‎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. Darwin's Origin was published in 1859. The second edition largely reprinted the text of the first with a few authorial changes ranging from correcting the misprint "speceies" to diluting 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 criticize 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.

‎DARWIN, Charles‎

‎On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection‎

‎London: John Murray 1859. Presented to his botanical counterpart in France who prefigured Darwin's theory of adaptation First edition presentation copy inscribed on the front free endpaper in a secretarial hand "Dr Weddell Bagnères de Bigorre from the author". This is a premier copy: Weddell is one of the earliest named recipients on Darwin's list of presentation copies. Darwin and Weddell who had comparable experience as scientists aboard major expeditions to South America exchanged findings plant specimens and presentation copies throughout their careers. Though born in England Hugh Algernon Weddell 1819-1877 was raised in France and qualified as a physician there in 1841. He joined the Castelnau scientific expedition to South America the following year aged 23 before leaving in 1845 to concentrate on his own plant collecting in the Andes. He returned to France in 1848 having discovered coca and cinchona among other plants and collected over 5000 specimens. These travels and a later trip to Bolivia established him as a specialist in South American flora. He served as an assistant naturalist at the Muséum d'histoire naturelle in Paris from 1850 to 1857 before settling in Bagnères-de-Bigorre and later in Poitiers. Histoire naturelle des quinquinas ou monographie du genre 1849 the two-volume Chloris Andina 1855-57 and Monographie de la famille des Urticés 1856 are among his most noted publications. "Weddell was the first to demonstrate scientifically the medical importance of coca. as well as the dangers attached to its misuse. His work contributed to the cultivation of cinchona in the Dutch East Indies and other tropical regions and earned him the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 1855 a rare distinction for a foreigner. His observations on the fossils of Tarija in Bolivia and on the different varieties of cinchona led him to elaborate between 1850 and 1860 a theory of adaptation that anticipated Darwin at least in France" Natural History Museum. In 1858 Darwin and Hooker consulted the new data in Weddell's 1856 monograph to calculate the number of species and varieties in large and small genera. Weddell sent Darwin a copy of his paper on the Cynomorium plant in 1860 and two years later Darwin responded in kind by gifting Weddell a copy of Orchids on page 19 of which he cites Weddell's work on the "naturally produced" hybrids of Aceras. Weddell is also included on Darwin's presentation list for "Two forms in species of Linum" 1863 which prompted a written correspondence on pollination mechanisms. In his letter of 13 May 1863 DCP-LETT-4161 Weddell apologizes to Darwin for being unable to find the requested samples of Ophrys apifera bee orchids in his local area: "If at any future period I am more lucky I shall not fail to observe a sufficient number of them as respects their manner of fertilisation and make you acquainted with the results". The final exchange between Darwin and Weddell concerned membership of the Académie des Sciences. Darwin applied twice to become a corresponding member of its botanical section but it was not until after Weddell's death that the Académie offered the newly vacant place to him DCP-LETT-11640A. Darwin drafted his list of recipients of presentation copies of the Origin between August and October 1859. Weddell appears on the first page of the list as "Dr. Weddell Bagneres de Bigorres Haute Pyrenees" Correspondence Vol. 8 p. 555. "There are no known author's presentation copies of the first edition inscribed in Darwin's hand" Norman. Subsequent provenance: Louis Devergne likely the archpriest 1891-1941 at Loudon some 40 miles from Poitiers where Weddell died his neat ink ownership inscription on front free endpaper; private French collector.

The historical approach to nature was rejected not only by the opponents of evolution but also by the idealist evolutionist.

In the timeless real of idealist thinking unchanging laws worked out an inevitable destiny. But Darwin taught his followers to look at living beings one by one.

Darwin's landmark work on evolution and natural selection. Darwin consolidated a lifetime of work in On the Origin of Species compiling his discoveries from the voyage of the Beagle his experiments research and correspondence. He argues for the transmutation of species over time by the process of natural selection. His work laid the foundation of evolutionary biology though when it was published it caused tremendous religious and philosophical debates. Darwin's work is still seen by many people to oppose Christian beliefs. The Folio Society hardcover‎
