All published intended to form 9 vols containing chapters 1-7 and 21." Darwin-Online. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare first translation of Darwin's Descent of Man and the first partial translation of Origin of Species constituting the very first translation of any of Darwin's work into Japanese and arguably being the most influential - albeit in a different way than could be expected - of all Darwin-translations. "The first translation of a book by Darwin was published in 1881: a translation of The Descent of Man titled as Jinsoron On the Ancestors of Man; Darwin 1881. The translator was a scholar of education Kozu Senzaburo . In spite of its title the book was actually a hybrid which included a mixture of chapters of the Descent namely chapters 1-7 and 21 together with other texts: the Historical Sketch that Darwin appended to the third edition of the Origin 1861 and some sections taken from Thomas Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature Kaneko 2000. So this book can also be described as the first publication including a partial translation of a text from the Origin" Taizo Translating "natural selection" in Japanese: from "shizen tota" to "shizen sentaku" and backDarwin's theories had a profound influence on Japan and Japanese culture but in a slightly different way than in the West: Darwinism was marked as social and political principles primarily embraced by social thinkers philosophers and politicians to advocate the superiority of Japanese culture and society and military and not by biologist and zoologist. "It was as if Darwin's famous oceanic journey and the meticulous research into the animal and plant kingdoms that he spent his life undertaking had all been staged as an elaborate excuse for composing a theory whose true object was Victorian society and the fate of the world's modern nations." Golley Darwinism in Japan: The Birth of Ecology.The popularity of Darwin's works and theories became immensly popular in Japan: "Curiously there are more versions of "The Origin" in Japanese than in any other language. The earliest were literary with subsequent translations becoming more scientific as the Japanese developed a technical language for biology." Glick The Comparatice Reception of Darwinism P. XXIIDarwin's work had in Japan - as in the rest of the world - profound influence on the academic disciplines of zoology and biology however in Japan the most immediate influence was not on these subjects but on social thinkers: ". it exerted great influence on Japanese social thinkers and social activists. After learning of Darwin's theory Hiroyuki Kato the first president of Tokyo Imperial University published his New Theory of Human Rights and advocated social evolution theory social Darwinism emphasizing the inevitable struggle for existence in human society. He criticized the burgeoning Freedom and People's right movement. Conversely Siusui Kautoku a socialist and Japanese translator of the Communist Manifesto wrote articles on Darwinism such as "Darwin and Marx" 1904. In this and other articles he criticized kato's theory on Social Darwinism insisting that Darwinism does not contradict socialism. The well known anarchist Sakae Osugi published the third translation of On the Origin of Species in 1914 and later his translation of peter Kropotokin's Mutial Aid: A Factor of Evolution. Osugi spread the idea of mutual aid as the philosophical base of Anarcho-syndicalism." Tsuyoshi The Japanese Lysenkoism and its Historical Backgrounds p. 9 "Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was introduced to Japan in 1877 Morse 1936/1877 during Japan's push to gain military modernity through study of western sciences and technologies and the culture from which they had arisen. In the ensuing decades the theory of evolution was applied as a kind of social scientific tool i.e. social Spencerism or social Darwinism Sakura 1998:341; Unoura 1999. Sakura 1998 suggests that the theory of evolution did not have much biological application in Japan. Instead Japanese applied the idea of 'the survival of the fittest' which was a misreading of Darwin's natural selection theory to society and to individuals in the struggle for existence in Japan's new international circumstances see also Gluck 1985: 13 265.However at least by the second decade of the 1900s and by the time that Imanishi Kinji entered the Kyoto Imperial University the curricula in the natural and earth sciences were largely based on German language sources and later on English language texts. These exposed students to something very different from a social Darwinist approach in these sciences. New sources that allow us to follow" ASQUITH Sources for Imanishi Kinji's views of sociality and evolutionary outcomes p. 1."After 1895 the year of China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese War Spencer's slogan "the survival of the fittest" entered Chinese and Japanese writings as "the superior win the inferior lose." Concerned with evolutionary theory in terms of the survival of China rather than the origin of species Chinese intellectuals saw the issue as a complex problem involving the evolution of institutions ideas and attitudes. Indeed they concluded that the secret source of Western power and the rise of Japan was their mutual belief in modern science and the theory of evolutionary progress. According to Japanese scholars traditional Japanese culture was not congenial to Weastern science because the Japanese view of the relationship between the human world and the divine world was totally different from that of Western philosophers. Japanese philosophers envisioned a harmonious relationship between heaven and earth rather than conflict. Traditionally nature was something to be seen through the eyes of a poet rather than as the passive object of scientific investigations. The traditional Japanese vision of harmony in nature might have been uncongenial to a theory based on natural selection but Darwinism was eagerly adopted by Japanese thinkers who saw it as a scientific retionalization for Japan's intense efforts to become a modernized military and industial power. Whereas European and American scientists and theologians became embroiled in disputes about the evolutionary relationship between humans and other animals Japanese debates about the meaning of Darwinism primarily dealt with the national and international implications of natural selection and the struggle for survival. Late nineteenth-century Japanese commentators were likely to refer to Darwinism as an "eternal and unchangeable natural law" that justified militaristic nationalism directed by supposedly superior elites". Magner A History of the Life Sciences Revised and Expanded p. 349"Between 1877 and 1888 only four works on the subject of biological evolution were published in Japan. During these same eleven years by contrast at least twenty Japanese translations of Herbert Spencer's loosely "Darwinian" social theories made their appearance. The social sciences dominated the subject and when Darwin's original The Origin of Species Seibutsu shigen finally appeared in translation in 1896 it was published by a press specializing in economics. It is not surprising then that by the early 20th century when Darwin's work began to make an impact as a biological rather than a "social" theory the terms "evolution" shinka "the struggle for existence" seizon kyôsô and "survival of the fittest" tekisha seizon had been indelibly marked as social and political principles. It was as if Darwin's famous oceanic journey and the meticulous research into the animal and plant kingdoms that he spent his life undertaking had all been staged as an elaborate excuse for composing a theory whose true object was Victorian society and the fate of the world's modern nations."

