VIII including half 520 6 pp 1 plate. <br/><br/><em>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. </em> 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 Darwin’s original paper discussing sexual selection in his 1871 work Descent of man stating that the case of the “brightly-coloured hinder ends and adjoining parts of certain monkeys†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 “which is well worthy of study by any one interested in the subject.†An interesting article on an interesting subject.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In addition there are two testimonials to Darwin. The first p. 356 is a testimonial on Darwin’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 Darwin’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 Darwin’s reply. <br /> <br /> The volume includes articles by many of the most important scientists of the day.<br /> Freeman 1773; Freeman 1776.

Freeman p 26.<br> <br> 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.<br> <br> "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."

18712200159<p><i>Oblong 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.</i></p><p>Published to capitalise on the infamous Tichborne case then beginning to run its course through the courts.</p><p>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.</p><p>The illustrations are very clearly in the style of Richard Doyle's <i>The Manners and Customs of Ye Englyshe</i> which first appeared in <i>Punch</i> 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.</p><p>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 <i>Bishop Hatto: a legend of the Mouse-Tower on the Rhine</i> in 1861 but these are both in a quite different style.</p><p>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 <i>The Gem</i>.</p><p>OCLC records only a second edition at the National library of Wales only.</p> Bemrose and Sons

Corners of binding bumped and lower part of back hindge with a small tear. An overall very fine and clean copy. 2 464 pp. <br/><br/><em>First Italian translation of Darwin's Journal of researches now known as Voyage of the Beagle being his first published book. As Darwin later recalled in his autobiography 'The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career'. "On its first appearance in its own right also in 1839 it was called Journal of researches into the geology and natural history etc. The second edition of 1845 transposes 'geology' and 'natural history' to read Journal of researches into the natural history and geology etc. and the spine title is Naturalist's voyage. The final definitive text of 1860 has the same wording on the title page but the spine readsNaturalist's voyage round the world and the fourteenth thousand of 1879 places A naturalist's voyage on the title page. The voyage of the Beagle first appears as a title in the Harmsworth Library edition of 1905. It is a bad title: she was only a floating home for Darwin on which in spite of good companionship he was cramped and miserably sea-sick; whilst the book is almost entirely about his expeditions on land."

1838656871838. Notiz. Geb. Nat. Heilk. 2 122. - Weimar Landes-Industrie-Comptoir Mai 1838 4° Sp.177-191 feine Broschur. First German Print! London and Edinburgh phil. Journ. Jan. 1838 Supplementheft. "After returning from the Beagle survey expedition in October 1836 Darwin was intensively occupied with further establishing his reputation as an innovative geologist as well as finding suitable experts to describe his natural history collections and arranging for publication of their work as the multi-volume Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. Near the outset of the voyage he had planned a book on geology and during it extracts from his letters on geology had been privately published by his tutor John Stevens Henslow. Darwin now published papers on "proofs of recent elevation on the coast of Chili" "deposits containing extinct Mammalia" and "coral formations". He also rewrote his journal to incorporate observations from his notebooks as the book now called The Voyage of the Beagle and began brain-storming in his notebooks about transmutation of species. Darwin's health suffered from the pressure of work and on 20 September 1837 having been urged by his doctors "knock off all work" he visited his home in Shrewsbury then went on to stay with his relatives at Maer Hall Staffordshire home of his uncle Josiah Wedgwood. Uncle Jos pointed out an area of ground where lime and cinders spread years previously had vanished into the soil forming layers under a top layer of loam. Jos suggested that this might have been the work of earthworms but apparently thought that this would be of little interest to his nephew who was working on continental scale geological problems. Actually Charles did find it interesting and throughout his life he sustained an interest in this "unsung creature which in its untold millions transformed the land as the coral polyps did the tropical sea". He returned to London on October 21 and prepared a paper on worms forming mould. The paper on the role of earthworms in soil formation was read out by Darwin at the Geological Society of London on 1 November 1837. This was an uncommonly mundane subject for the society and his peers may have hoped to hear of something more grandiose even seeing this paper as highlighting Darwin's growing idiosyncrasies. The leading geologist William Buckland subsequently recommended Darwin's paper for publication praising it as "a new & important theory to explain Phenomena of universal occurrence on the surface of the Earth-in fact a new Geological Power" while rightly rejecting Darwin's suggestion that chalkland could have been formed in a similar way."

Erste deutsche Ausgabe von Darwins Abhandlung über marine Pfeilwürmer die er auf seiner Reise mit der Beagle gesammelt hatte. Es handelt sich um eine der frühen Arbeiten Darwins über wirbellose Tiere die ursprünglich für die Veröffentlichung in The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle vorgesehen war. Der Ursprung dieser seltsamen fleischfressenden Tiere die Darwin sehr interessant fand ist immer noch ungeklärt. Darwin beschrieb sie als "eines der anomalsten Tiere der Welt". Ursprünglich hatte Darwin geplant auch Beschreibungen wirbelloser Tiere in die Zoologie aufzunehmen doch die Erschöpfung des staatlichen Zuschusses zwang ihn diese Idee aufzugeben. Stattdessen beschloss er seine eigenen Beobachtungen und Beschreibungen der Exemplare zu veröffentlichen die er für wichtige Neuentdeckungen hielt und tat dies in Artikeln über Sagitta die er im Herbst 1843 fertigstellte und Planariae die er 1844 beschrieb."
