IX 1 435 pp. <br/><br/><em>The rare first Dutch translation of Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man published the year after the original. The Expression of the Emotions "is an important member of the evolutionary set and it was written in part at least as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment." Freeman p. 142. Darwin concluded that "the chief expressive actions exhibited by man and by the lower animals are now innate or inherited."Freeman 1182. </em> hardcover

Small ownership labels of the Lowther Collection. Nice set. CONTAINING THE FIRST PUBLICATIONS OF CHARLES DARWIN. The full edition was issued in 12 volumes. "While at the University of Cambridge the student Charles Darwin became an enthusiastic insect collector. He sent Stephens records of the rarer insects he had captured and was delighted when Illustrations of British entomology gave him credit for capturing insects described in 33 entries quoting his words in all but two of the cases. Darwin recalled in his autobiography "No poet ever felt more delight at seeing his first poem published than I did at seeing in Stephen's Illustrations of British Insects the magic words 'captured by C. Darwin Esq.'" though the closest wording as published actually appeared slightly differently as "captured by the Rev. F. W. Hope and C. Darwin Esq. in North Wales" and "Taken in North Wales by C. Darwin Esq." – Wikip. / The exquisite plates are colored by hand after drawings by Charles M. Curtis 1795-1839 and John Obadiah Westwood 1905-1893 who was among the first entomologists with an academic position at Oxford University. Although he worked on insect classification and diversity for more than sixty years from the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species he never accepted the ideas on evolution. / James Francis Stephens was an English entomologist and naturalist. He was elected fellow of the Linnean Society on 17 February 1815 and of the Zoological Society of London in 1826. From 1815 to 1825 he took a great interest in ornithology and contributed to the work of George Shaw 1751-1813. He was granted leave from office to assist William Elford Leach in 1818 to arrange the insect collection at the British Museum and eventually described as many as 2800 British insect species. In 1833 he was founder of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London. Stephens made a large insect collection that included many specimens. After his death the insect collection was purchased by the British Museum. PROVENANCE: Bruce Lowther 1926-1999 Collection c/o J.T. Barnes 503 Royal Trust Building Victoria B.C. Lowther was a journalist broadcaster author and historian with a particular interest in British Columbia labor history. From 1954-76 he worked as a reporter and columnist for the Victoria Daily Colonist. His collection of books was donated to the Saanich Archives Saanich British Columbia.

Important letter to Sir John Harmer on Carnivorous Beetles
<p>Autograph letter signed concerning carnivorous beetles. Down Beckenham Kent 13th September 1881 8vo 205 x 131mm horizontal mailing folds 1pp. in fine condition signed "Charles Darwin"; with retained copy of Harmer's letter to Darwin Wick near Arundel 1881 8vo 205 x 130mm horizontal mailing folds weak at folds.</p><p>A fine unpublished letter to John Harmer thanking him for his account of a beetle attacking a six-inch worm and for the beetle itself which Harmer had enclosed.</p><p>Harmer had captured the beetle in Arundel Park in Sussex after witnessing the beetle attack the worm he writes "not having noticed any thing of the kind before I carried him home to satisfy myself whether such was his food or whether his appetite would be affected by captivity. He has since disposed of the fluids of two more which he cuts up in a very business like manner." Harmer fed it more worms then sent it to Darwin in case there was "an element of interest in the circumstance".</p><p>Darwin's response reads "I am much obliged for your kindness. I had read that beetles attacked worms but did not know how far this was authentic. The beetle sent is Carabus Violaceus; & the genus may be considered as the tiger of the insect world."</p><p>The posthumous revised edition of <em>"The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms"</em> 1882 notes that "the larger species of Carabus and Staphylinus… attack… worms ferociously". This observation is absent from the first edition of 1881 so it seems Harmer's efforts were put to good use.</p><p>Not in the Darwin Correspondence Project but Harmer's letter to Darwin is DCP-LETT-13332.</p>

DARWIN, Charles
Insectivorous Plants.
London: John Murray 1875. A meticulous study of botanical evolution First edition first issue in particularly fresh condition. Darwin consulted leading physiologists and chemists in this experimental work to show that carnivorous plants adapted to trap and digest insects enabling them to survive in poor soil. Two of the woodcuts figures 7 and 8 are after drawings by Darwin himself while several are after drawings by his sons George and Francis. Darwin started researching insectivorous plants in 1860 after observing a sundew while resting in Sussex. "During subsequent years whenever I had leisure I pursued my experiments and my book on 'Insectivorous Plants' was published in July 1875 - that is sixteen years after my first observations. The delay in this case as with all my other books has been a great advantage to me; for a man after a long interval can criticise his own work almost as well as if it were that of another person. The fact that a plant should secrete when properly excited a fluid containing an acid and ferment closely analogous to the digestive fluid of an animal was certainly a remarkable discovery" van Wyhe. The finished book discussed the whole range of such plants their adaptations and evolutionary relationships and their specialized digestive processes. Octavo. Woodcuts in text. Original green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind brown coated endpapers. Bookplate of Henry Wade Deacon 1852-1932 son of chemist and industrialist Henry Deacon; contemporary bookseller's ticket of G. G. Walmsley Liverpool to front pastedown. Cloth bright and unmarked extremities lightly rubbed rear inner hinge starting but holding firm majority of gatherings unopened endleaves foxed: a near-fine copy. Freeman 1217; Norman 601.

Darwin, Charles
Insectivorous Plants.
London: John Murray 1875. First edition of this classic work by Darwin. Octavo original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine woodcut illustrations by Darwin and his sons George and Francis Darwin. In very good condition. Bookplate and Henry Southeran's bookseller ticket to the pastedown. Darwin states in the opening pages to this comprehensive account: "During the summer of 1860 I was surprised by finding how large a number of insects were caught by the leaves of the common sun-dew Drosera rotundifolia on a heath in Sussex. I had heard that insects were thus caught but knew nothing further on the subject." The book chronicles Darwin's experiments with various carnivorous plants in which he carefully studied their feeding mechanisms Darwin tried several methods to stimulate the plants into activating their trap mechanisms including feeding them meat and glass blowing on them and prodding them with hair. He found that only the movement of an animal would cause the plants to react and concluded that this was an evolutionary adaptation to conserve energy for prey and to ignore stimuli that were not likely to be nutritious. He also discovered that while some plants have distinct trap-like structures others produce sticky fluids to ensnare their prey and concluded that this was an example of natural selection pressure resulting in various methods for food capture.
