On the tidal friction of a planet attended by several satellites and on the evolution of the solar system. with: BOTTOMLY J. T. On the thermal conductivity of water. Extract from: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London Volume 172 Part II.

1881S4145London:: Harrison and Sons 1881. 1881. 303 x 231 mm. 4to. Pages 491-535; 537-545 pp. 4 tables 3 lithographic plates; 2 figs. 2 tables. Dis-bound. George Howard Darwin was the fifth child of Charles Robert Darwin and Emma Wedgwood. George Darwin graduated from Trinity College Cambridge in 1868. In 1883 Darwin was elected Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge. Darwin delved deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium for rotating masses of fluid. A further application of Darwin's theory of tidal friction to the motion of the planets round the sun opened up the wider question of the genesis of the solar system.

Darwin's First Book. The account of the Beagle's two voyages edited by Robert Fitzroy who served as commander of both voyages. Volume three of this work represents the first edition of Darwin's account of the voyage which provided the basis for his work on the origin of species found here in its second issue entitled JOURNAL OF RESEARCHES INTO THE GEOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY OF THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES VISITED BY H.M.S. BEAGLE. "The third volume contains Darwin's account of the voyage now famous as the genesis of his theory of evolutionary biology. The demand for Darwin's JOURNAL immediately exceeded that for the companion volumes of the NARRATIVE. Colburn therefore brought out a separate edition of it in the same year" - Hill. Freeman notes that Darwin's "first published book is undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES as the most often printed. It is an important travel book in its own right and its relation to the background of his evolutionary ideas has often been stressed." The first volume contains Captain King's account of the first coastal surveys of Patagonia and Terra del Fuego produced on the first expedition between 1826 and 1830. The other volumes comprise the account of the second voyage of the Beagle. Between 1831 and 1836 the ship visited Brazil Argentina Terra del Fuego Chile Peru the Galapagos Islands Tahiti New Zealand and Australia. The appendix to the second volume bound here as the fourth volume of this set includes a meteorological journal official instructions correspondence and notes. Four of the six plates in the appendix volume consist of sixteen separate illustrations of various cloud formations. A fine attractive set of a landmark of scientific exploration one of the most important Pacific voyages and Darwin's first substantial book publication.

Original green blind-stamped cloth backstrip titled in gilt brown coated endpapers hinges cracked a little wear to crown and foot of backstrip text block edges but not pages stained an unsophisticated copy. Â§ First edition first issue inscribed in Charles Darwinâ€™s hand â€œElizabeth Darwin From her Fatherâ€. Presentation copies from Darwin in his own hand are exceptionally rare most presentation copies were inscribed â€œfrom the authorâ€ by the publisher; a copy inscribed to a family member by Darwin himself is extraordinarily so. Elizabeth Darwin known as Bessy was Charles and Emma Darwinâ€™s youngest daughter who lived at home until the death of her mother and died in 1926. Very little is known about her. â€œDespite her constant presence in the house only very occasionally does her name appear in any of the mountain of family lettersâ€ Bowlby Charles Darwin: A New Life 408. After her motherâ€™s death Elizabeth moved to a small house in Cambridge where she lived to be 78. The book is an extension of Darwinâ€™s work on movement in climbing plants to show that the same mechanisms hold true for flowering plants in general. Darwin was assisted by his son Francis who had become an accomplished botanist. The book was well reviewed and immediately sold 1500 copies. Freeman 1325. John Murray hardcover books
