‎The Descent of Man‎

‎John Murray UK 1871. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket. London: John Murray 1871 1871. 2 volumes octavo. Original green cloth titles to spines gilt sides with panels blocked in blind blue coated endpapers. The covers are in good condition and very secure - both spines have been professionally rebacked. Gilt nice and bright. There is a scuffing to the covers and the corners are a bit bumped but with very little loss - a quite presentable set. The bindings are very tight and square having been repaired strengthened and re-cased. Internally both volumes are very good indeed. The endpapers have been expertly reinforced with matching period paper - something that could well be missed without careful scrutiny. Previous owner name and notes in light pencil to the verso of the half-title which could be easily erased. Some foxing to first and last few leaves of each volume but the text pages are clean and bright throughout with very little foxing that I can see and no previous ink marks. The original adverts are complete and dated January 1871. Cloth very lightly rubbed a lovely set. Engravings throughout. First edition first issue with the errata on the verso of the title leaf of vol. II. Here the word "evolution" appears for the first time in any of Darwin's works preceding its appearance in the sixth edition of The Origin of Species the following year. Darwin had hoped that one of his supporters might tackle the thorny question of human evolution but was forced to face the logic of his own theory himself. Darwin deviated from his ostensible subject of mankind to describe sexual selection in the animal kingdom enabling him to answer those who saw peacock tails as an expression of divine aesthetics. Darwin also set out a definite family tree for humans tracing their affinity with the Old World monkeys and laid out his views on the evolutionary origins of morality and religion. "The Descent understood by Darwin as a sequel to the Origin was written with a maturity and depth of learning that marked Darwin's status as an élite gentleman of science" ODNB. Housed in a custom-made collectors slipcase. Along with Darwins Origin of Species one of the most important books in all of science and thus in all of human knowledge. Quite uncommon in the true first issue. John Murray, UK hardcover‎

‎The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species.‎

‎London: John Murray 1877. Presentation copy inscribed in Darwin's own hand First edition presentation copy inscribed on the title page "With the compliments of the author". The inscription is in Darwin's own hand rather than one of Murray's clerks. Different Forms of Flowers was published in a first edition of 1250 copies on 9 July 1877. There was only a single issue with the publisher's catalogue dated either January or March 1877 here the latter without priority. Darwin explained in his autobiography that "this book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers" Life and Letters I p. 78. Freeman remarks that "had Darwin not chosen such genetically complex examples he might have approached more nearly to an understanding of the laws of particulate inheritance". Regardless it remains a seminal text on plant reproduction adaptation and evolution. It was translated into French and German during Darwin's lifetime followed by four further languages after his death. Octavo. 15 woodcut illustrations and 38 tables within text. Publisher's 32-page catalogue dated March 1877 at rear. Original green cloth spine lettered in gilt decorative bands at ends in gilt covers blocked in blind dark brown coated endpapers Simpson & Renshaw binder's ticket on rear pastedown. Housed in a dark green quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery. Spine ends gently bumped cloth bright binding very discreetly restored and recoloured endpapers slightly faded previous ownership signature on dedication page subsequently erased a handful of neat pencil marks annotation to p. 1 translating the title into French marginal crosses and lines to a few other pp. faint semicircular damp mark running through upper margins of first c.140 pages else the contents notably clean publisher's catalogue lightly foxed towards end: a near-fine copy.

‎London: John Murray 1880. Second Edition. Decorative Cloth. Fine. Second Edition of one of the scarcer Darwin titles one of only 1250 copies with a new preface in which Darwin states that "the text has been left as it originally appeared excepting that a few errors have been corrected." According to Freeman "This is then the definitive text." 8vo: xvi35232advertisementspp with 15 woodcuts in the text and 38 tables. Publisher's standard green pebbled cloth covers paneled in blind spine lettered and decorated in gilt brown end papers. Inserted advertisements may be as late as January 1882 per Freeman. A Fine copy completely unopened. Freeman 1280. Darwin recalled the writing of this title in his autobiography: "This book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers. The results of crossing such flowers in an illegitimate manner I believe to be very important as bearing on the sterility of hybrids; although these results have been noticed by only a few persons."
