DARWIN CARLOS. FIRST COMPLETE SPANISH TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S "JOURNAL OF RESEARCHES"

Madrid Calpe 1921 & 1922 8vo. Bound in one half calf binding with four raised bands. Spine with wear otherwise a fine copy. X 6 361 VIII 359 3 pp. 1 folded map. � First complete Spanish translation of Darwin's "Journal of Researches": "La �nica que completa e intacta se ofrece en castellano" From the introduction to the present work. The work now now known as Voyage of the Beagle was Darwin's 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'. <br><br>"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."

DARWIN Carlo
Le piante insettivore offered with Le diverse forme dei fiori in piante della stessa specie
Torino: Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese 1884. FIRST EDITIONS IN ITALIAN. Original printed wrappers. I: First and only Italian edition of Insectivorous plants first published in London in 1875. Darwin's meticulous study of the adaptation of plants particularly under impoverished conditions. A chance observation of flies caught on a leaf of Drosera rotundifolia led the author to a series of experiments and subsequent conclusion about the significance of carnivorous feeding and how this remarkable adaptation ensures the survival of the plant. Of particular interest to Darwin was his observation that the living plant cells possessed a capacity for irritability and response much like that of the nerve and muscle cells of animals. II: First Italian edition of Different forms of flowers on plants of the same species London 1877. A very technical work devoted to dimorphism of plants with a specific attention to primrose and primulaceous plants. Darwin noticed that in some species flowers differ by the lengths of their anthers and styles like the primroses which show two conditions or loosestrife which shows three. This work was only translated into French and German during Darwin's lifetime. Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese unknown

DARWIN CARLO CHARLES. FIRST ITALIAN TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S "ORIGIN OF SPECIES"
Sull'Origine delle Specie per Elezione Naturale ovvero Conservazione delle Razze perfezionate nella Lotto per L'Esistenza. Prima Traduzione Italiana col Consenso dell' Autore per Cura di G. Canestrini e L. Salimbeni.
Modena Nicola Zanichelli e. Soci 1864. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with four raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Reinforced in inner margins and plate with waterstains to lower margin. An unusually fine and well preserved copy internally as well as externally. XV 403 pp 1 plate. � Rare first edition of the first Italian translation of Darwin's seminal "Origin of Species" quite unusually authorized by Darwin himself. The work was very well received and - compared to France and Spain - Darwinism was quickly adopted by Italian biologist and zoologist and meet only little catholic opposition. <br><br>"The impact of Darwinism on Italian naturalists was powerful; the logic and rigorous treatment of the problem of the origin of species as Darwin had presented it forced zoologists and anthropologists to reconsider those passages of Lamarckisms that they had agreed to with excessive enthusiasm". Capanna Darwinism and the Italian academies. <br><br>The reception of Darwin's work in France 1862 and Spain 1877 were characterized by a strong chatolic opposition which also had a strong suppressing effect on the spread of his ideas to academic institutions.<br>Despite of Italy being a catholic stronghold the reception of Darwinism was very favourable and meet very limited criticism from the church:<br><br>"In contrast to the power Catholicism was able to exert against Darwinism in Spain it was practically impotent in Italy. Neither could the Italian Catholic intellectual establishment draw upon a repertory of anti-Darwinism arguments from the Italian scientific establishment as was done in France. As in France under the Third Republic and as was the case sporadically in Spain the advent of Darwinism in Italy provided a source of ideology for the anticlerical movement. Although Darwinism enjoyed a number of close connections with the English source the peculiarities of the Italian situation set Darwinism in Italy apart from other situations. Italy was in the forefront in recognizing Darwin electing him to various academies and societies and awarding him the famous Bressa Prize in 1875. <br>In Italy the translation of the Origin "1864" was given an impeccable scientific presentation by Giocanni Canestrini and Leonardo Salimbeni which avoided the type of situation that arose from the presentation of Darwinism in France by Cl�mence Royer as a new scientific basis for a secularistic Weltanschauung. As a general explanation of course it is reasonable to accept Cermenati's arguments that the favorable receptivity of the scientific community and the general indifference to ecclesiastical objections to Darwinism are the chief factors explaining the quick spread of Darwinism in Italy". Glick The Comparative Reception of Darwinism.<br><br>Emma Darwin Darwin's wife wrote publisher John Murry on the 17th of December: "Mr Darwin desires me to say that as you have never hesitated to authorize a foreign translation he has taken upon himself to authorise a translation into Italian without consulting you." <br>When Darwin was informed that his work was being translated into Italian he wrote to his close friend J. D. Hooker: "There is an Italian Edit. of Origin preparing!!! This makes fifth foreign Edit ie in five foreign countries. Owen will not be right in telling Longmans that Book wd be utterly forgotten in ten years. Hurrah!".<br><br>Freeman no. 706 hardcover
