George Stebbing was FitzRoy’s private assistant the son of an instrument maker from Portsmouth brought on board to maintain the chronometers and other navigational instruments. Darwin’s account is “one of the most interesting records of natural history exploration ever written and one of the most important for it was on this voyage that Darwin prepared for his lifework ultimately leading to The Origin of Species†Hill. The voyage of the Beagle was “the most important event in Darwin’s intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science knowing the importance of evidence almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since creation but had undergone change… The experiences of his five years . . . and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought†DSB. The third volume of the set is Darwin’s first published book best-known as the ‘Journal of Researches or The Voyage of the Beagle’. This is an extremely rare and important presentation copy relating to the voyage of the Beagle. One of a very small number of copies specially-bound for presentation this copy is inscribed in Darwin’s hand to Andrew Smith M.D. Darwin visited Smith at Cape Town on the Beagle’s return voyage. He accompanied Smith superintendent of the South African Museum on several geological journeys. In a letter to his mentor John Henslow who had arranged the introduction to Smith Darwin wrote “he is a capital person and most indefatigable observer: he has brought back an immense collection & amongst other things a new species of Rhinoceros. If you had heard him describe his system of travelling and mode of defence it would have recalled the days of enthusiasm which you have told me you felt on first reading Le Vaillant.†In The Descent of Man Darwin quoted liberally from Smith’s works on subjects from “on Hottentot notions of beauty†to “an instance of memory in a baboon.†The men corresponded until 1871 the year before Smith’s death. The Beagle crew consisted of sixty-five officers and men and nine “supernumeraries†including Stebbing who was engaged “to secure the constant . attendance required by a large number of chronometers and to be enabled to repair our instruments and keep them in order.†These nine extra men also included “Mr. Charles Darwin . a young man of promising ability extremely fond of geology and indeed all branches of natural history†Voyages of the Adventure and the Beagle vol. II pp. 19-20. No other presentation copy of Darwin’s ‘Journal’ has appeared on the market in the last seventy years.

Wale R.N. from his brother Malcolm Wale" on the recto of the first blank in two of the volumes; with the bookplate of Ro Mar the R.D. Wardens on the front paste-down of each volume. "IT DETERMINED MY WHOLE CAREER" Darwin. First edition volume III Darwin's "Journal and Remarks 1832-1836" is his first printed book. This celebrated voyage which lasted five years was the "key formative event in Darwin's life. It "determined my whole career" Autobiography 76 giving him an unrivalled opportunity to make observations collect animals and plants and explore some of the most beautiful desolate and isolated places in the world. Under FitzRoy the voyage's objectives extended to include geophysical measurements and the Beagle was equipped with a variety of instruments and devices including a lightning conductor and a large number of marine chronometers for measuring longitude. The Admiralty intended the officers to make a chain of exceptionally accurate measurements round the globe. The ship also carried out trials on Beaufort's wind scale" Desmond Moore and Browne. Between 1832 and 1836 the Beagle visited the Cape Verde Islands Brazil Montevideo and Buenos Aires Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn the Falkland Islands Patagonia the west coast of South America Chilo� Valpara�so Lima most famously the Gal�pagos Islands Tahiti New Zealand Australia Sydney Tasmania King George's Sound the Cocos Keeling Islands Mauritius Cape Town and St Helena and Ascension. In all these places Darwin collected a vast numbers of specimens: insects birds molluscs small vertebrates invertebrates and plants meticulously recording their provenance appearance and behaviour in his notebooks and diaries. Of these the specimens the greatest and most important by far became the birds from the Gal�pagos Islands which the ornithologist and artist John Gould helped Darwin to classify on his return to England. The similarities and differences between the species inhabiting different islands and between the island species and those of continental South America gave rise to Darwin's initial thoughts on the possibility of transmutation of characteristics in species and represents to history the origin of his revolutionary and controversial theories of evolution.

