187932820659<p>One page. Original folds. Very good condition. Nicely framed.</p><p><strong>Darwin discusses the hereditary transmission of behavior and a vivid example of the phenomenon from the opening chapter of <em>The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.</em></strong></p><p>In this letter Darwin thanks Fanny Kellogg for "communicating the curious case of an habitual gesture like that which I have described as inherited. I may add that since I wrote the action has been transmitted to another generation. Your case shall be sent to Mr. Galton who gave me the information."</p><p>In <em>The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals</em> 1872 Darwin had discussed the heritability of habitual gestures. There he cited at length a remarkable case related to him by his cousin Francis Galton. Galton a distinguished scientist in his own right was keenly interested in the inheritance in humans and the two men often shared findings and theories. Darwin quoted Galton in <em>The Expression of the Emotions</em> on page 33:</p><p>"A gentleman of considerable position was found by his wife to have the curious trick when he lay fast asleep on his back in bed of raising his right arm slowly in front of his face up to his forehead and then dropping it with a jerk so that the wrist fell heavily on the bridge of his nose. The trick did not occur every night but occasionally and was independent of any ascertained cause. Sometimes it was repeated incessantly for an hour or more. The gentleman's nose was prominent and its bridge often became sore from the blows which it received. At one time an awkward sore w as produced that was long in healing on account of the recurrence night after night of the blows which first caused it. His wife had to remove the button from the wrist of his night-gown as it made severe scratches and some means were attempted of tying his arm."</p><p>Galton went on "Many years after his death his son married a lady who had never heard of the family incident. She however observed precisely the same peculiarity in her husband but his nose from not being particularly prominent has never as yet suffered from the blows. The trick does not occur when he is half-asleep as for example when dozing in his arm-chair but the moment he is fast asleep it is apt to begin …" Galton further noted that the behavior had been passed down to the son's daughter. Darwin's letter offered here reveals that he learned after the publication of <em>Expression of Emotions</em> that yet another generation has acquired the remarkable habitual behavior!</p><p>This fascinating letter demonstrates the lengths to which Darwin went gathering data and telling examples for his writings. His published books reached a wide audience producing additional correspondence with yet more evidence for his theories.</p><p>The letter is also noteworthy for being signed in full "Charles Darwin" instead of the more usual abbreviated "Ch. Darwin."</p>

The letter is a reply to Layton's of the day before in which he'd inquired after stereotyped plates of the English edition. In part:<br /> <br /> "The last or 5th Edit. of the Origin was printed off some months ago & it is impossible to supply stereotypes. I hope that you will inform Mr. Appleton of what I have said of the increased size of this last & 5th Edit. As 2000 copies of this Edit were printed there will not be a new Edit. for a considerable time . If Mr. Appleton will reprint this 5th Edition . I will pledge myself to endevour to persuade Mr. Murray to supply stereotype plates of my new book on the Descent of Man; but as I never before heard of such such a scheme I have no idea whether he will comply. At any rate I will please myself on the above conditions & on the terms suggested in your letter to send over the sheets as printed & stereotype casts of the woodcuts. But please remember my new book will not got to press for many months."<br /> <br /> Appleton had published the first American edition of Origin in 1860 from Murray's second English edition. In keeping with the terms of the present letter Appleton published the second American edition based on the 5th English edition in 1870 followed by the first American edition of The Descent of Man in 1871.<br /> See Darwin Correspondence Project DCP-LETT-7003 for Layton to Darwin 22 November 1869. unknown
1900003924Original signed note. DARWIN Francis 1848-1925. Autograph Postcard Signed addressed to L. Cohen 14 Balham Park Road London SW. Camberley postmark 7 July 1900. 115 x 90 mm postcard with manuscript message to the correspondence side and address panel to reverse franked. Light handling wear otherwise very good. An interesting botanical note concerning the identity of the Irish shamrock. Responding to an enquiry Darwin cites Prior's Popular Names of British Plants and explains that "Shamrock means in Gaelic a small trefoil". He continues by observing that it is "impossible to say that it is any particular species of Trifolium" adding that "Dutch clover is commonly sold as shamrock". The note touches upon a long-standing botanical question namely the precise plant represented by Ireland's national emblem. Francis Darwin 1848-1925 botanist and son of Charles Darwin was a Fellow of Christ's College Cambridge and a leading authority on plant physiology. A desirable Francis Darwin autograph with scientific content relating to the identification of the shamrock. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1900. Original signed note paperback

Hindges loose on volume i. A fine fine and clean copy. LXXI 1 542 pp.; VII 5 436 pp. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare first Hungarian translation of Darwin's The Descent of Man. "Compared with the original and with a biography by Margó Tivador" Freeman. The Hungarian public was introduced to Darwinism early on when Ferenc Jánosi reviewed The Origin of Species in the Budapesti Szemle Budapest Review a half year after it first appeared in English. Darwin's principal works were first published in Hungarian translation by the Royal Hungarian Natural Science Society Királyi Magyar Természettudományi Társulat. The Origin of Species translated by László Dapsy was published in 1873; The present work in 1884 and a few years later in 1897 the latter work was translated anew and published by László Seress. "It is characteristic of the enlightened spirit of the country in this period that Darwin received academic recognition earlier in Hungary than in England. Although Cambridge did not honor Darwin until 1879 he was elected an honorary member of The Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1872 the same year on this occasion the renowned Hungarian zoologist Tivadar Margó visited him at Down.Historical circumstances played a major role in this quick appearance of Darwinism and its popularity in Hungary. The failure of the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence seemingly put an end to progressive political discourse signaling an ideological crisis among the intelligentsia. In this context the natural sciences with their 'eternal truths' promised a way out inasmuch as science's promised objectivity might well serve as a politically neutral expression of progressive values" Mund The Reception of Charles Darwin in Nineteenth-Century Hungarian Society."Darwin wrote in the preface to the second edition of 'the fiery ordeal through which this book has passed'. He had avoided the logical outcome of the general theory of evolution bringing man into the scheme for twelve years and in fact it had by that time been so much accepted that the clamour of the opposition was not strident. He had also been preceded in 1863 by Huxley's Man's place in nature. The book in its first edition contains two parts the descent of man itself and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The origin of species in the following year."
