‎DARWIN, Charles‎

‎For Private Distribution. The following pages contains extracts from Letters addressed to Professor Henslow by C. Darwin Esq. They are printed for distribution among the members of the Cambridge Philosophical Society .‎

‎Cambridge: the University Press for the Cambridge Philosophical Society 1835. First edition. <p>First edition very rare of Darwin's first separately printed work - the thirty-one-page pamphlet in which John Stevens Henslow Cambridge Regius Professor of Botany and the mentor who had placed him aboard the Beagle printed extracts from ten of Darwin's letters from South America for private distribution to the Cambridge Philosophical Society on 1 December 1835. Darwin was then in the South Pacific and would not learn for six months that the pamphlet existed. Extracts had already been read aloud - at the Cambridge Philosophical Society on 16 November and two days later at the Geological Society of London by Adam Sedgwick with Charles Lyell serving his first term as President in the audience. By the time the Beagle docked at Falmouth in October 1836 his reputation had been made in his absence. This is the document by which Darwin was first introduced to the scientific community - twenty-four years before the Origin of Species a career before the books that would carry his name around the world.</p>. The Pamphlet that Made Darwin's Reputation before He Knew It Existed. <p>First edition very rare of Darwin's first separately printed work - the thirty-one-page pamphlet in which John Stevens Henslow Cambridge Regius Professor of Botany Darwin's mentor and the man who had secured him his berth on the Beagle printed selected passages from Darwin's letters home for private distribution to the Fellows of the Cambridge Philosophical Society on 1 December 1835. Darwin was then in the South Pacific had just called at Tahiti and would not learn for almost half a year that the pamphlet existed. He did not see a copy until October 1836 when he was back in England. In those intervening months the pamphlet circulated rapidly through the British geological establishment and the verdict was already being returned. This is the document by which the public naturalist of the following quarter-century was first introduced to the scientific community - twenty-four years before the Origin of Species thirty-six before the Descent of Man and a career before the books which would carry his name around the world. It is his first separately printed work and the first of the ninety-five entries in Freeman's bibliography.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The pamphlet was the printed form of extracts that had already been read aloud. On 16 November 1835 at the Cambridge Philosophical Society's meeting chaired by the president the Rev. Dr William Clark Henslow read extracts from ten of Darwin's letters from South America with remarks contributed by Adam Sedgwick. Two days later at the Geological Society of London in Somerset House Sedgwick read further extracts and introduced them as a very great mass of information connected with almost every branch of natural history - from which he would for the present occasion confine himself to the geology. The Athenaeum summarised the Geological Society session in its number of 21 November and by Caroline Darwin's transcription of that report Sedgwick had given specific notice of her brother's observations on the tertiary formation of Patagonia & Chili & on the changes of level between land & sea and of the description of the Uspallata Pass with its tertiary and igneous alternations and its veins of true granite gold and other metals. Charles Lyell then serving his first term as President of the Geological Society 1835-1837 was in the audience for this reading; so was Henslow's friend Leonard Jenyns the Cambridgeshire naturalist who had himself been offered and declined the Beagle berth four years earlier. By the time the Beagle docked at Falmouth in early October 1836 Darwin's scientific reputation in Britain had been made in his absence.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Henslow was then thirty-nine a Regius Professor of Botany who had previously held the chair of mineralogy and was in several respects the architect of Cambridge natural science in the 1830s: he had been a founder of the Cambridge Philosophical Society in 1819 had taught the botany course that Darwin took at Christ's College for three years running had conducted the Saturday field excursions at which Darwin had done most of his undergraduate natural-history apprenticeship and had presided over the Friday Evening scientific soirées in his own drawing-room at which Darwin as an undergraduate met Sedgwick Whewell Peacock and the senior figures of the University's scientific community. Darwin himself in the Autobiography of 1876 described the friendship with Henslow as the circumstance that had influenced his whole career more than any other and remembered being called by some of the dons "the man who walks with Henslow." When in August 1831 the Beaufort-Peacock-FitzRoy search for a gentleman naturalist to sail on the Beagle reached Henslow's desk - Peacock writing from Cambridge on behalf of his friend Francis Beaufort Hydrographer of the Navy - Henslow first considered going himself declined on account of his wife and family and having first offered and been declined by Leonard Jenyns wrote the letter of recommendation that determined the rest of Darwin's life.