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."

1844314481844. Notiz. Geb. Nat. Heilk. 2 639. - Weimar Landes-Industrie-Comptoir April 1844 4° Sp.1-16 1 lith. Tafel orig. Broschur. 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."

186329135Stuttgart: E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagshandlung und Druckerie 1863. Boards. Very Good. VIII 551 1 blank pages. Plus original albumen photograph of Darwin mounted on thin board inserted before the half title with original tissue guard still present. 8vo. 1/4 leather gilt over marbled boards. Light overall wear to the binding. Bookseller ticket LW Schmidt New York German Bookseller on front pastedown. Lightly browned pages clean internally. A nice copy. Boards. The first German translation of Darwin's "Origin of the Species" was published in 1860 by the same publisher. This edition is notable for the inclusion of an albumen frontispiece of Darwin a very early portrait. Van Wyhe's Complete Photographs of Darwin identifies this portrait as a sitting by Maull & Polyblank from 1857. This image is identified as a variant of that image "1.1. Albumen photograph 15.3x11.5cm uncropped mounted on thick paper. Below image "Phothogr. v. Buchner / Charles Darwin. / E. Schweitzerbart'sche Verlagshandlung in Stuttgart." Frontispiece to Origin 2d ed. in German 1863 F673." If not the first it was certainly among the first albumen images of Darwin to be published in a book. A nice addition to any Darwin collection.<br /> <br /> The albumen print is by Carl Johann Sigmund Buchner.<br /> <br /> Literature:<br /> Freeman Bibliographical Handlist 2nd edition #673<br /> Van Wyhe's Complete Photographs of Darwin.

18965553<p><strong>First edition of the significant Russian translation of 'On the Origin of Species' by Kliment Timiryazev.</strong></p><p>The first Russian translation of Darwin's '<em>On the Origin of Species</em>' was completed in 1864 based on the American edition of 1860 and heavily influenced by the first German translation 1860.</p><p>A second translation appeared in 1896 offered in two versions—one by journalist historian and mathematician Mikhail Filipov and the other by the renowned Russian botanist and physiologist Kliment Timiryazev 1843-1920 a prominent advocate for Darwin's theories in Russia. Both translations were based on Darwin's final 6th edition 1876.</p><p>This first volume of the four-volume series '<em>The Works</em>' by Darwin features Timiryazev's first translation. As a young student at the University of St. Petersburg in 1860 Timiryazev first encountered Darwin's theory of the origin of species. After graduating he traveled to Heidelberg for further study and research where he spent much of his time with Vladimir Kovalevsky a passionate Russian Darwinist. In 1877 Timiryazev after some difficulty managed to arrange a meeting with Charles Darwin at Down House. Upon returning to Russia Timiryazev devoted himself to defending and promoting Darwin's theories. His translations of Darwin's works are considered the highest quality both in translation accuracy and scientific editing.</p><p><strong><em>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.
