Full mock leather. Spine with gilt title. = This is a seldom-seen luxury facsimile edition of Charles Darwin careful views on behaviour in animals and in the human species with a strong emphasis on the latter. This is widely regarded as Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory ".following On the Origin of Species 1859 and The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex 1871. Initially intended as a chapter in Descent of Man Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. Darwin explores the biological aspects of emotional behaviour and the animal origins of human characteristics like smiling and frowning shrugging shoulders lifting eyebrows in surprise and baring teeth in an angry sneer. Before Darwin human emotional life had posed problems to the traditional philosophical categories of mind and body. Darwin's interest in the subject can be traced to his time as an Edinburgh medical student and the 1824 edition of Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression by Charles Bell which argued for a spiritual dimension to the subject. In contrast Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their origins in animal behaviour allowing cultural factors only an auxiliary role in shaping the expression of emotion. This biological emphasis highlights six different emotional states: happiness sadness fear anger surprise and disgust. It also appreciates the universal nature of expression implying a shared evolutionary heritage for the entire human species. Darwin also points to the importance of emotional communication with children in their psychological development. . The book involves several innovations: Darwin circulated a questionnaire probably inspired by his cousin Francis Galton during his preparatory research; simple psychology experiments on the recognition of emotions with his friends and family; and like Duchenne de Boulogne a physician at the Salpêtrière Hospital the use of photography in his presentation of scientific information. Darwin's publisher warned him that including the photographs would "make a hole in the profits" of the book''." Wikipedia. A mint copy. hardcover‎

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 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."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.Freeman 863. </em> unknown‎

‎London and New York Macmillan and Co. 1871. Royal8vo. In publisher's original red embossed cloth. In "Nature. A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Science" Vol. 3 November 1870 - April 1871. Stamp to title-page and ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front end-paper. Binding with considerable wear; spine partly disintegrated and front board bended vertically but bookblock firmly attached. Internally fine and clean. Darwin's paper: Pp. 502-503. Entire volume: XII 520 pp. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Darwin’s defense of his Pangenesis-theory. The Pangenesis theory was hypothetical mechanism for heredity in which he proposed that each part of the body continually emitted its own type of small organic particles called gemmules that aggregated in the gonads contributing heritable information to the gametes. He presented this 'provisional hypothesis' in his 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication intending it to fill what he perceived as a major gap in evolutionary theory at the time. Darwin's half-cousin Francis Galton spent much time conducting wide-ranging inquiries into heredity which led him to refute Charles Darwin's hypothetical theory of pangenesis. In consultation with Darwin he set out to see if gemmules were transported in the blood. Galton was troubled because he began the work in good faith intending to prove Darwin right and having praised pangenesis in Hereditary Genius in 1869. Cautiously he criticized his cousin's theory although qualifying his remarks by saying that Darwin's gemmules which he called "pangenes" might be temporary inhabitants of the blood that his experiments had failed to pick up. In the present paper Darwin challenged the validity of Galton's experiment giving his reasons in an article published in Nature where he wrote. “Now in the chapter on Pangenesis in my Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication I have not said one word about the blood or about any fluid proper to any circulating system. It is indeed obvious that the presence of gemmules in the blood can form no necessary part of my hypothesis; for I refer in illustration of it to the lowest animals such as the Protozoa which do not possess blood or any vessels; and I refer to plants in which the fluid when present in the vessels cannot be considered as true blood." He goes on to admit: "Nevertheless when I first heard of Mr. Galton's experiments I did not sufficiently reflect on the subject and saw not the difficulty of believing in the presence of gemmules in the blood.†From the present paper The hypothesis was finally refuted in the 1900ies after Gregor Mendel's theory of the particulate nature of inheritance was accepted. The Pangenesis-theory however may be considered an eclectic mix of DNA RNA proteins and prions and can be regarded as being one of the earliest steps toward the modern mechanism for heredity namely DNA and RNA.

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'. "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.

‎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.<br /> 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

Only the present first part was transted into Italian.Compared to France and Spain Darwinism was quickly adopted by Italian biologist and zoologist and meet only little catholic opposition. "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. The reception of Darwin's worsk in France and Spain were characterized by a strong chatolic opposition which also had a strong suppressing effect on the spread of his ideas to academic institutions.Despite of Italy being a catholic stronghold the reception of Darwinism was very favourable and meet very limited criticism from the church:"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."The three parts of Darwin's geological results of the Beagle voyage were separately published over a period of five years but they were intended and described on the title pages as parts of one work. They were all published by Smith Elder with the approval of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury some of the £1000 given for the publication of the results of the voyage going towards the cost of at least the first part. Darwin notes in May 1842 that the cost of Coral reefs was £130-140 and that 'the government money has gone much quicker than I thought'. By that date there were only two parts of the Zoology of the Beagle still to come out. Smith Elder also published the important later editions." FreemanFreeman 318. </em> hardcover‎