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Darwin sailed from Plymouth on 27 December 1831 as the self-funded naturalist of the Beagle's second survey voyage at a salary of nothing and at the age of twenty-two. Henslow had proposed him for the berth - the best qualified person he knew of - and in the five years following was the recipient of Darwin's scientific letters from the field ten of which survive as the source of the present extracts. The topics the letters ranged over were already those of the later career: the geology of the South American coast from Patagonia to the equator fossil mammals from the pampas the Megatherium bones that Richard Owen would soon describe the gradual uplift of the Chilean shore that Darwin had witnessed directly in the Concepción earthquake of February 1835 the transect across the Andes from Mendoza to the Pacific at which he had found marine shells at twelve thousand feet and petrified trees standing upright through successive sandstones. The emphasis is geological throughout. The South American palaeontology that would drive his incipient evolutionary thinking is present only in outline and the word species does not yet appear as a theoretical term. But the habit of sustained observation under a unifying theory - Charles Lyell's uniformitarian Principles of Geology whose three volumes Darwin had taken with him on the Beagle and whose second volume had reached him at Montevideo in 1832 - is already formed and the pamphlet is the first public trace of its formation.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The immediate precipitating occasion was a field-geological one. Darwin's long letter of April 1835 describing the cross-Cordillera transect at the Puquenas and Portillo passes and the upright petrified trees at Uspallata had reached Henslow at Cambridge in the autumn of 1835 and had been at once seen by Sedgwick to be a finding of the first importance. After the 16 November Cambridge reading and the 18 November Geological Society reading the Council of the Cambridge Philosophical Society resolved on 30 November that the printing of certain extracts from Mr Darwin's correspondence be submitted to Mr Whewell Mr Peacock and Prof. Henslow - William Whewell Fellow of Trinity College who had resigned the chair of mineralogy in 1832 and two years earlier had coined the word scientist George Peacock Fellow and tutor at Trinity who would be appointed Lowndean Professor of Astronomy two years later and Henslow himself. The pamphlet was in press the following day. Its preface dated 1 December 1835 and signed by Henslow explains the occasion and carries a disclaimer that must be read as the botanist's gentle protection of his absent correspondent: the opinions expressed are presented only as first thoughts of a traveller respecting what he sees before he has had time to collate his notes and examine his collections with the attention necessary for scientific accuracy.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Darwin for his part was for some weeks horrified. The first hint of the pamphlet reached him at the Cape of Good Hope on 1 June 1836 in a letter of 29 January from his youngest sister Catherine mentioning in passing the little books with the Extracts from your Letters. He replied from the Cape on 3 June confessing himself "a good deal horrified" by the sentence protesting that he had written to Henslow in the same careless manner as to his own family and that to print what had been written without care or accuracy was to play with edge tools. He could only quote the Spaniard's proverb - no hay remedio there is no remedy. The horror was converted into a different feeling when on the next leg northwards a November 1835 letter from his sister Susan caught up with him at Ascension Island in mid-July with the news that Sedgwick himself had predicted he would have a great name among the naturalists of Europe. Darwin later recalled the effect of reading Sedgwick's estimate on a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic: he had clambered over the mountains of Ascension with a bounding step and made the volcanic rocks resound under his geological hammer.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The reader of the 1835 pamphlet however encounters a Darwin who is still entirely a geologist. His first theoretical book would be a geological one - The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs 1842 developed from the theory he had worked out in the South Pacific of the subsidence that had produced the oceanic atolls; his second and third the geological volumes of the Beagle series 1844 1846 would remain within the Lyellian framework. The transition from the Lyellian geologist of 1835 to the evolutionary biologist of 1859 is the subject of the two decades between the pamphlet and the Origin of Species. The present pamphlet is where that career begins in print and it begins as the career of a field geologist already competent enough for Sedgwick at Cambridge and Lyell in London to take his observations seriously the moment they arrived. The evolutionary Darwin who would reach French readers in Clémence Royer's translation of 1862 German readers in H. G. Bronn's of the same year American readers in Asa Gray's editions from 1860 and eventually Japanese readers in Tachibana SenzaburÅ's of 1896 begins his printed career as the geological Darwin whose Andes transect is the climax of the letters excerpted here.