First printing of Darwinâ€™s original paper discussing sexual selection in his 1871 work Descent of man stating that the case of the â€œbrightly-coloured hinder ends and adjoining parts of certain monkeysâ€ was the most interesting and perplexing to him. He quotes a work by Johan von Fischer partly published in Der zool. Garten. April 1876 dealing with the expression of monkeys under various emotions â€œwhich is well worthy of study by any one interested in the subject.â€ An interesting article on an interesting subject.

[DARWIN, Violetta Harriot, illustrator] and NUGENT, George Nugent-Grenville, 2nd BaronBiblio.com

Ye Dole of Tichborne by Lord Nugent. Illustrated by V.H.D.

18712200159Oblong 8vo pp. 4 with nine anastatic plates by 'V H D'arwin the first folding and with poetic verses facing two leaves of introduction in the original publisher's bind stamped green cloth upper board lettered in gilt inner joints lightly cracked else a very good sound copy.Published to capitalise on the infamous Tichborne case then beginning to run its course through the courts.The poem recounts the history of the Tichborne dole of bread a charity festival active until the 1790's and held at the village of Tichborne in Hampshire during the Feast of the Annunciation. The tale concerns a curse by twelfth century Lady Mabella Tichborne on her descendants. This predicted that should the dole stop the family would produce only daughters and die out which indeed did happen with the male issue cut down by early death and shipwreck all of which paved the way to the interminable Tichborne claimant cause.The illustrations are very clearly in the style of Richard Doyle's The Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe which first appeared in Punch in 1849 they capture many of the more absurd parts of the tale in a mock medieval manuscript technique replete with a border of a dragon.The illustrator Violetta Harriot Darwin 1826-1880 was a half cousin to the famous Charles both sharing Erasmus Darwin as a grandfather. Although Charles descended through Erasmus' first wife Polly and Violetta through his second wife Elizabeth the cousins despite being near contemporaries appear to have had very little contact. A number of Violetta's anastactic topographical views were published in the 1860's and her illustrated version of Southey's Bishop Hatto: a legend of the Mouse-Tower on the Rhine in 1861 but these are both in a quite different style.The author of the poems Lord Nugent unlike many of the Grenville clan supported the cause of anti-slavery parliamentary reform religious liberty penal reform and the amelioration of the condition of the rural poor. He also inherited an aptitude for literary and scholarly pursuits as well as their tendency to corpulence and financial ineptitude. He was not a great poet however some of his smaller works found a willing space in the 'Annuals'. Under the less antiquated title 'The Dole of Tichborne' the poem first appeared first in the 1830 volume of The Gem.OCLC records only a second edition at the National library of Wales only.

Charles Darwin; On the Origin of Species Well-written Manuscript Essay talk or lecture Signed with initials not interpreted entitled "Suppositions concerning the double origin of Man"

26916June 1865. Manuscript Initialled by Author 6pp. 4to two bifoliums good condition. SEE IMAGE FOR FULL TEXT. The essay commences with a reference to Charles Darwin "Origin" having been published a few years before; "I suppose that animal life - supplied and controlled by the spirit of God Genesis I.2 - took its upward course through the Ages developing possibly one from another as Mr Darwin supposes and including all the different forms that are or have been up to the 'man' of the Drift.See Note below re. Pleistocene. I suppose this creature's organism to have been similar to our own and his instinct & organic action and the degree of its development must depend on the nature of an animals organs. I do not suppose that this man was more than an animal - that he had reason or speech- Birds build their nests by instinct; For rest of text see images" Note: A. The talk or lecture is in a flimsy folder on which is an apparent ascription to an "H.Harris" BUT see photograph of the concluding initials not interpreted by me; B. "The image of one page of six is a handwritten letter or manuscript page from June 1865 containing a discussion of mythological and historical theories regarding ancient peoples and their origins. The author speculates on topics such as the origins of amber trade routes the identity of the Finns and other northern tribes as descendants of Tubal Cain and the potential characteristics of the descendants of Cain. The text concludes by acknowledging that these are merely theories subject to change with better information or understanding of 'revelation.'" AI; C."The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage as well as that of our sister taxon the Neanderthals and related Denisovans. It is exceptionally rich in both fossil and archaeological remains and uniquely benefits from insights gained through molecular approaches such as paleogenetics and paleoproteomics that are currently not widely applicable in earlier contexts. This wealth of information paints a highly complex picture often described as ‘the Muddle in the Middle’ defying the common adage that ‘more evidence is needed’ to resolve it." See Images total item.
