1862167295London: John Murray 1862. In support of natural selection First edition of Darwin's first book following the Origin of Species. This monograph on the structure and function of orchid flowers was "the first of the volumes of supporting evidence" for natural selection Freeman. The print run is estimated at no more than 2000 copies and it is the only Darwin title issued by Murray between 1859 and 1910 not bound in the characteristic green cloth. Orchids is "a methodological masterclass in the scientific use of history showing how homologies between flower parts - these had been elucidated by previous botanists - allow us to model past evolutionary events. Throughout the book Darwin showed how natural selection can create exquisite co-adaptations between plants and animals and in so doing it founded the science of pollination ecology. He was even able to make predictions based on understanding that the extraordinary morphology of orchid flowers is co-adapted to the morphology and behavior of their pollinating species. Orchids was the first of the botanical books which Darwin published from 1862 all of which 'exalted' plants and showed how closely linked to animals they are. It appeared in May 1862 and there were probably only 2000 copies printed. Although highly praised by botanists at the time it never sold well" Freeman the public remaining more interested in the controversy of evolution than the details. Octavo.

1862143986London: John Murray 1862. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Murray 1862 first edition first issue. Octavo vi 366 32 publisher's advertisements pages with 34 wood-engraved illustrations some full-page one a folding plate additional to the pagination. Ribbon-embossed plum cloth blocked in gilt and blind; covers slightly worn at the corner-tips and unevenly sunned on the spine; old repair to a split at the head of the front joint; contemporary library stamps to a dozen pages but see our footnote; front hinge cracked but firm; a few other minor signs of age and handling; a very good copy. The scarce first issue of Darwin's first major work after 'On the Origin of Species' 1859. Its exploration of the mechanisms of pollination offered a persuasive observable demonstration of his theory of natural selection in operation in particular through the coevolution of insects and the sexual structures of the orchids that they fertilise. <p>Although praised by botanists the book did not sell well and in later issues the sheets from the first printing were offered in a variant binding and with advertisements dated as late as 1871. This example is in the first-issue binding and has advertisements dated December 1861. The total edition likely comprised fewer than 2000 copies. <p>This copy has the contemporary blindstamp of the Adelaide bookseller W.C. Rigby to the front free endpaper and flyleaf and the contemporary library stamps of the Gawler Institute attesting to the early importation of Darwin's works into colonial South Australia. The title page has an early manuscript shelf mark in ink the Gawler Institute red inkstamp with the inserted reference number 1947 and a much later blue inkstamp for the Salisbury North High School Library. That this book has survived at all is cause for celebration. <p>Freeman 800 'variant a.'. John Murray hardcover
1862020463London: John Murray 1862. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. vi 365 pages indexed illustrated plus 32 pages of other John Murray publications. Brown cloth with gilt flower on front panel. The boards: The spine strip is badly damaged with loss along the edge and tail; the front board wears the remnants of a label and the edges are chipped. Internally: there are two handwritten numbers on the head of the spine strip the top one crossed out the second repeated on the verso of the front end paper; the front end paper and the following blank page are partially detached; there are a series of ownership inscriptions - a stamp on the front end paper; three on the title page as well as two more interspersed along the page's blank edge and o plus a handwritten one again on the title page. One of the ownership stamps is superimposed on an association one ECLECTIC ASSOCIATION of VICTORIA the latter with its stamp also on the blank edge of the fold out diagram. Over the date of the handwritten one is a perfect small round ink blob which has seeped onto its verso and beyond that onto the blank head of the Contents page. And finally two tiny l closed closed tear at the head of pp 181 and 183 and well as minute loss on page 183 all of which could be a printer's fault. It is not a pretty copy but beyond the preliminaries it is solidly bound and the print unmarked. First edition of this important work. "Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing.1 Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised and this new idea was explored in detail.The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation." Wikipedia <br/> <br/> John Murray hardcover

186216360London: John Murray 1862. FIRST EDITION. Text illustrations. Original plum cloth with an orchid in gilt on front cover. Covers and spine worn spine a bit shabby chipped at foot. Interior is excellent with a modern presentation signature on front flyleaf. First edition of Darwin's primary work on plant fertilization. Detailing the relationship between the sexual structure of orchids and the insects that fertilize them this was the first of three volumes that followed the publication of the Origin which contained supporting evidence for the author's theory of natural selection. Darwin concludes that plants are equal to animals in the marvels of their adaptation; for example he observes that wind-pollinated flowers have no colours; it is only those insect-pollinated varieties that have bright coloured petals and sweet smelling nectars.

First and last leaves conjugate detached but very good otherwise.</p> <p> First Edition of one of Darwin's lesser-known discoveries. Darwin was the first to postulate in this paper the existence of an inertially-based navigational system in animals; his suggestion was confirmed by studies done in the 20th century. This type of navigational system now known as path integration uses input from the vestibular organs and other sensors in the body to enable an animal such as a migrating bird to estimate its position with relation to its home.