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Its influence in its own year was out of all proportion to its size. It was most consequentially through the pamphlet that Charles Lyell took Darwin seriously as a geologist. Presiding over the Geological Society from the chair at Somerset House on 18 November 1835 Lyell heard Darwin's Chilean and Andean observations as the first empirical vindication of the Principles of Geology from a working field geologist in the Southern Hemisphere: direct observation of ongoing elevation of the land along the Chilean coast of marine shells at twelve thousand feet in the Andes of tertiary formations at altitudes where on the Lyellian account one would expect to find them. Lyell wrote to Henslow early in 1836 asking for every scrap of further Darwin material that came in. When the Beagle finally docked at Falmouth in October 1836 Lyell called on Darwin within a fortnight of his arrival in London. The friendship that followed - Lyell's unreserved support for Darwin's early geological work of 1838-1846 Lyell's reluctant acceptance in 1859 of the argument of the Origin after twenty years of friendly resistance to it Darwin's description of Lyell in the Autobiography as the man to whom he owed more scientifically than any other - begins at this reading of the pamphlet in November 1835.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Henslow for his part sent copies to the Darwin family on Christmas Day 1835 with a note hoping that Darwin would soon be back to take his position among the first Naturalists of the day. Dr Robert Waring Darwin the traveller's father who had had doubts about his son's career in natural history read it through in one sitting. Caroline Darwin wrote to her brother on 29 December: their father "did not move from his seat till he had read every word" had been very much gratified had liked the simple clear way in which the information was conveyed and had particularly admired the frank and unhackneyed manner of his son's writing. He wrote at once to Henslow to thank him observing that his son's letters carried their own natural good-humoured energy. Earlier at the end of November their sister Susan had also forwarded the news that Sedgwick writing to Dr Butler at Shrewsbury had reported that the former schoolboy was doing admirably in South America and would take his place among the naturalists of Europe: a prediction carrying particular weight in a household that had once worried its son might become an idle man. Dr Darwin gave copies of the pamphlet to friends and relatives; Henslow sent six to Samuel Butler headmaster at Shrewsbury where Darwin had been at school; Tom Eyton and William Darwin Fox received further copies. By the end of January 1836 the pamphlet was already circulating well beyond the membership of the Cambridge Philosophical Society for whom it had been produced.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Henslow's selection is quotation not summary. It runs through ten of Darwin's letters from the voyage from 18 May 1832 written at Botafogo near Rio de Janeiro four months after leaving England to 18 April 1835 the long letter from Valparaíso describing the double transect of the Andes. A further letter of 12 August 1835 from Lima was received by Henslow too late for inclusion. The sequence moves from the tropical forests of Brazil through the pampas and Patagonia to Tierra del Fuego and the Falklands; up the Chilean coast; and across the Andes. Embedded in the geology and the zoology are the first printed passages of Darwin as a writer - the observations of the Fuegian Yahgan in contrast to the anglicised Jemmy Button aboard the Beagle; the description at Rio de Janeiro of the young naturalist whose servant Syms Covington had just been taught to skin birds and quadrupeds; the ironic grumble from Montevideo that Alcide d'Orbigny might collect the cream of the good things first; the note again from Montevideo of Juan Manuel de Rosas's war of extermination against the Indians; and everywhere the sustained geological attention that would be elaborated for the next decade in the Beagle geological volumes. It is the voice of the mature Darwin in formation.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>The edition is among the rarest of Darwin items. Freeman states that fewer than one hundred copies were printed and that although it has always been assumed that the pamphlet was issued to members of the Cambridge Philosophical Society in December 1835 he had not seen a copy with a dated ownership inscription or accession stamp for that year; the surviving evidence for a December 1835 issue is a letter from Dr Robert Waring Darwin to Henslow of 28 December 1835. A proof copy with some twenty pencil corrections appeared at Sotheby's on 13 March 1973 lot 404; since then according to American Book Prices Current only four copies have sold at auction the most recent at Christie's New York on 19 June 2014 sale 2861 $221000. One of the recorded auction copies had been presented by Henslow himself to the Ashmolean Natural History Society at Oxford. Institutional holdings are concentrated in Cambridge the Cambridge Philosophical Society's own copy the University Library and Christ's College where Darwin had been an undergraduate with further copies at the British Library the American Philosophical Society and Down House where Darwin's own copy is preserved. A close facsimile was issued by the Cambridge Philosophical Society in 1960 with a new preface by Sydney Smith reproducing the Society's minutes of 16 and 30 November 1835 to mark the centenary of the Origin of Species; that reprint and the original are easily distinguished and cause no confusion.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>References: Freeman 1; Norman 583; Garrison-Morton 8920. Standard scholarly treatment of the pamphlet's production and reception is in Frederick Burkhardt ed.

Wedgewood's father objected to her writing novels so she continued writing literary criticism and articles. One of the latter was published in 1861 on the theological significance of "On the Origin of the Species" to which Darwin responded "You understand my book perfectly". I have examined twenty or so specimen signatures and conclude it is Darwin. Wedgewood’s association and family provenance would be sufficient evidence of authenticity. ~ Darwin was know to be rough on books.
