II overall a good clean set with important Australian provenance. Darwin's first published and his most widely read book: the account of the most important 19th-century voyage. On this voyage Darwin prepare for his life's work ultimately leading to The Origin of the Species.From the library of Charles Joseph LaTrobe Superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales from 1839 to 1851 and from 1st July 1851 until his departure three years later the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of Victoria; with his distinctive signature to all three volumes. An evangelical Christian his father was a leader of the Moravian Church LaTrobe spent fifteen years in the Australian colonies leaving in 1854 a disillusioned and dispirited man. His time in office coincided with a period of tremendous expansion with major infrastructure projects roads and sanitation being a priority however much of central Melbourne's green landscape can be put down to LaTrobe's foresight in preserving this land as open space. On his arrival in Port Phillip LaTrobe's first speech put him at odds with the settlers of the District. These pioneers were looking to better their lot expecting grants of land which would lead to the dispossession of the aboriginal peoples yet LaTrobe spoke of different priorities: 'It is not by individual aggrandisement by the possession of numerous flocks or herds or by costly acres that the people shall secure for the country enduring prosperity and happiness but by the acquisition and maintenance of sound religious and moral institutions without which no country can become truly great'. This clash of ideas was highlighted by Darwin in his Journal of The Voyages of HMS Beagle published a few months before LaTrobe made his speech. In it Darwin observed that in 'the wide extent of the Americas Polynesia the Cape of Good Hope and Australia' the native populations were being suppressed. 'The varieties of man' he noted 'seem to act on each other in the same way as different species of animals the stronger always extirpating the weaker.' This theory of the survival of the fittest became the justification for many colonists in the removal of indigenous peoples from their native land. Darwin was given the third volume The Voyages of HMS Beagle writing 'I am to have the third volume in which I intend giving a kind of journal of a naturalist not following however always the order of time but rather the order of position' The first volume contains King's account of the expedition in the Adventure made between 1826 and 1830 which surveyed the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego; and the second and its appendix volume describes the narrative of the Beagle's second voyage under Capt. Fitzroy made between 1831 and 1836 to South America the Galapagos Islands Tahiti New Zealand Australia and other islands and countries. '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 . and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought' DSB. First Edition. Hardback. Good. 4to.

‎Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle‎

‎London: Henry Colburn 1839. From the Wedgwood family library First edition association copy with the inscription "Wedgwood Maer" faintly pencilled on the half-title of Darwin's volume itself the first issue of his first published book. The prominent Wedgwood family were relatives; he frequently visited their Staffordshire home Maer Hall and consulted them about the publication of his account of the Beagle's voyage. The Darwin and Wedgwood families became intertwined in the 18th century linked by friendships business dealings and a number of first- and second-cousin marriages. Charles's grandfathers were the renowned pottery entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood and the physician Erasmus Darwin and Charles himself married his cousin Emma Wedgwood in 1839. He corresponded with several members of the Wedgwood family about the publication of his volume the Journal and Remarks now popularly known as The Voyage of the Beagle and invited them to read the manuscript notebook of his travels upon which the work was based. Fanny and Hensleigh Wedgwood were specifically asked to provide feedback which the latter gave in a letter dated 20 December 1836 describing it as a "very interesting journal" Darwin Correspondence Project. Darwin also discussed the possibility of his account being accompanied by that of Fitzroy with his sister Caroline Wedgwood. At the time of publication Maer Hall was owned by Josiah Wedgwood II and the rector of Maer parish church was John Allen Wedgwood. We have been unable to attribute the inscription to any one individual member of the family. Maer Hall was sold in 1843 suggesting that this copy was incorporated into the Wedgwood library before this date. These four volumes on the voyages of HMS Adventure and Beagle including Darwin's Journal and Remarks are "famous as the genesis of his theory of evolutionary biology" Hill. Darwin's volume is an outstanding account of natural history exploration describing the fieldwork that ultimately led to the publication of On the Origin of Species 1859. As Freeman notes of Darwin's books this "is undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to On the Origin of Species as the most often printed" p. 31. Darwin himself would state that "the voyage of the 'Beagle' has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career. I have always felt that I owe to the voyage the first real training or education of my mind; I was led to attend closely to several branches of natural history and thus my powers of observation were improved" Life and Letters I p. 61. The Journal and Remarks was printed before the end of January 1839 the month Darwin was elected to the Royal Society and so his name appears without the letters "F.R.S." on the second title. Volume I contains Phillip Parker King's account of the expedition on the Adventure made between 1826 and 1830 surveying the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. In Volume II and its appendix bound separately as issued Captain FitzRoy describes the Beagle's second voyage between 1831 and 1836 to South America the Galapagos Islands Tahiti New Zealand and Australia and other countries. Volume III is Darwin's account of his time aboard the Beagle. The popularity of the latter exceeded its companion volumes leading to Colburn bringing out a separate edition in the same year. 3 vols in 4 vols I-III and appendix to vol. II octavo 225 x 142 mm. With 47 engraved plates after P. King A. Earle C. Martens R. Fitzroy and others by T. Landseer S. Bull T. Prior and others 9 folding engraved maps by J. Gardner and J. and C.

