Darwin, Charles
THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES
London: John Murray 1892. Very good plus. Sixth edition "forty-third thousand" overall - and the first to use the term "evolution" to describe the mechanism of natural selection that Darwin introduced in the book. "Evolution" - the word now most associated with THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES - was not used to describe natural selection in the publication until the sixth edition. By then Darwin was well aware that he had a phenomenon on his hands with the title - it was time to widen his audience. The 6th edition was purposefully set in smaller type slimming the book's profile and making it more affordable "I have been told on authority which I can trust that . workmen club together to buy the Origin" Darwin noted of previous editions in correspondence in 1871. It also contains a glossary for the first time making the text more accessible to a non-specialist audience. <br /> <br /> Appropriately this copy was once owned by James G. Mead whale biologist and longtime curator of marine mammals at the Smithsonian. Mead is a particular proponent of the anatomical study of marine mammals a method of examination that Darwin also favored; THE NEW YORK TIMES notes that Mead's use of this technique "has given scientists a detailed look at species that often can be observed only fleetingly in the wild." <br /> <br /> A notable edition of an iconic work. 7.5'' x 5''. Publisher's green cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Floral patterned endpapers of the John Murray monogram. xxii 432 pages including index; folds from page 185 on are unopened. Small owner name to front flyleaf "J. G. Mead" dated Feb. 1972. Small owner name to title page "Jas Probert" dated July 1893. Binding with faint spotting to edges light bumping to corners and spine ends. Light foxing to endpapers. Interior clean. John Murray unknown

The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection Or The Preservation Of Favoured Races In The Struggle For Life
London: John Murray 1872. Sixth Edition Twelfth Thousand. Generally regarded as the last edition the sixth was extensively revised and included a new chapter VII inserted to refute the views of the Roman Catholic biologist St. George Mivart and a glossary compiled by W.S.Dallas. The title was changed to The Origin of Species and the word evolution in this text for the first time. Prepared under the advice of Lyell and Hooker this was Darwins greatest work and one of the most important books ever published
The evidence for the existence of evolution and that it resulted from the survival of the fittest by natural selection is marshaled and set out as never before. Garrison considered this the most wonderful piece of synthesis in the history of science. Darwins influence on biology was fundamental its full implications being by no means yet exhausted.

DARWIN, Charles & Francis
The Power of Movement in Plants.
London: John Murray 1880. It has always pleased me to exalt plants in the scale of organised beings First edition first issue of Darwin's penultimate book continuing his experiments with climbing plants and prepared with the assistance of his son Francis. The first issue is distinguished by the presence of two lines of errata on p. x which are corrected in the second issue of the same year. The collaborative authorship proclaimed on the title page reflects Darwin's interest in introducing his children into the world of science. Francis Darwin had trained as a doctor but turned from medicine to botany initially working as secretary and assistant to his father. In 1876 he had been for some months at the University of Würzburg learning laboratory methods from Julius Sachs. "The book was an extension of Charles Darwin's work on climbing plants and it showed that the same mechanisms can be observed in plants in general. By extending the idea of irregular circumnutation the Darwins analysed the growth movement of plants in response to factors of the environment such as light gravity and wounds. In addition they demonstrated that the mechanism of curvature in both roots and shoots was the result of differential growth rates. They could also confirm that the effect of the stimuli on the growth movement was indirect and that light and gravity act on some substance in the tip of the root and the shoot which is transmitted to other parts of the plant. Francis Darwin later refined some of the experimental techniques and modified their theoretical conclusions" ODNB. Provenance: with the ownership signature of Ralph W. Lewis dated 1949 on the half-title. Lewis was a professor of botany plant pathology biology and natural science at Michigan State University from 1937 to 1980. He is best known for his arguments in favour of formalizing evolutionary theory and recognizing evolution as a system of theories. Octavo. With 196 woodcuts in text; 32-page publisher's catalogue dated May 1878 at rear. Original green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind brown coated endpapers. Spine ends and corners gently bumped and rubbed small indentation at centre of spine some marks to rear cover professionally recased pp. 272-3 browned from slip of paper once laid in. A very good copy. Freeman 1325. hardcover

A nice copy.<br /><br />Freeman <em>Darwin Bibliography</em> 1325. First issue with 2 lines of errata on page x.<br />"This was an extension of the work on climbing plants to show that the same mechanism holds good for flowering plants in general. It was another specialist book and seems to have sold fewer copies than any other and was not reprinted in England after the year of Darwin's death until modern facsimiles appeared of the first thousand in 1966 and the second in 1969.The first edition was published on November 6 1880 and it is recorded that 1500 copies were sold at Murray's autumn sale. It was in a standard green cloth binding and cost 15s. . In this issue there are two lines of errata on page x which are corrected in the second thousand of the same year. . In the third thousand of 1882 the last Murray printing the preface is slightly altered" Freeman p.161.<br />This work follows up on his earlier <em>On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants</em> 1865 and was based on experiments that he conducted with the assistance of his son Francis Darwin.
