Charles Robert Darwin 1809-1882 was an English naturalist and geologist best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However many favored competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history. He was honored by burial in Westminster Abbey. The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex was first published in 1871. It applies evolutionary theory to human evolution and details Darwin's theory of sexual selection a form of biological adaptation distinct from yet interconnected with natural selection. The book discusses many related issues including evolutionary psychology evolutionary ethics differences between human races differences between sexes the dominant role of women in mate choice and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society. Fritz Kredel 1900-1973 was a German later American artist and graphic designer. In his early years he studied under Rudolf Koch at Offenbach School of Art and Design and developed skills in woodcuts. Koch and Kredel collaborated on A Book of Signs 1923 and The Book of Flowers 1930. Following Koch's death in 1934 Kredel moved to Frankfurt but in 1938 he fled Germany for political reasons with help from Melbert Cary. After emigrating to the United States that year he taught at Cooper Union in New York and continued to work as an artist. He produced illustrations for over 400 books in German and English and received many awards and honors. Many of his originals are now housed at the Art Library at Yale University.

A correspondence and intellectual comradeship quickly developed to the point where in July 1857 Darwin informed Gray of his as yet unpublished theory of natural selection thereby making Gray the third person after Joseph Hooker and Charles Lyell to know his secret. Part of this letter to Gray was later included in the presentation to the Linnean Society in July 1858 when Darwin first made his theory and Wallace's public. After the publication of The Origin of Species Gray became Darwin's foremost American defender against his Harvard colleague Louis Agassiz and other critics. Gray arranged for the publication of an American edition of the Origin of Species and wrote a positive review for the American Journal of Science. Then in the three issues-July pp 109-116 August pp 229-239 October pp 406-425 1860--of The Atlantic Monthly contained in this volume he wrote again anonymously in defense of Darwin the first two parts "Darwin on the Origin of Species" the third "Darwin and His Reviewers". Darwin was extremely pleased with Gray's Atlantic Monthly piece and eventually funded its publication-retitled and under Gray's name-by Ticknor and Fields the publisher of The Atlantic Monthly and had 250 copies sent to him for distribution by Trubner and Co. Because James Fields was a close friend of Louis Agassiz the pamphlet was never sold by Ticknor and Fields in the United States. "Thus although actually printed in America the pamphlet was in effect a British publication and received the impetus of Darwin's promotional efforts there" Dupree Asa Gray p. 299. Notably also contained in this volume is a report in the October issue pp 492-502 titled The Election in November: ""We believe that this election is a turning-point in our history . . . It is in a moral aversion to slavery as a great wrong that the chief strength of the Republican party lies. . . . We are persuaded that the election of Mr. Lincoln will do more than anything else to appease the excitement of the country. He has proved both his ability and his integrity; he has head experience enough in public affairs to make him a statesman and not enough to make him a politician. The encroachments of Slavery upon our national policy have been like those of a glacier in a Swiss valley. Inch by inch the huge dragon with his glittering scales and crests of ice coils itself onward an anachronism of summer the relic of a bygone world where such monsters swarmed. But it has its limit the kindlier forces of Nature work against it and the silent arrows of the sun are still as of old fatal to the frosty Python. Geology tells us that such enormous devastators once covered the face of the earth but the benignant sunlight of heaven touched them and they faded silently leaving no trace but here and there the scratches of their talons and the gnawed boulders scattered where they made their lair. We have entire faith in the benignant influence of Truth the sunlight of the moral world and believe that slavery like other worn-out systems will melt gradually before it. 'All the earth cries out upon Truth and the heaven blesseth it; ill works shake and tremble at it and with it is no unrighteous thing.'" Psalm 66 Isaiah 13 Hebrews 6. Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day February 12 1809. Both lost their mother at a young age and despite their differences in upbringing both men saw themselves as autodidacts. In his book Lincoln and Darwin 2010 James Lander argues that they also shared an interest in science and a skeptical approach to religion. Darwin closely followed the events of the American Civil War and wanted Lincoln and the Union to prevail. Lander explores similarities in the intellectual development concerns and impacts of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin focusing in particular on the issue of slavery in the United States which both men influentially opposed. Lander's broader argument is that Lincoln and Darwin shared the same outlook on the central issues of race science and religion. He also looks at the relationship between science and race in the 19th century United States and the emergence and influence of scientific racism. Of particular interest in this volume of The Atlantic the article on the coming presidential election refers to geologic time and extinction of the dinosaurs as a metaphor for the hoped-for extinction of slavery. Also in this volume a review of Home Ballads and Poems by John Greenleaf Whittier concluding "We have had no more purely American poet thn Mr. Whittier none in whom the popular thought found such ready and vigorous expression." THE ATLANTIC was founded in 1857 in Boston as The Atlantic Monthly a literary and cultural magazine that published leading writers' commentary on education the abolition of slavery and other major political issues of that time. In 1860 three years into publication The Atlantic's then-editor James Russell Lowell endorsed Republican Abraham Lincoln for his first run for president and also endorsed the abolition of slavery.

