1875Best.-Nr. 93115Paris, C. Reinwald, 1875, in-8, [4]-VIII-552 pp, 22-[1] pp. de cat. éd, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Quelques figures dans le texte. Édition originale de la traduction française du Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries paru en 1839. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage de Darwin et le plus lu, après l'Origine des espèces. Il forme une relation de voyage importante en soi et par son rapport avec les idées de l'auteur sur l'évolution. La seconde édition anglaise, parue en 1845, a servi de base pour les diverses traductions. La version française, par Edmond Barbier (le troisième traducteur de l'Origine des espèces) est tardive : elle paraît plus de 30 ans après l'originale anglaise. Darwin voyage à bord du Beagle de 1831 à 1836, ce qui lui permet de faire un grand nombre d'observations géologiques. Il récolte des organismes vivants ou fossiles, et conserve une riche collection de spécimens, dont il envoie certains spécimens à Cambridge, accompagnés de lettres sur ses découvertes. Selon ses propres mots, ce voyage "a été de loin l'événement le plus important de [sa] vie et a déterminé toute [sa] carrière" (Charles Darwin, Autobiographie). Non rogné. Étiquette ex-libris du Comte de Saint-Périer : René de Saint-Périer (1877-1950), archéologue et préhistorien français, qui fit les fouilles de la grotte de Lespugue Fente dans toute la longueur du plat supérieur.

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 extensively rewritten by Darwin and published in 1872 removed the word 'On' from the title 'On the origin of species' and includes rebuttal of Roman Catholic biologist St. George Mivart's theological arguments in his 1871 text On the Genesis of Species. The sixth edition is significant for including the use of the word 'evolution' for the first time in furtherance of Darwin's argument for natural selection. It is the last edition published in Darwin's lifetime and includes extensive revisions and rewriting by the author. The sixth edition went through numerous printings and includes all Darwin's revisions since On the origin of species was first released in 1859. It is considered the definitive text for what many consider to be the most significant scientific book ever published. Freeman 439 hardcover
