1882Best.-Nr. 94485Paris, C. Reinwald, 1882, in-8, [2]-XXVI-599 pp, 20 pp. de cat. éd, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Première édition française, traduite de l'anglais annotée et augmentée d'une préface par le Dr. Edouard Heckel, directeur du Muséum d'histoire naturel de Marseille en 1879. Nombreuses figures sur bois dans le texte. Ce livre a été conçu par Darwin comme une extension de son ouvrage sur les plantes grimpantes, visant à montrer que les mêmes stratégies de croissance se retrouvaient ailleurs dans le règne végétal. La première édition est parue le 6 novembre 1880. Charles Darwin, qui faisait l'analogie entre les règnes végétal et animal, a consacré aux plantes plusieurs grandes monographies. L'observation du végétal lui a permis de déduire des phénomènes de changement et donc de développer la théorie transformiste. Légers frottements. Quelques rousseurs sur les premiers et derniers feuillets. Couverture rigide

First complete Spanish translation of Darwin's "Journal of Researches": "La única que completa e intacta se ofrece en castellano" From the introduction to the present work. The work now now known as Voyage of the Beagle was Darwin's first published book. As Darwin later recalled in his autobiography 'The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career'. "On its first appearance in its own right also in 1839 it was called Journal of researches into the geology and natural history etc. The second edition of 1845 transposes 'geology' and 'natural history' to read Journal of researches into the natural history and geology etc. and the spine title is Naturalist's voyage. The final definitive text of 1860 has the same wording on the title page but the spine readsNaturalist's voyage round the world and the fourteenth thousand of 1879 places A naturalist's voyage on the title page. The voyage of the Beagle first appears as a title in the Harmsworth Library edition of 1905. It is a bad title: she was only a floating home for Darwin on which in spite of good companionship he was cramped and miserably sea-sick; whilst the book is almost entirely about his expeditions on land."

First appearance of Darwin' comment on Aldred Wallace's suggestion that animals find their way home by recognising the odour of the places which they have passed. In the comment Darwin describes the following anecdote: "Many years ago I was on a mail-coach and as soon as we came to a public-house the coachman pulled up for the fraction of a second. He did so when we came to a second public-house and I then asked him the reason. He pointed to the off-hand wheeler and said that she had been long completely blind and she would stop at every place on the road at which she had before stopped. He had found by experience that less time was wasted by pulling up his team than by trying to drive her past the place for she was contented with a momentary stop. After this I watched her and it was evident that she knew exactly before the coachman began to pull up the other horses every public-house on the road for she had at some time stopped at all. I think there can be little doubt that this mare recognised all these houses by her sense of smell." From the present paper. Freeman 1759 unknown
