined some famous scholars' thoughts about the matter, materialism, laws of nature, etc. In the fifth chapter, the work of the positivist German philosopher Büchner 'Kraft und Stoff', in the sixth chapter, monism (monism), in the seventh ch. positivism is criticized. In the last ch., there are descriptions and some thoughts on the theory of evolution and the Indian fakirs (fakers). Ismail Fenni Ertugrul was a Turkish mystic, philosopher, writer, musician, lyricist, and composer. He studied traditional madrasah education and learned Arabic and Persian. He was in various state posts. After the retirement, he began to be interested in poetry, music, and philosophy. Before his death, he donated his library including 9050 books to the Library of Beyazit. (Source: An Ottoman response to Darwinism: Ismail Fennî on Islam and evolution, Bilgili).

"THE writer of the interesting article in NATURE of March 20 doubts whether my belief “that many of the most wonderful instincts have been acquired independently of habit through the preservation of useful variations of pre existing instincts†means more than “that in a great many instances we cannot conceive how the instincts originated.†This in one sense is perfectly true but what I wished to bring prominently forward was simply that in certain cases instincts had not been acquired through the experience of their utility with continued practice during successive generations. I had in my mind the case of neuter insects which never leave offspring to inherit the teachings of experience and which are themselves the offspring of parents which possess quite different instincts. The Hive-bee is the best known instance as neither the queen nor the drones construct cells secrete wax collect honey &c." From the present paper. Freeman 1760. </em> unknown