‎DARWIN CHARLES. "THE MOST IMPORTANT BIOLOGICAL BOOK EVER WRITTEN" FREEMAN‎

‎O Proischozhdenii Vodov. Russian: On the Origin of Species. Perevel c anglijskago translated from English by S.A. Rachinsky.‎

‎S.-Peterburg 1864. 8vo. Bound in a beautiful recent pastiche-binding of brown half calf with marbled papers over boards and elegant gilding to spine. End-papers renewed. A few dampstains and a bit of brownspotting throughout. A nice copy. XIV 399 1 pp. 1 plate. � Rare first edition of the first Russian translation of Darwin's "Origin of Species" a main reason for the widespread effect of Darwinism in Russia where the theory met less resistance in the 1860'ies than it did in Western Europe. <br><br>In Russia Darwinism had a profound influence not only upon the different sciences but also on philosophy economic and political thought and the great literature of the period. For instance both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky referenced Darwin in their most important works as did numerous other thinkers of the period.<br><br>"In 1864 S.A. Rachinsky professor of plant physiology at St. Petersburg University produced the first Russian translation of the "Origin". Although not a masterpiece of translation art the book sold out so quickly that in 1865 it went through a second printing. By this time Darwin's ideas were discussed not only by scientists but also by such popular writers as Dmitri Pisarev and M. A. Antinovich." Glick p. 232. <br><br>Rachinsky began translating the "Origin" in 1862 and wrote an important article on the theories presented in it while working on the translation. This article and the translation of the "Origin" into Russian were responsible for the great success and rapid widespread knowledge of Darwinian theory of evolution in Russia. <br><br>"Darwin was concerned that the "Origin of Species" reach naturalists across the world but translations of that complicated work raised problems for Darwin. If he found it difficult to make the reader "understand what is meant" in England and America at least in those two countries he and the reader were discussing the "Origin of Species" in the same language. Foreign language editions raised not only the thorny question of translating Darwinian terms but also the problem of translators who often thought it proper to annotate their editions to explain the "significance" of Darwinism. The first Russian translation of the "Origin of Species" 1864 appeared however without any comment whatever by the translator Sergei A. Rachinsky professor of botany at the University of Moscow. Rachinsky had begun the translation in 1862 and published an article on Darwinism while continuing work on the translation in 1863." Rogers p. 485. <br><br>In the year of publication of the translation 1864 Pisarev wrote a long article in "The Russian Word" which purports to be a review of this translation; the critic complains about the absence of notes and commentaries by the translator. Pisarev furthermore points to several errors in the translation and to numerous infelicities of expression. Acknowledging the importance of the work however and of the spreading of Darwinism in Russia he goes on in his own essay to provide a much more popular account of Darwin's theory and to impress upon his readers its revolutionary significance.<br><br>Nikolai Strakhov also reviewed the translation immediately upon publication acknowledging the effect it would have. Strakhov however recognized potential dangers inherent in the theory and expressed them in his review of Rachinsky's translation. He praised the work for its thoroughness and rejoiced in the evidence that man constituted the highest stage of organic development; but then he went on to argue that by moving into questions of philosophy and theology the Darwinists were exceeding the limits of scientific evidence. <br><br>Like Pisarev Tolstoy enthusiastically embraced Darwinism. "The first mention of Darwin in Tolstoy's literary "Nachlass" is found in one of the drafts to "War and Peace". There Darwin is listed apparently quite favorably among leading thinkers "working toward new truth" . Thus by the late 1860's the name of Darwin as a leading scientist was already familiar to Tolstoy and duly respected." McLean p. 160. A fact which is often overlooked is that Tolstoy actually knew Rachinsky quite well. Interestingly it was in a letter to Rachinsky in reply to a question about the structure of "Anna Karenina" that Tolstoy made the famous statement that all Tolstoy scholars and lovers know by heart: "I am proud of the architecture - the arches are joined in such a way that you cannot discover where the keystone is". <br><br>Like Strakhov however Dostoevsky acknowledging the significance of the "Origin" saw the dangers of the theory. In the same year as the publication of Rachinsky's translation he lets the narrator in "Notes from Underground" 1864 launch his attack on Darwinism beginning: "As soon as they prove you for instance that you are descended from a monkey then it's no use scowling you just have to accept it."<br>In "Crime and Punishment" two years later 1866 the Darwinian overtones inherent in Raskolnikov's theory of the extraordinary man are unmistakable. He describes the mechanism of "natural selection" where according to the laws of nature by the crossing of races and types a "genius" would eventually emerge. <br>In general Darwinian themes and Darwin's name occur in many contexts in a large number of Dostoevsky's works.<br><br>Freeman: 748. <br><br>See: <br>James Allen Rogers: The Reception of Darwin's Origin of Species by Russian Scientists. In: Isis Vol. 64 No. 4 Dec. 1973 pp. 484-503.<br>Thomas F. Glick: The Comparative Reception of Darwinism. 1974.<br>Hugh McLean: In Quest of Tolstoy. 2008. hardcover‎
