‎A Naturalist's Voyage. Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage of HMS 'Beagle' round the World under the Command of Captain Fitz Roy. With Portrait. BRIGHT CLEAN COPY IN PUBLISHER'S BINDING‎

‎John Murray 1897. 8vo. with portrait frontispiece original tissue guard present and 6 small illustrations in the text neat contemporary signature on half-title; original dark green rhea hunt blocked in gilt on upper board gilt back patterned endpapers joints lightly rubbed corners very lightly bruised hinges tender but binding entirely sound a little age-worn else a bright clean crisp copy. With 32p publisher's catalogue dated January 1898 and partially unopened bound in at end. Quite apart from its scientific value Darwin's first published work 1839 is an important travel work in its own right. This is essentially a re-issue of Murray's 1890 edition Freeman 28 with the postscript incorporated in the text but preserving the gilt 'rhea' hunt on upper board and gilt '3/6' on backstrip first seen in the 1889 edition Freeman 21. In addition Captain Fitzroy's name is reset as 'Fitz Roy' on title. Freeman 49. John Murray, unknown‎

Beautifully framed with an early photographic card.The letter reads in full: ""Down Beckenham Kent Dec. 17th. Dear Sir Four editions of the Origin have appeared; that published last month is considerably added to & can be procured through any bookseller. I am glad to hear that you are interested in the subject. Dear sir yours faithfully Charles Darwin."" In November Darwin had copies of the substantially revised and augmented fourth edition of the Origin sent to Huxley and Wallace among others; their letters acknowledging receipt and praising the new edition are dated November 11 and November 19 respectively. The mourning stationery reflects the death of Darwin's sister Susan Elizabeth Darwin in October; another sister Emily Catherine Langton had died in January that year.

‎ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life‎

‎London: John Murray 1861. A very early issuance and only the third edition seventh thousand of the title with important additions and corrections of Darwin's monumental work. This edition is printed in the same format and binding as the first edition and includes "An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin of Species" in which Darwin acknowledges his fellow scientists as regards the theory of evolution as well as a table of corrections to the first and second editions. Two-thousand copies only were printed and issued in April 1861. Folding lithographed diagram by W. West. Quarto in 12's 7 3/4" x 5 7/8" 193mm x 124mm publisher's original green cloth gilt decorated on the spine and blocked in blind on the covers salmon glazed paper end-leaves with the binders Edmonds & Remnants ticket on the rear paste-down. Housed in a handsome morocco labeled slipcase with chemise. i-v vi-xix 538 2 ads. and with one folding plate. A very fresh and clean copy fine and very bright both internally and externally with only very light evidence of age or use. The end-leaves in excellent condition and unusually clean the hinges strong and pleasing and without refurbishment a slight bit of rubbing only at the extremities. An especially pleasing copy unusually well preserved. One of the best we have seen. AN ESPECIALLY HANDSOME AND PLEASING COPY OF THIS GREAT BOOK. THE THIRD AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT ISSUANCE OF CHARLES DARWIN'S MASTERWORK.<br> The book is rare in cloth in this condition.<br> Darwin's Revolutionary Masterwork in which he not only "drew an entirely new picture of the workings of organic nature; he revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the natural order of things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had been finally established and a vast step forward in the uniformity of nature had been taken." PMM Together with Copernicus' DE REVOLUTIONIBUS and Newton's PRINCIPIA it is deemed one of the three greatest and most important scientific works ever penned.<br> "The most influential scientific work of the nineteenth century" and "The most important biological work ever written" Horblit Freeman. Darwin's elaboration of the theory of natural selection laid the groundwork for the controversy over the evolution of man and with only slight modification by such scientists as Stephen Jay Gould Darwin's ideas remain the umbra under which most current biological research is conducted.<br> The import of the ORIGIN need hardly be stated. This edition for the first time contains Darwin's historical treatment of theories of evolution: "An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin of Species" xiii-xix. Here Darwin acknowledges the impact of Lamarck Patrick Matthew and others right up to 1860 on his thought. As such it is the first edition that situates Darwin in his broader intellectual context.<br> Copies of the ORIGIN are often quite worn but the present item is unusually well preserved bright clean tight and especially handsome. The book was if ever used handled very kindly indeed.<br> Darwin had intended the book to be an abstract of his 'big book' on transmutation of which only the first part Variation Under Domestication 1868 was published in his lifetime.

‎On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Fifth Thousand. Second Edition Second Issue. BRIGHT FRESH COPY OF THE SECOND 'ORIGIN'‎

‎John Murray 1860. 8vo. Fifth Thousand Second Edition Second Issue with folding diagram neat contemporary signature in pencil at head of title with second pencilled signature lower down front free endpaper a little chafed at fore-edge three or four small fox-spots each on half-title title and diagram; original green cloth boards elaborately blocked in blind gilt back brown endpapers uncut expertly recased with original endpapers preserved a remarkably bright fresh copy in minimally restored publisher's binding. With 32pp publisher's catalogue dated January 1860 bound in at end and the binder's ticket of Edmonds & Remnants on rear paste-down. The second edition second issue is not so named on title but simply labelled 'Fifth Thousand'; Freeman records that 3000 copies were printed following the 1250 copies of the first edition. Although Darwin considered this edition a rapid revision to meet demand his changes are much more than mere correction. 'The total number of changes in this edition is impressive enough. No chapter was untouched' Peckham. The most famous alteration is the dilution of the whale bear passage on p.184 which Darwin later regretted although he never restored it. With the signed and ruled advertisements which Freeman considers the first issue. Freeman 113 variant a; Freeman F376. John Murray, hardcover‎

‎London: John Murray 1899. A very early printing of the Second edition revised and augmented tenth thousand. Illustrated with numerous figures and drawings throughout the text. 8vo publisher’s original green cloth lettered in gilt on the spine the covers with decorative borders in blind. xvi 693 includes index. A very bright and pleasing copy the binding in very good order the text clean solid fresh with just a few spots on occasion. AN EARLY ISSUE ONE OF DARWIN’S MOST IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT WORKS THIS IS A HANDSOME COPY IN ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S BINDING.<br> In the preface to the second edition Darwin wrote of “the fiery ordeal through which this book has passed.†Profiting from the criticism leveled at the text together with a number of new facts several correspondents had given him Darwin revised and added to his book. However his “conviction of the power of sexual selection remains unshaken.â€<br> The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works in this volume. The last chapter is about sexual selection in relation to man and ends with the statement about man's lowly origin “the wording of which differs slightly in the first edition from that which is usually quoted" Freeman p. 129.
