1868172871London: John Murray 1868. Survival of the fittest First edition first issue of the first of Darwin's works to use the famous evolutionary phrase preceding by a year its first appearance in Origin of Species fifth edition 1869. "Survival of the fittest" was coined by the philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer on reading Origin and remains the most succinct summary of Darwin's theory of natural selection. Variation under Domestication represents "the first two chapters of the projected 'big book' on the origin of species of which Origin was an abstract; this was the only section of the 'big book' published during Darwin's lifetime" Norman. It was "intended to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation although it would also incidentally answer Lyell and Gray who maintained that variations had not occurred purely by chance but were providentially directed. Darwin showed that breeders indeed selected from a vast array of minute random variations. He gave numerous instances of the causes of variability including the direct effect of the conditions of life reversion the effects of use and disuse saltation prepotency and correlated growth. Variation also addressed a key criticism of Origin: that it lacked an adequate understanding of inheritance" ODNB. As such Variation is a full statement of the facts on which the theories of Origin were based leaving aside an account of human evolution for Descent of Man 1871. This is the only Darwin title published by Murray to appear in the larger format of demy octavo. The first issue was published in a run of 1500 copies for which this copy has all the relevant points: five errata in Volume I nine errata on seven lines in Volume II and the spine imprint on one line. The second issue with substantial textual variations was published in a run of 1250 copies in February and is distinguished by a single erratum in Volume I no errata in Volume II and a two-line imprint on the spine. 2 vols demy octavo. With 43 woodcuts in text. Vol. I with 32 pp. of publisher's advertisements dated April 1867 vol. II with 2 pp. of advertisements dated February 1868. Original green cloth spines lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind dark green coated endpapers binder's ticket of Edmonds & Remnants to rear pastedown of vol. I.

Lightly rubbed and marked a little chipping to head and foot of spines. Hinges just starting occasional light spotting else a crisp set. A crisp copy of the first edition first issue with 12 errata across both volumes and the publisher's imprint featuring on a single line to the foot of each spine of English naturalist Charles Darwin's 1809-1882 ground-breaking study of variation within plants and animals caused by the modification of species by breeders and horticulturists. The variation of animals and plants under domestication is notable for containing the first appearance of the term 'survival of the fittest' as a substitute for Darwin's more anthropomorphic 'natural selection'; and the first expression of his theory of Pangenesis the inheritance of acquired characteristics.

Darwin's earliest use of "survival of the fittest" First edition first issue of the first of Darwin's works to use the famous evolutionary phrase preceding its appearance in the fifth edition of the Origin of Species by a year.

1868151873London: John Murray 1868. First edition first issue of Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis in which he first uses the phrase "survival of the fittest" for the first time. First issue without publisher's advertisements errata with five items in six lines in the first volume on page vi and nine items in seven lines in the second volume on page viii. Octavo two volumes bound in full contemporary calf with titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels all edges marbled marbled endpapers illustrated with numerous in-text illustrations and a chart. In very good condition bookplates to the front pastedowns. Darwin's Variation Under Domestication “took up in detail that subject which had been confined to one chapter of the Origin. It contained Darwin’s hypothesis of pangenesis by means of which he tried to frame an explanation of hereditary resemblance inheritance of acquired characters atavism and regeneration. It was a brave attempt to account for a number of phenomena which were beyond the bounds of scientific knowledge in his day such as fertilization by the union of sperm with egg the mechanism of chromosomal inheritance and the development of the embryo by successive cell division. His hypothesis of pangenesis could not therefore give a permanently acceptable account of the multitude of phenomena it was designed to explain. It was however a point of departure for particulate theories of inheritance in the later 19th century†DSB. John Murray unknown
186810685<p>New York: Orange Judd & Company. Very Good. 1868. Hardcover. Faint small spots of discoloration along the foredge of first 193 pages - does not affect legibility or integrity of the volume. Bumped two lower corners of covers. Bookplate to inside front cover. ; Book is in excellent condition. Volume 2 is concerned with how species inherit particular characteristics Darwin first published his 'provisional hypothesis' of pangenesis. This theory of 'gemmules' was not met with much acceptance and today is not valuable as scientific explanation but it was important in laying down the key questions that needed to be answered regarding the processes of genetic inheritance. Darwin also used volume 2 to challenge the theories of evolution by design expounded by the botanist Asa Gray. Darwin's arguments were some of the very first in a long debate that remains hot today. The work was intended to counter critics of Origin of Species particularly those who questioned the reality of variation and the mechanism of inheritance. It is considered a classic in evolutionary biology providing crucial support for the theory of evolution. It laid groundwork for modern plant and animal breeding and genetics. ; ; 568 pages .</p> Orange Judd & Company hardcover

'With detailed facts and lengthy discussion the work includes what Darwin believed to be new ideas of pangenesis but the topics of sexual selection and human evolution were excluded from these already thick volumes.

In the first the imprint is printed on a single line on the spine while it is broken on to two lines in the second as here.

189274513London: John Murray 1892. Second Edition Revised - Fourth Thousand. Hardcover. Very Good. First published in 1868 this book began as an expansion of the first two chapters of On the Origin of Species 1859: "Variation under Domestication" and "Variation under Nature" and it developed into one of his largest works; Darwin 1809-82 referred to it as his "big book." The first volume deals with the variations introduced into species as a result of domestication through changes in climate diet breeding and an absence of predators. He began with an examination of dogs and cats comparing them with their wild counterparts and moved on to investigate horses and asses; pigs cattle sheep and goats; domestic rabbits; domestic pigeons; fowl; and finally cultivated plants. The work is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation and a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolutionary biology.<br/> <br/> Octavo two volumes: xiv 473 p. x 495 p. with publisher's advertisements 43 textual figures and numerous tables. Original brown cloth bindings with gilt titles and decorative black and blind stamping. The boards are especially clean and bright with only some light wear to the corners and tips.
