‎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.

‎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

‎THE EFFECTS OF CROSS AND SELF FERTILISATION IN THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM‎

‎London: John Murray 1900. Second Edition 5th Impression. Illustrated with diagrams and 109 tables. 8vo publisher's original dark green cloth lettered in gilt on the spine and decorated in blind with panel designs and border ruling on the covers. viii 487 pp. A very fine and bright copy indeed especially well preserved. A FINE COPY OF THIS ELUSIVE BOOK. Darwin considered this book to "form a complement to that on the Fertilisation of Orchids". "This book will form a a compliment to that on the Fertilisation of Orchids in which I showed how perfect were the means for cross-fertilisation and here I shall show how important are the results.<br> The LIFE AND LETTERS of Darwin III p. 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying that "if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the 'Origin' the author would have been canonised rather than anathematised by the natural theologians" and noted that a review in the 'Literary Churchman' found only one fault "that Mr. Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying 'O Lord how manifold are Thy works.'"<br> The book was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilize them their evolution being attributed to natural selection and therefore was the first of the volumes of "supporting evidence" for his ORIGIN OF SPECIES. THE EFFECTS OF CROSS AND SELF FERTILISATION continues the work begun in 'ORCHIDS". John Murray hardcover‎

This copy with pleasing provenance the copy of Anthony Traill Provost of Trinity College Dublin. Folding lithographed diagram by W. West. 8vo publisher's original green cloth gilt lettered on the spine and blocked in blind in a panel design on the covers original brown coated endpapers all edges untrimmed. xxi 458 pp. A very fine handsome bright and unmarked copy very clean and crisp throughout unusually so. A VERY FINE BRIGHT AND PLEASING COPY OF THE RARE SIXTH EDITION OF 1872 THE GREATEST BIOLOGICAL WORK EVER WRITTEN. IT IS CONSIDERED RARE AND WAS ISSUED IN A QUANTITY NOT EXCEEDING 2000 COPIES. This edition includes an expanded version of "An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin of Species" as well as a table of corrections. The Sixth Edition of 1872 consisted of 3000 copies including three states of the title page reading "Eleventh" "Twelfth" and "Thirteenth" Thousand The Sixth Edition contained a new chapter VII written to address and to refute the views certain other scientists. A glossary appears for the first time and additionally it is in this sixth edition that Darwin used for the first time the word "evolution". The word was inserted three times into the text twice on pages 201 and three times on page 424.<br> 'This edition was extensively revised by Darwin and the new chapter VII was inserted to confute the views of the Roman Catholic biologist S. George Mivart. The title changes to THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES and a glossary appears. It is in this edition that the word 'evolution' occurs for the first time. It had been used in the first edition of THE DESCENT OF MAN in the previous year but not before in this work. 'Evolved' had bee the last word of the text in all previous editions but 'evolution' had been omitted perhaps to avoid confusion with the use of the word by Herbert Spencer or with its more particular embryological meaning. The word had however been used in its transformist sense by Lyell as early as 1832 Principles of Geology Vol. II p. 11. On the verso of the title leaf of the 1872 issues there are advertisements for nine of Darwin's works whereas the 1873 reprint has ten. It must have been in press before November 1872 when EXPRESSION OF THE EMOTIONS came out otherwise the new book would have been added. See Freeman<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."

Traill was actively involved in politics during the 1870's and 1880's. He was an Ulster Unionist and in 1884 was appointed High Sheriff of Antrim. He was also chairman of the world's first electric tramway Portrush founded with his brother William. He was appointed Provost of Trinity College Dublin in 1904. During his time in the office he carried out many internal reforms. Traill refused to change the University's constitutional position at any time in his Provostship despite pressure. He remained the Provost until he died at the Provost's House in 1914.<br> Anthony Traill. 1838-1914 Provost of Trinity College Dublin. LLD LLB MB MCh MD.
