DARWIN, Charles [Robert] [1809-1882]
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. On p.569-70 he suggests natural selection as a possible explanation for plants' ability to bend towards or away from environmental stimuli.</p> John Murray hardcover

Darwin, Charles Assisted by Francis Darwin
The Power of Movement in Plants
1880. London: John Murray 1880. <br /> <br /> 8vo x 592 32 ads dated May 1878 pp. Illustrated with 196 in-text woodcuts. Original green blind-stamped cloth backstrip titled in gilt brown coated endpapers hinges cracked a little wear to crown and foot of backstrip text block edges but not pages stained an unsophisticated copy. <br /> <br /> § § First edition first issue inscribed in Charles Darwin's hand "Elizabeth Darwin From her Father." Presentation copies from Darwin in his own hand are exceptionally rare most presentation copies were inscribed "from the author" by the publisher; a copy inscribed to a family member by Darwin himself is extraordinarily so. <br /> <br /> Elizabeth Darwin known as Bessy was Charles and Emma Darwin's youngest daughter and perhaps the most enigmatic of all their ten children. She is remembered as a quiet soul who lived in the family home until the death of her mother and then in a cottage on her own near her three brothers until her death in 1926. The book which Darwin has inscribed to her was written with the assistance of her brother Francis who had himself become an accomplished botanist. It is an extension of Darwin's earlier work on movement in climbing plants showing that the same mechanisms hold true for flowering plants in general. It was well reviewed and immediately sold 1500 copies.<br /> <br /> Darwin was an exceptionally affectionate father whose anxious feelings for his own children greatly spurred his study of inherited characteristics and of evolution. He and his wife Emma were first cousins a genetic liability that tormented him. This book written in partnership with one of his children and presented to another is a potent testament to the intertwining of scientific genius and fatherhood that so characterized Darwin and catalyzed his momentous career. Books inscribed by Darwin to his children are extremely rare on the market. The last such book at auction - a copy of The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex inscribed by Darwin to his daughter Henrietta who had edited the book - sold for £90000 at Sotheby's in 2015. unknown
