DARWIN, Charles
On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing.
London: John Murray 1862. In support of natural selection First edition of Darwin's first book following the Origin of Species. This monograph on the structure and function of orchid flowers was "the first of the volumes of supporting evidence" for natural selection Freeman. The print run is estimated at no more than 2000 copies and it is the only Darwin title issued by Murray between 1859 and 1910 not bound in the characteristic green cloth. Orchids is "a methodological masterclass in the scientific use of history showing how homologies between flower parts - these had been elucidated by previous botanists - allow us to model past evolutionary events. Throughout the book Darwin showed how natural selection can create exquisite co-adaptations between plants and animals and in so doing it founded the science of pollination ecology. He was even able to make predictions based on understanding that the extraordinary morphology of orchid flowers is co-adapted to the morphology and behavior of their pollinating species. Orchids was the first of the botanical books which Darwin published from 1862 all of which 'exalted' plants and showed how closely linked to animals they are. It appeared in May 1862 and there were probably only 2000 copies printed. Although highly praised by botanists at the time it never sold well" Freeman the public remaining more interested in the controversy of evolution than the details. Octavo. Folding woodcut plate of the Orchis mascula facing p. 18 33 woodcuts within text. With 32 pp. publisher's advertisements dated September 1871 at rear. Original plum fine diaper-grain cloth Freeman's variant b spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers ornamentally panelled in blind front cover with centrally gilt-stamped orchid motif brown coated endpapers. Cloth entirely unrestored and binding tight and square spine sunned extremities gently rubbed inner hinges tender but holding firm contents clean: a very good copy indeed.

Freeman's variant a with vertically lined cloth and ads dated December 1861.<br /><br />Orchids 'was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence. It was much praised by botanists but sold only about 6000 copies before the turn of the century' Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin p. 112. Darwin wrote to his publisher John Murray in September 1861 that 'I think this little volume will do good to the Origin' Freeman.<br /><br />In his autobiography Darwin stated that though the preparation of Orchids had taken ten months 'most of the facts had been slowly accumulated during several previous years. During the summer of 1839 and I believe during the previous summer I was led to attend to the cross-fertilisation of flowers by the aid of insects from having come to the conclusion in my speculations on the origin of species that crossing played an important part in keeping specific forms constant. I attended to the subject more or less during every subsequent summer. For some years before 1862 I had specially attended to the fertilisation of our British orchids; and it seemed to me the best plan to prepare as complete a treatise on this group of plants as well as I could rather than to utilise the great mass of matter which I had slowly collected with respect to other plants. My resolve proved a wise one; for since the appearance of my book a surprising number of papers and separate works on the fertilisation of all kinds of flowers have appeared; and these are far better done than I could possibly have effected'.<br /> Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin 800.

DARWIN, Charles
On the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are fertilised by Insects and on the Good Effects of Intercrossing
London: John Murray 1862. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Murray 1862 first edition first issue. Octavo vi 366 32 publisher's advertisements pages with 34 wood-engraved illustrations some full-page one a folding plate additional to the pagination. Ribbon-embossed plum cloth blocked in gilt and blind; covers slightly worn at the corner-tips and unevenly sunned on the spine; old repair to a split at the head of the front joint; contemporary library stamps to a dozen pages but see our footnote; front hinge cracked but firm; a few other minor signs of age and handling; a very good copy. The scarce first issue of Darwin's first major work after 'On the Origin of Species' 1859. Its exploration of the mechanisms of pollination offered a persuasive observable demonstration of his theory of natural selection in operation in particular through the coevolution of insects and the sexual structures of the orchids that they fertilise. <p>Although praised by botanists the book did not sell well and in later issues the sheets from the first printing were offered in a variant binding and with advertisements dated as late as 1871. This example is in the first-issue binding and has advertisements dated December 1861. The total edition likely comprised fewer than 2000 copies. <p>This copy has the contemporary blindstamp of the Adelaide bookseller W.C. Rigby to the front free endpaper and flyleaf and the contemporary library stamps of the Gawler Institute attesting to the early importation of Darwin's works into colonial South Australia. The title page has an early manuscript shelf mark in ink the Gawler Institute red inkstamp with the inserted reference number 1947 and a much later blue inkstamp for the Salisbury North High School Library. That this book has survived at all is cause for celebration. <p>Freeman 800 'variant a.'. John Murray hardcover

"Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing.1 Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised and this new idea was explored in detail.The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation." Wikipedia <br/> <br/> John Murray hardcover