Minor blemishes to slipcase embossed owner stamp on half-title page otherwise an excellent copy. 2003 Hard Cover. xxxiv 518 pp. Includes three sections of color and black-and-white reproductions of illustrations maps on endpapers new introduction by Richard Keynes. The Voyage of the Beagle is the title most commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks bringing him considerable fame and respect. This was the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle the other volumes of which were written or edited by the commanders of the ships. Journal and Remarks covers Darwin's part in the second survey expedition of the ship HMS Beagle. Due to the popularity of Darwin's account the publisher reissued it later in 1839 as Darwin's Journal of Researches and the revised second edition published in 1845 used this title. A republication of the book in 1905 introduced the title The Voyage of the "Beagle" by which it is now best known. Beagle sailed from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of Captain Robert FitzRoy. While the expedition was originally planned to last two years it lasted almost five - Beagle did not return until 2 October 1836. Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land three years and three months on land; 18 months at sea. The book is a vivid travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology geology and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring and charting the whole world. Although Darwin revisited some areas during the expedition for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to places and locations rather than by date. Darwin's notes made during the voyage include comments hinting at his changing views on the fixity of species. On his return he wrote the book based on these notes at a time when he was first developing his theories of evolution through common descent and natural selection. The book includes some suggestions of his ideas particularly in the second edition of 1845. The Folio Society hardcover‎

Small 8vo. First American edition of Darwin's important first published book containing the observations and field work that form the basis for On the Origin of Species. "The five years of the voyage were the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science knowing the importance of evidence almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since the creation but had undergone change. The experiences of his five years in the Beagle how he dealt with them and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought" DSB.

It is "one of the most interesting records of natural history exploration ever written and is one of the most important for it was on this voyage that Darwin prepared for his lifework ultimately leading to The Origin of Species" Hill I 104-5. First published in 1839 as "the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle edited by Captain Robert Fitzroy. Since then it has changed its name four times so that today it is universally referred to as The Voyage of the Beagle. 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'. and the spine title is Naturalist's Voyage" Freeman 32.

"The second voyage of HMS Beagle from 27 December 1831 to 2 October 1836 was the second survey expedition of HMS Beagle made under her newest commander Robert FitzRoy. FitzRoy had thought of the advantages of having someone onboard who could investigate geology and sought a naturalist to accompany them as a supernumerary. At the age of 22 the graduate Charles Darwin hoped to see the tropics before becoming a parson and accepted the opportunity. He was greatly influenced by reading Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology the book is dedicated to Lyell during the voyage. By the end of the expedition Darwin had made his name as a geologist and fossil collector and the publication of his journal later known as The Voyage of the Beagle gave him wide renown as a writer." from Wikipedia.