‎O Proischozhdenii Vodov. Russian: On the Origin of Species. Perevel c anglijskago translated from English by S.A. Rachinsky. - "THE MOST IMPORTANT BIOLOGICAL BOOK EVER WRITTEN" FREEMAN‎

‎S.-Peterburg 1864. 8vo. Bound in a beautiful half calf recent pastiche-binding with marbled papers over boards and elegant gilding to spine. End-papers renewed. Stamp to half-title title-page and first leaf of text. First leaves evenly browned and dampstain to outer margin affecting last 50 ff. A few occassional brownspots throughout. XIV 399 1 pp. 1 plate with genealogical tree between pp. 92/93. <br/><br/><em>First edition of the first Russian translation of Darwin's "Origin of Species" a main reason for the widespread effect of Darwinism in Russia where the theory met less resistance in the 1860'ies than it did in Western Europe. In Russia Darwinism had a profound influence not only upon the different sciences but also on philosophy economic and political thought and the great literature of the period. For instance both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky referenced Darwin in their most important works as did numerous other thinkers of the period."In 1864 S.A. Rachinsky professor of plant physiology at St. Petersburg University produced the first Russian translation of the "Origin". Although not a masterpiece of translation art the book sold out so quickly that in 1865 it went through a second printing. By this time Darwin's ideas were discussed not only by scientists but also by such popular writers as Dmitri Pisarev and M. A. Antinovich." Glick p. 232. Rachinsky began translating the "Origin" in 1862 and wrote an important article on the theories presented in it while working on the translation. This article and the translation of the "Origin" into Russian were responsible for the great success and rapid widespread knowledge of Darwinian theory of evolution in Russia. "Darwin was concerned that the "Origin of Species" reach naturalists across the world but translations of that complicated work raised problems for Darwin. If he found it difficult to make the reader "understand what is meant" in England and America at least in those two countries he and the reader were discussing the "Origin of Species" in the same language. Foreign language editions raised not only the thorny question of translating Darwinian terms but also the problem of translators who often thought it proper to annotate their editions to explain the "significance" of Darwinism. The first Russian translation of the "Origin of Species" 1864 appeared however without any comment whatever by the translator Sergei A. Rachinsky professor of botany at the University of Moscow. Rachinsky had begun the translation in 1862 and published an article on Darwinism while continuing work on the translation in 1863." Rogers p. 485. In the year of publication of the translation 1864 Pisarev wrote a long article in "The Russian Word" which purports to be a review of this translation; the critic complains about the absence of notes and commentaries by the translator. Pisarev furthermore points to several errors in the translation and to numerous infelicities of expression. Acknowledging the importance of the work however and of the spreading of Darwinism in Russia he goes on in his own essay to provide a much more popular account of Darwin's theory and to impress upon his readers its revolutionary significance.Nikolai Strakhov also reviewed the translation immediately upon publication acknowledging the effect it would have. Strakhov however recognized potential dangers inherent in the theory and expressed them in his review of Rachinsky's translation. He praised the work for its thoroughness and rejoiced in the evidence that man constituted the highest stage of organic development; but then he went on to argue that by moving into questions of philosophy and theology the Darwinists were exceeding the limits of scientific evidence. Like Pisarev Tolstoy enthusiastically embraced Darwinism. "The first mention of Darwin in Tolstoy's literary "Nachlass" is found in one of the drafts to "War and Peace". There Darwin is listed apparently quite favorably among leading thinkers "working toward new truth" . Thus by the late 1860's the name of Darwin as a leading scientist was already familiar to Tolstoy and duly respected." McLean p. 160. A fact which is often overlooked is that Tolstoy actually knew Rachinsky quite well. Interestingly it was in a letter to Rachinsky in reply to a question about the structure of "Anna Karenina" that Tolstoy made the famous statement that all Tolstoy scholars and lovers know by heart: "I am proud of the architecture - the arches are joined in such a way that you cannot discover where the keystone is". Like Strakhov however Dostoevsky acknowledging the significance of the "Origin" saw the dangers of the theory. In the same year as the publication of Rachinsky's translation he lets the narrator in "Notes from Underground" 1864 launch his attack on Darwinism beginning: "As soon as they prove you for instance that you are descended from a monkey then it's no use scowling you just have to accept it."In "Crime and Punishment" two years later 1866 the Darwinian overtones inherent in Raskolnikov's theory of the extraordinary man are unmistakable. He describes the mechanism of "natural selection" where according to the laws of nature by the crossing of races and types a "genius" would eventually emerge. In general Darwinian themes and Darwin's name occur in many contexts in a large number of Dostoevsky's works.Freeman 748.