On various contrivances by which British & Foreign Orchids are fertilised by insects
London: John Murray 1862. FIRST EDITION. Text illustrations. Original plum cloth with an orchid in gilt on front cover. Covers and spine worn spine a bit shabby chipped at foot. Interior is excellent with a modern presentation signature on front flyleaf. First edition of Darwin's primary work on plant fertilization. Detailing the relationship between the sexual structure of orchids and the insects that fertilize them this was the first of three volumes that followed the publication of the Origin which contained supporting evidence for the author's theory of natural selection. Darwin concludes that plants are equal to animals in the marvels of their adaptation; for example he observes that wind-pollinated flowers have no colours; it is only those insect-pollinated varieties that have bright coloured petals and sweet smelling nectars.

Pela primeira vez em livro ilustrado a complexidade e a beleza da teoria da evolu��o de Darwin Por muito tempo na hist��ria da humanidade acreditava-se que todas as coisas foram criadas de uma s�� vez. Mas tudo mudou quando a ci�ncia come��ou a questionar essa ideia. Em 1859 o bi��logo e naturalista Charles Darwin publicou a primeira edi��o de A origem das espǸcies que viria a se tornar sua obra mais famosa responsǭvel por revolucionar o modo como os seres humanos entendem o desenvolvimento das espǸcies. Por meio de observa����es e experimentos em viagens ao redor do planeta Darwin elencou diversos argumentos para fundamentar a teoria que mudaria o mundo para sempre: a evolu��o. SǸculos depois sua teoria ainda se mostra crucial para compreender o universo dos seres vivos. Por isso a bi��loga e ilustradora Sabina Radeva recriou o trabalho mais importante de Darwin em uma surpreendente edi��o ilustrada que vai encantar crian��as e adultos. De forma divertida acess�vel e acompanhado de belas ilustra����es o livro convida os leitores a mergulhar nas explica����es revolucionǭrias de Darwin sobre como as espǸcies se formam e se transformam ao longo dos mil�nios.

DARWIN, CHARLES
Origem das Espécies. i.e. Portuguese: "Origin of Species". - FIRST PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION OF 'ORIGIN OF SPECIES'.
Oporto Livraria Chardron de Lello y Irmao 1913. 8vo. Partly uncut in the original printed wrappers. Spine cracked and front hindge with repair. Wrappers with a few nicks. Half-title with previous owners names. Internally fine and clean. XVI 477 pp. <br/><br/><em>The first edition in the rarely seen wrappers of the first Portuguese translation of Darwin's "Origin of Species". The comparatively late translation is partly due to the Portuguese 'Frenchism' at the time. The first French translation appeared in 1862 and was also widely circulated in Portugal. It also appears that the translator a doctor and professor who was also a Mason a self-proclaimed poet and the founder of the Spiritist Society of Portugal named Joaquim Marques Dá Mesquita Montenegro Paúl 1875-1946 used the French translation rather than the English original. This apparently led to a number of errors and mis-translations that rendered the work unfaithful to say the least. Unfortunately this translation continued to be reprinted for the rest of the century in the Portuguese speaking world oftentimes by simply changing the name of the translator for a spurious name. The first Brazilian edition in 1973 turned out to be nothing but an exact reproduction of the text of the Portuguese translation. It appears that even in the 21st century many of the purported new translations were still reprints of the first Portuguese edition. A proper translation from the English was made in 1982 but it was apparently condensed from the 6th ed. 1872. In 1985 a complete translation was published but it was based on the first ed. 1859. In 2011 and 2014 finally two different translations were published in Brazil that appear to be more legitimate which as a commentator avers see links below doesn't necessarily guarantee that they are faithful. Thus the Portuguese OSS bibliography remains murky and convoluted to this day and it appears to be a continuing saga. Therefore this late defective first translation seems to have been crucial to the understanding-or misunderstanding- of Darwin's OSS for Portuguese readers for the remainder of the century and then some.The uncertainty regarding the publication year is quite puzzling for a modern book. Freeman online gives three different numbers F743 F743a and F743b the latter being 1961 and 1990 both of which are by the same translator as the first and he gives the date "192-" and 1920 to the first. The entry in the Biblioteca Nacional de España states "1924" and two Brazilian libraries give "1900's" and the rather wide ranging "1910-1992" a Portuguese university library states "1900-80" and the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal says "1900." The year 1925 is given to the only two copies in US libraries the American Philosophical Society and The Huntington. In the links below the commentators assign it to the year 1913 and even though they don't justify that date they seem to be quite familiar with Portuguese OSS editions in general. The date 1913 is also given by Ana Leonor Pereira in "The Reception of Darwin in Portugal 1865-1914" Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia T. 66 Fasc. 3 Evolução Ética e Cultura / Evolution Ethics and Culture 2010 pp. 643-660 which perhaps makes it more plausible As a final note the 1961 translation at the Huntington purportedly by Eduardo Fonseca is one of those spurious reprints with a made up name mentioned earlier. http://catalog.huntington.org/record=b1703473 For a few commentaries on the different editions and on various Portuguese OOS translations and purported translators see:http://observatoriodaimprensa.com.br/armazem-literario/_ed802_lendo_darwin_em_portugues/ andhttp://naogostodeplagio.blogspot.com/2009/10/miseria-pouca-e-bobagem.html Freeman 743 </em> unknown

