DARWIN, Charles
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
London: John Murray 1860. The most influential scientific work of the 19th century Second edition of "the most important biological book ever written" Freeman the issue dated 1860 on the title page. The second edition includes a few authorial changes responding to criticism of certain claims made in the first. This is a bright and fresh copy. The second edition largely reprints the text of the first edition of 1859. Among the changes the misprint "speceies" is corrected while the "whale-bear" story speculating that a bear scooping insects from the water may evolve into a whale-like creature is heavily diluted. The hypothesis was seen as absurd at the time and was seized upon by Darwin's critics to ridicule both the scientist and his evolutionary theory; Charles Lyell advised him to remove it entirely. "This story is not found again in any printing except in the American editions of 1860 until the end of copyright" Freeman p. 78. All copies of the second edition save for a handful dated 1859 are marked "fifth thousand" on the title page; the edition is not otherwise indicated as the second. The issue dated 1860 - the form in which the second edition is almost always seen - was published on 7 January 1860 in a print run of 3000 copies. Octavo in 12s. Folding diagram facing p. 117. With 32 pp. of publisher's advertisements dated January 1860 at rear. Original green diagonal-wave-grain cloth spine lettered ruled and decorated in gilt covers blocked in blind Freeman's variant a light brown coated endpapers binder's ticket of Edmonds & Remnants on rear pastedown. Housed in custom modern green solander box. With 1860 ownership signature of Dr R. H. H. Sankey 1831-1921 an Oxford physician and philatelist to front pastedown 20th-century pencil inscription "I. H. Taylor 12 Southdale Road Oxford" to half-title. Cloth and gilt bright light bumping and wear to extremities minor cockling to rear cover small mark to centre of spine inner hinges split but holding firm short closed tears to half-title and title page edges contents clean bar a few brown spots: a very good unrestored copy.

DARWIN, Charles
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
London: John Murray 1859. Ushering in a new era of thought about the nature of man First edition of "the most influential scientific work of the 19th century" Horblit and "certainly the most important biological book ever written" Freeman. The initial 1250 copies of Darwin's magnum opus prompted an intellectual revolution comparable to that of Newton or Copernicus. While recognizable theories of evolution had been developing since at least the mid-1750s the Origin introduces the critical mechanism of natural selection to explain the direction of the process. When married with Mendelian genetics natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary theory: "every modern discussion of man's future the population explosion the struggle for existence the purpose of man and the universe and man's place in nature rests on Darwin" Mayr pp. vii-xxviii. Octavo 187 x 114 mm. Folding diagram lithographed by W. West. Bound with half-title and without publisher's advertisements as often. Near-contemporary green half calf spine and covers decorated in gilt spine with dark red calf label marbled sides endpapers and edges. Housed in custom green half morocco cloth box. Ornithological bookplate of the zoologist Brunsdon Yapp 1909-1990 author of a study of bird illustrations in medieval texts. Infrequent 20th-century pencil annotations to margins. Light wear faint ghosting to front endpapers minor browning and foxing to contents short closed tears to upper margin of O10 and S2 the latter touching text and short split to fold of diagram: a very good copy. Dibner 199; Freeman 373; Garrison-Morton 220; Grolier/Horblit 23b; Norman 593; Printing and the Mind of Man 344b. Ernst Mayr introduction to the Harvard University facsimile edition 1964. hardcover

This edition "was extensively altered and is of interest for the addition of a table of differences between it and the second edition a table which occurs in each subsequent edition and also for the addition of the historical sketch.

During this five-year voyage Darwin and the <em>Beagle</em> visited the Galapagos Islands Brazil Argentina Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru Tahiti Australia New Zealand and other islands and countries finally returning to England by sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. Darwin observed "It appears to me that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist than a journey in distant countries."</p><p>The voyage of the <em>Beagle </em>was "the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science.

During this five-year voyage Darwin and the <em>Beagle</em> visited the Galapagos Islands Brazil Argentina Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru Tahiti Australia New Zealand and other islands and countries finally returning to England by sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. Darwin observed "It appears to me that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist than a journey in distant countries."</p><p>The voyage of the <em>Beagle </em>was "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 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.</p><p>Over the coming thirty years Darwin refined the ideas that had germinated aboard the <em>Beagle </em>and finally published them in <em>On the Origin of Species</em>. Darwin concluded his book "There is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst this plan has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved."</p><p><strong>Darwin's ideas about evolution and natural selection are the underpinnings of modern biological science. Moreover they have given us a new way of viewing and talking about the world. </strong>"Darwin not only not only drew an entirely new picture of the workings of organic nature; he revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the order of natural things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had finally been established" Printing and the Mind of Man 344b.</p><p>Provenance: contemporary inscription "Adamson The Towers Didsbury."

DARWIN, Charles
On the origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life
New York: Appleton and Company 1871. 447pp 9. With a folding table. Original publisher's printed brown cloth boards tooled and lettered in gilt to spine. Lightly rubbed and marked with chipping to head and foot of spine edges of boards slightly toned spine dulled. Leaves lightly browned occasional light spotting. The fifth edition with additions and corrections of Charles Darwin's 1809-1882 seminal work. Considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology The Origin of Species introduces the theory of natural selection which states that species populations alter and diversify over generations - branching out from a shared common ancestor. 1871 proved a vexing year for Darwin as he received persistent criticism from zoologist St George Jackson Mivart who in his Genesis of Species 1871 accused Darwin among other allegations of being 'Dogmatic' in his assertions. In response Darwin who struggled to remain even- tempered in conversations with his rival gathered a selection of material to refute Mivart's claims; the revised sixth edition of the Origin of Species published the following year contained supporting research from Alexander Agassiz Abraham Dee Bartlett Albert Günther George Busk T. H. Huxley Osbert Salvin and William Henry. Freeman F390b. Fifth edition with additions and corrections. 8vo. Appleton and Company hardcover

DARWIN, Charles
On the origin of species by means of natural selection
London: John Murray 1860. The most influential scientific work of the 19th century Second edition the usual issue correctly dated 1860 on the title page of "the most influential scientific work of the 19th century" Horblit and "certainly the most important biological book ever written" Freeman. Darwin's Origin was first published in 1859. The second edition substantially reprinted the text of the first edition with a few authorial changes ranging from correction of the misprint "speceies" to the notable dilution of Darwin's "whale-bear" story where he speculated that a bear scooping insects from the water may evolve into a whale-like creature. The hypothesis was seen as absurd at the time and was seized upon by Darwin's critics to ridicule and criticise both the scientist and his evolutionary theory; Charles Lyell advised him to remove it entirely. "This story is not found again in any printing except in the American editions of 1860 until the end of copyright" Freeman. All copies of the second edition save for those few dated 1859 are marked "fifth thousand" on the title page noting the total issue of copies from the first edition onwards; the edition is not otherwise noted as the second edition. It was published in the form in which it is typically seen on 7 January 1860 in a print run of 3000 copies. Octavo signed and sewn in 12s. Original green diagonal-wave-grain cloth spine lettered in gilt covers blocked in blind Freeman's variant a no priority light brown coated endpapers fore edge untrimmed Edmonds & Remnants binder's ticket on rear pastedown. Folding diagram facing p. 117. 32 pp. publisher's advertisements dated January 1860 at rear. Contemporary Australian gift inscription on half-title "William C. Windeyer from Kate and Lottie. December 5th 1860": Sir William Charles Windeyer 1834-1897 was a New South Wales politician and judge. Spine ends and corners bumped extremities lightly worn cloth bright and unmarked expertly recased contents browned and foxed in places: a very good copy. Freeman 376. See Horblit 23b first edition. hardcover
