Darwin C. Geikie A.
Charles Darwin as a geologist.
Cambridge the University Press 1909. 8vo 18.6 x 12.4 cm. 91 pp. Original red buckram with gilt title on the front board and spine. In transparent sleeve. This work by the Scottish geologist and president of the Royal Society Sir Archibald Geikie 1835-1924 is the full text of "The Rede Lecture. Given at the Darwin Centennial Commemoration on 24 June 1909.". The first 64 pages contain the actual lecture; the following pages contain 59 notes in smaller printing. The importance of Darwin as a geologist is overshadowed by his contributions to evolution but Geikie shows that Darwin was one of the greatest British geologists too. Geikie and Darwin were friends. Excerpts of letters by Darwin were used by Geikie in his "Prehistoric Europe a geological sketch" 1881 see Freeman. Slight foxing to the endpapers otherwise a near mint copy. Freeman 1351. hardcover

DARWIN C. CHARLES.
I movimenti e le abitudini delle piante rampicanti. Traduzione italiana col consenso dell'autore per cura di Giovanni Canestrini.
Torino Unione Tipografico-Editrice 1878. Large8vo. In recent cardboard wrappers. Occassional light brownspotting especially to the first and last few leaves. Otherwise fine. 127 pp. � First Italian translation of Darwin's "On the movement and habits of climbing plants". The paper was first published in 1865 in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London Freeman 833 later same year it was corrected and published in book form from which the present translation is made Freeman 1834 <br><br>Darwin described the origins and writing of this book in his autobiography: "In the autumn of 1864 I finished a long paper on Climbing Plants and sent it to the Linnean Society. The writing of this paper cost me four months: but I was so unwell when I received the proof-sheets that I was forced to leave them very badly and often obscurely expressed. The paper was little noticed but when in 1875 it was corrected and published as aseparate book it sold well. I was led to take up this subject by reading a short paper by Asa Gray published in 1858 on the movements of the tendrils of a Cucurbitacean plant. He sent me seeds and on raising some plants I was so much fascinated and perplexed by the revolving movements of the tendrils and stems which movements are really very simple though appearing at first very complex that I procured various other kinds of Climbing Plants and studied the whole subject. I was all the more attracted to it from not being at all satisfied with the explanation which Henslow gave us in his Lectures about Twining plants namely that they had a natural tendency to grow up in a spire. This explanation proved quite erroneous. Some of the adaptations displayed by climbing plants are as beautiful as those by Orchids for ensuring cross-fertilisation."<br><br>The first edition did not appear in America nor was it translated in Darwin's lifetime but has a recent facsimile. The second appeared in French German and Italian and in America from English stereos.<br><br>Freeman 863. unknown

Darwin C.
Remarks upon the habits of the genera Geospiza Camarhynchus Cactornis and Certhidea of Gould.
London The Zoological Society of London 1837. 8vo 22.7 x 13.9 cm. p. 49. Original blind blue wrappers preserved in a green clamshell box with gilt title. First note by Darwin on the group that made him famous: the so-called Darwin's finches of the Galapagos Archipelago. As noted in Charles Darwin: a companion "The importance of the fauna of the Galapagos islands especially of the ground finches now called Darwin's finches . to the development of Charles Darwin's early thought on evolution has often been stressed". This is Darwin's fifth publication in a serial between 1837 and 1886 another 160 were to follow - see Freeman. Published in the leading natural history periodical of the 19th century the Society's prestigious Proceedings volume 553 with a total of 172 vii 165 pp. As noted by Freeman there are four other papers by the famous ornithologist John Gould on Darwin's South American birds including many new species e.g. Rhea Darwinii but these are without direct comment by Darwin. Uncut partly unopened. Wrappers with some light spotting marginal fraying price written in pen to bottom of front wrapper a few short tears paper partly perished over the spine - otherwise a very good clean copy. Bound library copies of the whole volume V are uncommon; a copy in original wrappers is decidedly rare. Freeman 1644; Freeman Charles Darwin: a companion p. 147. unknown

Reply letter. Testimonial to Mr. Darwin. - Evolution in the Netherlands.
London Nature 1877. Folio 28.2 x 19.6 cm. pp. 410-412 in: Nature issue 15384 pp. cliii-clxiv 389-424. Original printed wrappers. On the occasion of Charles Darwin's 69th birthday the Dutch zoologist ornithologist and chairman of the Netherlands Zoological Society Adriaan Anthoni van Bemmelen 1830-1897 and the society�s secretary the entomologist Huibert Johannes Veth 1846-1917 sent Darwin an album with photographs of 217 Dutch admirers including 81 doctors and 21 university professors. Darwin replied: "I suppose that every worker at science occasionally feels depressed and doubts whether what he has published has been worth the labour which it has cost him; but for the remaining years of my life whenever I want cheering I will look at the portraits of my distinguished co-workers in the field of science and remember their generous sympathy. When I die the album will be a most precious bequest to my children.". Currently the album is in Down House. Uncut as issued. A few spots on the outer wrappers; weak vertical fold due to method of dispatching; otherwise a very good clean copy. Darwin Correspondence Project Letter no. 10831; Freeman 1776. unknown