Perception in the Lower Animals.
London 1873. Small folio. Extracted with traces from the sewn cords in the original printed wrappers. In "Nature" No. 176 Vol. 7 March 13. Entire issue offered. Issue split in two otherwise fine and clean. Housed in a portfolio with white paper title-label to front board. Darwin's notice: P. 360. Entire issue: Pp. 1 lxxxvi-xcii 357-376. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Darwin' comment on Aldred Wallace's suggestion that animals find their way home by recognising the odour of the places which they have passed. In the comment Darwin describes the following anecdote: "Many years ago I was on a mail-coach and as soon as we came to a public-house the coachman pulled up for the fraction of a second. He did so when we came to a second public-house and I then asked him the reason. He pointed to the off-hand wheeler and said that she had been long completely blind and she would stop at every place on the road at which she had before stopped. He had found by experience that less time was wasted by pulling up his team than by trying to drive her past the place for she was contented with a momentary stop. After this I watched her and it was evident that she knew exactly before the coachman began to pull up the other horses every public-house on the road for she had at some time stopped at all. I think there can be little doubt that this mare recognised all these houses by her sense of smell." From the present paper. Freeman 1759 </em> unknown

DARWIN, CHARLES
Priruchennyie zhivotnyie i vozdelannyie rasteniya i.e. Russian "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication". Translated from English with the consent and assistance of the author by V. Kovalevsky. Edited by I. M. Sechenov botanical sect. - THE VERY FIRST PUBLICATION OF DARWIN'S 'VARIATION UNDER DOMESTICATION' IN ANY LANGUAGE.
St. Petersburg 1868 but in fact 1867-1869. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with renewed spine. Inner hindges with repairs and boards with soiling and a few marks and holes to volume 1. Light foxing throughout primarily affecting margins and plates. Overall a good copy. IV 443 1: ill; V.2: 462 I-VI pp. <br/><br/><em>The very first publication of Darwin's 'Variation under Domestication' in any language. The title-page states 1868 but they two volumes were in fact published respectively in November 1867 and 1869."In August 1867 Darwin wrote to Lyell that he was visited by a young Russian "who is translating my new book into Russian.". The book was the 'Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication' and the youngRussian was Vladimir Kovalevsky who subsequently became a well-known evolutionary palaeontologist. At that time the 'Variation' was not yet published and it seems most probably that the translation was made from a set of proofs given to Kovalevsky by Darwin. Thanks to Kovalevsky's rapid work the first section of the Russian translation of the Variation was published several months prior to the publication of the English original." Glick The Comparative Reception of Darwinism p. 235"The first Russian edition which is dated 1868 on the volume title page is of particular interest. It is the only work in his lifetime of which any part appeared in foreign translation before it appeared in English. Correspondence at Cambridge shows that the translator was sent copies of corrected proofs as they were ready. It was published in seven parts of which four perhaps to the end of Chapter XV appeared in 1867; the next two appeared in 1868 and the last not until 1869 because he had been away in Russian Asia. The title is given in full in English translation under No. 925 and has been discussed above" Freeman.Vladimir Kovalevsky 1842-1883 the translator of this book was a Russian biologist and the founder of evolutionary palaeontology. His own scientific works were printed between 1873 and 1877 and according to Henry Osborn Osborn H. The rise of Mammalia in North America // Proc. Amer. Assoc. Sci. 1894. vol. 42 pp. 189-227 they ''dare away'' all traditional and dry European paleontology. That was mainly because Kovalevsky was a devoted Darwinist and adapted Darwin's ideas to palaeontology. Luis Dollo the Belgian palaeontologist a contemporary of Kovalevsky's described him thus: ''No palaeontologist embodies so perfectly our epoch as the brilliant and miserable Vladimir Kovalevsky friend and guest of the immortal Charles Darwin''. Indeed Kovalevsky was a friend of Darwin's and they corresponded extensively. When visiting Darwin in 1877 the Russian botanist Timiryazev asked Darwin about his views on Russian science and Darwin surprised him with an answer that Vladimir Kovalevsky little known at the time was the bright hope of palaeontology.Kovalevsky was very eager to translate Darwin into Russian as soon as possible so he asked Darwin to send him the proofs of his book chapter by chapter as soon as Darwin finished them. Kovalevsky translated with great speed the complete book contains 900 pages and he began to print the chapters from July 1867 the first English edition appeared on 30th January 1868. The chapters were printed one after another as the translation went on. It is unclear whether any part of it appeared before the English edition.Vladimir Kovalevsky translated another of Darwin's books The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals O vyrazhenii emotsyi u cheloveka I zhyvotnikh that appeared the same year as the English edition 1872.Kovalevsky committed suicide at the age of forty after the breakdown of his marriage to the celebrated mathematician Sophia Kovalevskaya who became the first female professor of mathematics in the world.OCLC finds only three complete copies worldwide Cornell American Philosophical Society US and Thomas Fisher Library Canada.