Spine ends and board edges a bit rubbed with tiny bit of cloth flaking at base of spine; internally complete and quite fresh the endpapers and hinges clean and strong text firm and unmarked; in all a tight Very Good copy. A key work in Darwin's evolutionary canon originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man but published separately for cost considerations. Darwin's meticulously documented thesis that certain expressions of emotion are if not universal then at least highly correlated across human cultures as well as across animal species has never been seriously challenged. The heliotype plates most of which are printed from original negatives represented an important milestone in scientific book illustration; they were included at considerable expense despite the objections of Darwin's publishers who warned that their inclusion would "poke a terrible hole" in the book's profits. A quite nice copy of a book which while not strictly uncommon is typically found well-worn. D. Appleton & Co unknown books

LEONARD DARWIN 1850 – 1943 son of Charles Darwin and president of the Congress was an English politician economist and eugenicist. He was president of the Royal Geographical Society from 1908 to 1911 and chairman of the British Eugenics Society from 1911 to 1928 – succeeding his half-cousin once removed Francis Galton. Darwin played an important part in the life of the geneticist and statistician Ronald Fisher supporting him intellectually morally and sometimes financially. Cited by RC Engs in The Eugenics Movement 2005: "As the early-twentieth-century eugenics movement spread on both sides of the Atlantic the First International Eugenics Congress brought together eugenics leaders from the United States Britain Germany and other countries. The congress held at the University of London Jiily 24-30 1912 was hosted by the British Eugenics Education Society. Attendance included 324 individuals from around the world. The conference name tags bore the likeness of Francis Galton the father of eugenics. This major race improvement or eugenics conference was aimed at all organizations and individuals studying eugenics race hygiene and heredity. Britain's pivotal eugenics leader Leonard Darwin son of naturalist Charles Darwin served as chairman. Other British delegates included eugenics author C. W. Saleeby geneticist William Bateson 1861-1926 and Winston Churchill 1874-1965 then secretary of state for home affairs and later prime minister. Eugenics supporter and Statistician R. A. Fisher as a student served as a steward; statistician Karl Pearson did not attend. From the United States 'vice presidents' or those who helped organize the conferences included inventor Alexander Graham Bell eugenics leader Charles Davenport university presidents Charles Eliot and David Starr Jordan. Other notable American delegates were anthropologist Henry Fairfield Osbom; eugenics supporter Madison Grant; and geneticists William E. Castle Frederick A. Woods and Raymond Pearl. The conference sessions were divided into four categories the relationship of eugenics to 1 biological research 2 sociological and historical research 3 legislation and social customs and 4 the practical applications of eugenic principles. The papers and proceedings from the conference program were published by the Eugenics Society in two volumes. Vol. I. Problems in Eugenics: Papers Communicated to the First International Eugenics Congress 1912 contained 490 pages. Most of the papers presented at the conference were found in this volume offered here. Specific titles included "Eugenics and Militarism" "The Influence of Race on History" and "Backward Children." Vol. 2 Problems in Eugenics: Report of Proceedings contained 189 pages. Although it ineluded a few papers its primary focus was discussion following presentations. A planning committee was formed to plan the next congress in 1913. However due to World War I the committee did not meet until October 1919 in London where it agreed to hold a Second Intemational Congress of Eugenics in New York in 1921."

1884réf. 15825Torino: Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese 1884. FIRST EDITIONS IN ITALIAN. Original printed wrappers. I: First and only Italian edition of Insectivorous plants first published in London in 1875. Darwin’s meticulous study of the adaptation of plants particularly under impoverished conditions. A chance observation of flies caught on a leaf of Drosera rotundifolia led the author to a series of experiments and subsequent conclusion about the significance of carnivorous feeding and how this remarkable adaptation ensures the survival of the plant. Of particular interest to Darwin was his observation that the living plant cells possessed a capacity for irritability and response much like that of the nerve and muscle cells of animals. II: First Italian edition of Different forms of flowers on plants of the same species London 1877. A very technical work devoted to dimorphism of plants with a specific attention to primrose and primulaceous plants. Darwin noticed that in some species flowers differ by the lengths of their anthers and styles like the primroses which show two conditions or loosestrife which shows three. This work was only translated into French and German during Darwin’s lifetime. Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese unknown books
1878réf. 15656Paris: C. Reinwald 1878. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Woodcut illustrations and tables in text. Original cloth; an excellent copy uncut and unopened. First edition in French of the author’s important work on the adaptation of plants. In these investigations Darwin crosses a “long styled” individual with another long styled flower to produce a comparatively infertile primrose illustrating a degree of sterility within the limits of a single species comparable to that produced in the crossing of distinct species. Darwin’s work on heterostyled plants bears on one of the most difficult points in the statement of the case for evolution the sterility of interspecific crosses and of hybrids. Darwin writes that the time involved in this research gave him more pleasure than almost any other. Freeman 1296. C. Reinwald unknown books

While working on Descent of Man Darwin became interested in emotional expression across species. In animals he believed expressions were a part of their purposeful action and not connected to emotion. Humans however were very emotional. He examines reactions and expressions in human subjects to different stimuli like "low spirits" of grief and anxiety and "high spirits" like love. Though for Darwin the most intriguing and peculiar reaction to emotion was blushing.

Hence also it is that idiots rarely blush." Freeman 1141 & 1142 Norman 600; Garrison-Morton 4975. John Murray unknown books
