The grandson of British naturalist Charles Darwin Bernard Darwin 1876-1961 was an accomplished amateur golfer who covered the sport for The Times from 1907 to 1953 and for Country Life from 1907 to 1961 becoming the first writer ever to cover golf on a daily basis rather than as an occasional feature. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005. 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.

189274513London: John Murray 1892. Second Edition Revised - Fourth Thousand. Hardcover. Very Good. First published in 1868 this book began as an expansion of the first two chapters of On the Origin of Species 1859: "Variation under Domestication" and "Variation under Nature" and it developed into one of his largest works; Darwin 1809-82 referred to it as his "big book." The first volume deals with the variations introduced into species as a result of domestication through changes in climate diet breeding and an absence of predators. He began with an examination of dogs and cats comparing them with their wild counterparts and moved on to investigate horses and asses; pigs cattle sheep and goats; domestic rabbits; domestic pigeons; fowl; and finally cultivated plants. The work is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation and a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolutionary biology.<br/> <br/> Octavo two volumes: xiv 473 p. x 495 p. with publisher's advertisements 43 textual figures and numerous tables. Original brown cloth bindings with gilt titles and decorative black and blind stamping. The boards are especially clean and bright with only some light wear to the corners and tips.

In the timeless real of idealist thinking unchanging laws worked out an inevitable destiny. But Darwin taught his followers to look at living beings one by one.

1880BB1558London: John Murray 1880. Second Edition. Decorative Cloth. Fine. Second Edition of one of the scarcer Darwin titles one of only 1250 copies with a new preface in which Darwin states that "the text has been left as it originally appeared excepting that a few errors have been corrected." According to Freeman "This is then the definitive text." 8vo: xvi35232advertisementspp with 15 woodcuts in the text and 38 tables. Publisher's standard green pebbled cloth covers paneled in blind spine lettered and decorated in gilt brown end papers. Inserted advertisements may be as late as January 1882 per Freeman. A Fine copy completely unopened. Freeman 1280. Darwin recalled the writing of this title in his autobiography: "This book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers. The results of crossing such flowers in an illegitimate manner I believe to be very important as bearing on the sterility of hybrids; although these results have been noticed by only a few persons."