DARWIN, CHARLES
Proiskhozhdenie chelovieska i polovoi podbor i.e. English "Descent of Man". - FIRST TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S 'DESCENT OF MAN' INTO ANY LANGUAGE
S.-Peterburg Izdanie redaktsii zhurnala "Znanie 1871. 8vo. In recent half calf with four rasied bands and gilt lettering to spine. Soiling and damp stain to title-page. Light brownspotting throughout. 2 VII 5 439 7 pp. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare first Russian translation of Darwin's 'Descent of Man' published only four months after the original English. The Russian publisher was eager to have a translation published hence this early abridged edition - two other Russian translations followed later the same year - The present translation being the very first into any language. "The Descent of Man showed that the process of organic evolution propelled by the struggle for existence and natural selection applied to man no less than to the rest of the animal kingdom. It gave explicit recognition to the idea of the anthropoid origin of man. This claim surprised no one for it was clearly hinted at in the great work of 1859 and was elaborated in Thomas Huxley's Man's Place in Nature and Vogt's Lectures on Man. Nor was it much of a surprise when three Russian translations of The Descent appeared within one year after the publication of the English original. Two general ideas represented the essence of The Descent: natural selection is not only behind the physical survival of man but also behind the evolution of cultural values; and the differences between animal and human behavior are differences of degree rather than of kind." Darwin in Russian Thought "The Expression helped lay the foundations for a scientific study of the psychological aspect of the evolution of species. The book appeared in a Russian translation only a few months after the publication of the English original. The paleontologist Vladimir Kovalevskii was the translator and the embryologist Aleksandr Kovalevskii was in charge of editorial tasks. In 1874 Vladimir wrote to Darwin that nearly two thousand copies of the Russian translation were sold." " The Expression deals much more extensively with selected aspects of human and animal behavior than with general problems of evolutionary biology. The Russian reviewers were generally impressed with Darwin's descriptions and categorizations of animal behavior. The Journal of the Ministry of Public Education was unusually profuse in praising the book's content and writing style. The reviewer commended Darwin's impartiality and avoidance of "materialistic trappings." Even the adherents of spiritualism could read the book he wrote without the least discomfort. The reviewer thought that psychologists would benefit from the information the book presented on the "physiological" basis of behavior. Indeed he recommended the book to all readers interested in the scientific foundations of human behavior. The liberal journal Knowledgewas equally laudatory. It noted that the book was eminently successful on two counts: it offered a "rational explanation" of many expressions of human emotions and it integrated the study of animal and human behavior into the universal process of organic evolution. In fact no educated person could afford to ignore it.N. P. Vagner professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at St. Petersburg University called The Expression a book with "great strengths and minor flaws." The volume reminded him of Darwin's previous works which marked "turning points in the history of science." The strength of the book lay much more in its suggestion of new topics for comparative-psychological research than in a presentation of a theoretically and logically integrated system of scientific thought. Insufficient exploration of the physiological underpinnings of mental activities represented the book's major shortcoming" Darwin in Russian Thought 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.Like Strakhov however Dostoevsky acknowledging the significance of the "Origin of Species" 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.'Descent of Man' was transted into Danish Dutch French German Italian Polish Russian and Swedish in Darwin's lifetime.
