From the library of the esteemed American paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould 1941-2002. In his essay "Worm for a Century" from the collection Hen's Teeth and Horse's Teeth: Further Reflections in Natural History 1983 Gould argued that this Darwin's first book on a specific subject is essential to understanding his theoretical approach: "This book is about coral but it is also about historical reasoning. Vegetable mold formed fast enough to measure its rate directly; we capture the past by summing effects of small and observable present causes. But what if rates are too slow or scales too large to render history by direct observation of present processes For such cases we must develop a different method. Since large-scale processes begin at different times and proceed at diverse rates the varied stages of different examples should exist simultaneously in the present. To establish history in such cases we must construct a theory that will explain a series of present phenomena as stages of a single historical process. The method is quite general. Darwin used it to explain the formation of coral reefs. We invoke it today to infer the history of stars. D. Appleton and Company hardcover books

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. § First edition first issue inscribed in Charles Darwin’s hand “Elizabeth Darwin From her Fatherâ€. Presentation copies from Darwin in his own hand are exceptionally rare most presentation copies were inscribed “from the author†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 Darwin’s youngest daughter who lived at home until the death of her mother and died in 1926. Very little is known about her. “Despite her constant presence in the house only very occasionally does her name appear in any of the mountain of family letters†Bowlby Charles Darwin: A New Life 408. After her mother’s death Elizabeth moved to a small house in Cambridge where she lived to be 78. The book is an extension of Darwin’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