‎London Richard and John E. Taylor 1839. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." 1839 Part I. Pp. 39-81 and 2 plates. 1 engraved map and 1 lithographed plate. Both plates with a few brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Darwin's investigations of the geological phenomenon of the so-called "Parallel Roads" in Scotland."The first published description of the Parallel Roads was by Thomas Pennant in 1771 in his book A Tour of Scotland. This work was far from scientific but during the 19th century Glen Roy played an important role in the development of geological and geomophological theories of landscape evolution.1 Initially the 'Roads' were believed to be lake or marine shorelines. How they were formed in an area that was now high above the sea and without signs of a closed lake bed was a mystery. Initially it was thought that the shorelines were of marine origin and formed during a period when the sea reached levels of the Parallel Roads. Among the proponent of this theory were both Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell.2 It was in particular Darwin who was impressed by the geology of Glen Roy. In 1838 he wrote to Lyell "I wandered the mountains in All directions and examined that most extraordinary district. I think without any exceptions not even the first volcanic island the first elevated beach or the passage of the Cordillera as so interesting to me as this week. It is far the most remarkable area I ever examined. . I can assure you Glen Roy has astonished me".3 Darwin and Lyell proved to be wrong in this matter." Jan Oosthoek. Freeman 1653. </em> unknown‎

Darwinism was strongly opposed in Sweden where the primary reaction to the work came from religious institutions that were outraged and fiercely fought against spreading the ideas presented in "origin" in their country. The second Scandinavian translation to appear was the Danish which was translated in 1872 by the then young botanist J. P. Jacobsen who was soon to become one f Scandinavia's most celebrated and influential authors. He received world-wide fame as the author of "Marie Grubbe" and "Niels Lyhne" which founded literary naturalism in Europe. "In the early 1870's however he was still dedicated to science. In 1873 he received the University of Copenhagen's Gold Medal for his work on desmids single-celled green freshwater algae. The Descent of Man was also translated by Jacobsen and appeared in 1874-75."Darwin's ideas found great resonance in scientific circles in Denmark and his ideas were immediately recognized. "In the early 1870s With the Danish translation the literary critic Georg Brandes started promoting Darwin's ideas as part of his liberal ideology and soon Darwinism became the mark of a new generation of intellectuals. Both the Steenstrup circle and the Brandes circle held Darwin in high esteem but made completely different attributions to his theory. Consequently they both decided to raise money separately for the same Darwin. Darwin had borrowed the collection of barnacles from the Zoology Museum in Copenhagen with the help of Steenstrup. As a compliment Darwin sent him a signed copy of the Origin. Steenstrup acknowledged Darwin as an important fellow naturalist but like many of his colleagues at the University of Copenhagen he never accepted evolutionary theory. The initial scientific reaction to Darwin's work on evolution by means of natural selection was respectful but made few converts. memorial in 1882. Independently Darwinism transformed as it became part of popular culture. " Kjærsgaard Darwinism comes to Denmark.The Norwegian translation was the last of the three to appear but it is quite scarce and very difficult to come by. It was published by businessman and publisher Johan Sørensen 1830-1918 as a part of 'Bibliothek for de tusen hjem' Library for Every Home."The first volume came out at the end of 1889 in five parts and a total of 379 pages. Each part cost 30 øre making a total price of 1 kroner 50 øre. The following year 1890 the second volume appeared and this consisted of four parts totaling 383 pages and cost 1 kroner 20 øre.
