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

1871013873London: Published by the author printed by Spottiswoode & Co 1871. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Nobleman author's vanity binding of his ant-Darwin treatise with complimentary ALS from Darwin's publisher John Murray PM Gladstone Napoleon III Times publisher John Walter and 37 others bound-in. 8vo custom contemporary binding likely commissioned by the Baron himself in polished grey full leather gilt ruled covers front hinge recently repaired 137 pages of text followed by 41 ALS bound-in and in the rear 6 pages one-sided of a pasted-in newspaper review of the book from an unidentified publication. The review observes that Sir Walsh "found it necessary in drawing a parallel between astronomy and geology to allude to Darwin and Buckle Lord Ornathwaite makes their theories the subject of severe criticism." The ALS's bound-in are from peers and public figures variously complimenting Sir Walsh on his work many agreeing with the intellectual aspersions that Sir Walsh heaps on Darwin. Gladstone admits to not being particularly familiar with Darwin's work but posits nevertheless that evolutionary theory tears away at the "fabric of belief". But it is John Murray Darwin's own publisher who is shameless in criticizing the most famous author he will have published: "Although I happen to publish the works both of Buckle & Darwin I do not hesitate to myself a sceptic in the theories of both & I hope one day to see these fallacies exploded & should not be sorry to aid in this result." Most of the letters are on baronial estate or residential letterhead and bound-in chronologically from the end of 1871 through July 1872. Published by the author, printed by Spottiswoode & Co hardcover

18324893England 1832. Letter written in brown ink on a folded sheet the back leaf containing an address in manuscript with a black wax seal a dragon with a D. The stamp has been cut from the letter without affecting the text. Letter by Francis Darwin announcing the death of his mother. The letter has been addressed to Samuel Tertius Galton in Birmingham the stamp has been cut from the letter without affecting the text. There is a black wax seal a dragon with a D on the verso. <br /> <br /> The text of the letter reads: My dear Galton /It has pleased God to remove our dearest mother from this world of sin & sorrow. She appeared to be much as usual until 2 o'clock & whilst sitting in her chair by the fire complained of general uneasiness. Sophie & I assisted her to the bed & she expired at 1/4 before 3 oclock in the presence of Dr. Bent & ourselves. She had thought herself so much better lately that Mrs. Hadley & Millicent were both sent home yesterday & the day before. /I hope Violetta will not suffer from this severe shock to us all. You shall hear again in a day or two. /Believe me affectionately yours / Frans S. Darwin.<br /> <br /> Violetta Darwin was the eldest daughter of Erasmus Darwin from his second marriage to Elizabeth Chandos Pole which took place in 1781. Violetta was married to Samuel Tertius Galton and the mother of Francis Galton. It is therefore likely that the Francis of this letter was one of her four brothers. unknown

AN IMPORTANT WORK IN THE DARWIN OEUVRE. One of the early printings which used the title "A Naturalist's Voyage" on the title page. One of Darwin’s earliest works. Even without publication of his works on evolution he would have had a considerable reputation as the author of The Voyage of the Beagle. While ‘The Origin of Species’ dominates perceptions of his work this is an important travel book in its own right and its relation to the background of his evolutionary ideas has often been stressed.Freeman.<br> “Of the great exploratory voyages ‘a most important place is taken by the voyage of the ‘Beagle’ in 1831-1834. Darwin’s name is so associated with the evolutionary idea through which he profoundly influenced scientific philosophical political religious and ethical thought that certain of his other claims are often forgotten. To appreciate his distinction it is necessary to recall that had he never written on evolution he would still stand in the front rank among naturalists and would have to be included in any history of science. Thus even during the voyage in the ‘Beagle’ he reached conclusions that modified and extended the fundamental working principles of geology and geophysics.†- Singer.<br> During the voyage Darwin suffered severely from seasickness. In a letter to his sister Caroline he wrote “ I continue to suffer so much from sea-sickness that nothing not even geology itself can make up for the misery .†Bowlby p.164 John Murray hardcover
