Nach der zweiten Auflage mit einer geschichtlichen Vorrede und andern Zusätzen des Verfassers für d. - FIRST GERMAN TRANSLATION OF "ORIGIN OF SPECIES".

186050927Stuttgart E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagshandlung und Druckerei 1860. 8vo. Bound in contemporary half calf with gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. Small stamp and previous owner signature to title page. Leather on lower part of spine with a tear and part detached. Hinges weak but book-block firmly attached. VIII including half 520 6 pp 1 plate. The very scarce first edition of the highly important first German translation which appeared just months after the original.This translation came to play a tremendous role in the spreading of Darwinism in Germany and Northern Europe in general. It was through this translation that Darwinian thought reached most of the German scientists and thinkers of the period and it was this translation that challenged German scholars to think in new ways about morphology systematics paleontology and other biological disciplines. It was from this translation that Ernst Haeckel Darwin's most famous nineteenth-century proponent and popularizer in Germany got his Darwinism and was able to further spread the new ideas in his own country. The German translation of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" appeared in 1860 just months after the original thanks to Heinrich Georg Bronn a distinguished German paleontologist whose work in some ways paralleled Darwin's. Bronn's version of the book with his own notes and commentary appended did much to determine how Darwin's theory was understood and applied by German biologists for the translation process involved more than the mere substitution of German words for English."Its Origin of Species greatest impact on German biological practice lay in the introduction of historical modes of explanation for the observable phenomena of living nature. The historical approach to nature was rejected not only by the opponents of evolution but also by the idealist evolutionist. Whether they favored a teleological or a reductionist biology the idealists could not see the point of a theory that emphasized the irregularities and exceptions in the organic world. 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. Thus prompted they recognized as if for the first time the surprising fact of anomaly and the wisdom of an open-ended theory." Glick The Comparative Reception of Darwinism. "Darwin was not happy about the first German translation. It was done from the second English edition by H.G. Bronn who had at Darwin's suggestion added an appendix of the difficulties which occurred to him; but he had also excised bits of which he did not approve. This edition also contains the historical sketch in its shorter and earlier form." Freeman.Freeman No 672 - Freeman does not mention the lithographed plate. hardcover

187714434London and New York: Macmillan and Co. 1877. FIRST EDITION. Half-calf and marbled boards; an excellent copy with the bookplate of Charles Edward Fewster of Hull. 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. Also included in this volume are two reviews of Darwin books as follows: 1 Review of the second edition of Geological observations on the volcanic islands and parts of South America London Smith Elder and Co. 1876 by John W. Judd. pp. 289-290; and 2 Review of The effects of cross- and self-fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom London Murray 1876 by W. T. Thiselton Dyer pp. 329-332. In addition there are two testimonials to Darwin. The first p. 356 is a testimonial on Darwinâ€™s sixty-ninth birthday a mistake in that he was sixty-eight in February 1877 from a group of 154 men of science of Germany presenting to him an album of their photographs. Darwin also received an album with the photographs of 217 distinguished professors and lovers of science from Holland. The second testimonial pp. 410-412 comes from Prof. P. Harting of Utrecht University also on the occasion of Darwinâ€™s birthday who has sent a letter along with the photograph album referred to above from the Directors of the Netherlands Zoological Society and includes Darwinâ€™s reply. The volume includes articles by many of the most important scientists of the day. Freeman 1773; Freeman 1776. Macmillan and Co. unknown

In 1832 Captain Robert Fitzroy of the Royal British Navy undertook a five-year circumnavigation of the earth. Fitzroy who was only twenty-seven at the time asked a young Charles Darwin to be the naturalist for the voyage. The five-year journey included passing the coastlines of South America and particularly the Galapagos Islands near Ecuador. Darwin collected numerous specimens and data from this now famous area and these became the basis for his theory of natural selection which was a key component in his masterful theory of evolution. "The lavish scientific record of Darwin's collecting endeavours during the five-year voyage of the Beagle originally issued in 19 numbers. The 166 plates 82 finely hand-colouredof the complete works were due to the tireless energy and flair which the relatively untrained ship's scientist put first into the collection of specimens and then into ensuring that the zoological specialists duly reported on them after his return. The cost of the plates was covered by a treasury grant of one thousand pounds but to complete the work for Smith and Elder who were publishers of large illustrated books and government publications Darwin had to persevere as steadily with his pen as with his gun and geological hammer turning himself into a considerable authority during the course of five years spent editing the work of others." Christies "He superintended the Zoology's text wrote introductions for the different parts and added notes from his various Beagle records about animal behaviour and habitats wherever appropriate while also supervising the printers proofreading the sheets arranging artists for the plates chivying the experts and keeping them all moving forward within a tight self-imposed budget" Janet Browne Charles Darwin: Voyaging 2003 p. 370.

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.

Voyage d'un naturaliste autour du monde fait à bord du navire Le Beagle de 1831 à 1836

187594478Paris, C. Reinwald, 1875, in-8, [4]-VIII-552 pp, Percaline verte de l'éditeur [Lenègre], Quelques figures dans le texte. Édition originale de la traduction française du Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries paru en 1839. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage de Darwin et le plus lu, après l'Origine des espèces. Il forme une relation de voyage importante en soi et par son rapport avec les idées de l'auteur sur l'évolution. La seconde édition anglaise, parue en 1845, a servi de base pour les diverses traductions. Cette version française, par Edmond Barbier (le troisième traducteur de l'Origine des espèces) est tardive : elle paraît plus de 30 ans après l'originale anglaise. Darwin voyage à bord du Beagle de 1831 à 1836, emportant avec lui les Principes de géologie de Charles Lyell, contradicteur de Lamarck. Le navire, commandé par le très conservateur Robert FitzRoy, quitte l'Angleterre en décembre 1831, vogue vers le Cap-Vert, puis vers le Brésil et l'Amérique du Sud; il reste plusieurs mois à Valparaiso; en septembre - octobre 1835, il est aux Galapagos, puis il reprend la navigation vers Tahiti, la Nouvelle-Zélande et l'Australie, les îles Cocos et le Cap de Bonne Espérance; il fait la route de retour en passant de nouveau par Bahia et le Cap-Vert; le voyage s'achève le 2 octobre 1836. Il "a été de loin l'événement le plus important de ma vie et a déterminé toute ma carrière" (Charles Darwin, Autobiographie). Le futur auteur de l'Origine des espèces y fait un grand nombre d'observations géologiques, récolte des organismes vivants ou fossiles et conserve une riche collection de spécimens, dont il envoie certains à Cambridge, accompagnés de lettres sur ses découvertes. Il s'insurge contre le douloureux spectacle de l'esclavage, qu'il observe au Brésil, et demeurera en raison de ce souvenir réticent à admettre l'homme comme une espèce vivante "domestiquée". Ex-libris gravé aux armes des ducs de Rivoli sur le contreplat, avec la devise "Victor et fidelis". Rousseurs, dos usé. O'Reilly, Tahiti, 916. Couverture rigide
