‎The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants From the JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY‎

‎London: Longman Green Longman Roberts & Green and Williams and Norgate 1865. 2 118 13 woodcuts to text. 8vo. HB. 8vo 219x140mm recent half calf marbled boards gilt title to spine. Occasional pencil marginalia. Fine copy. Rare first edition offprint issue of Darwin's work on climbing plants. An exceptionally scarce survival in this offprint form seldom encountered on the market. An item for the discerning collector of Darwiniana.The first edition of this work was published on June 12 1865 and occurs in three forms - all from the same setting of type. The first makes up most of a double part Nos 33 and 34 of Vol. 9 of the 'Journal of the Linnean Society of London Botany'. It was also issued simultaneously as an offprint which occurs in two distinct forms. Both have tipped in title leaves which differ in the note on the source of the original and the publisher's imprint. The copy offered here is Freeman's first form 834 with the note on the source of the original given as From the JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY and the imprint the same as that of the part except that it has been reset and there is no comma after Roberts. This is the commercial offprint which was offered for sale by the Linnean Society at 4s. The second form of the offprint is assumed to be the author's offprint of which Freeman had only seen one copy. Freeman Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History 1973 64: 293. The two forms of the offprint also differ in the wrapper this copy is bound without the wrapper.The second edition of this work was later published in book form by John Murray in 1875 and is a revised and enlarged version of this paper.Freeman 834.

‎The origin of species 1891‎

‎by means of natural selection or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life. With portrait. London : John Murray 1891. Two volumes octavo original publisher's gilt-lettered grey-green cloth light corner wear lightly bruised with small tears at head and foot of spine spine lightly sunned original navy blue chalk-surfaced endpapers; Vol. I pp. ii xxvi 366 2 adv. verso blank; portrait frontispiece with tissue-guard folding diagram; Vol. II pp. vi 340; glossary index light foxing to preliminaries. A very good set. A very good copy of the sixth edition of one of the most important texts in the history of science. The first edition of 1859 a great rarity is described in Freeman as "". the most important biological work ever written.""; Dibner "". the most important single work in science.""; Printing & the Mind of Man "". revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the natural order of things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had been finally established and a vast step forward in the uniformity of nature had been taken."" The Sixth Edition was the final edition extensively edited by Darwin and the first edition to drop the word 'ON' from the title and the first edition of the 'Origin' to use the word 'evolution'. The Glossary was compiled by W. S. Dallas at Darwin's request. This two-volume edition the second in this form it having first been issued in 1888 Freeman 422 as the 'Library Edition' is a handsome work with larger type and printed on thicker paper. The title-pages to this set are cancels suggesting it may simply be a re-issue of the 1888 edition and there is no indication of a 'Library Edition' as such however the word 'indigeens' in Chapter IV has been corrected to 'indigenes' and the text is clearly printed from stereos at least in part so the reason for the cancels is somewhat obscure and as such not noted by Freeman. Both of these two-volume issues are very seldom seen on the market presumably being destined for libraries and were probably produced in quite limited numbers this issue having no 'thousand' designation and the original two-volume issue of 1888 sharing the Thirty-third Thousand designation with another one-volume issue having the regular pagination and small type of the one-volume sixth edition.
