1896rif. 5553First edition of the significant Russian translation of 'On the Origin of Species' by Kliment Timiryazev. The first Russian translation of Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' was completed in 1864 based on the American edition of 1860 and heavily influenced by the first German translation 1860. A second translation appeared in 1896 offered in two versions—one by journalist historian and mathematician Mikhail Filipov and the other by the renowned Russian botanist and physiologist Kliment Timiryazev 1843-1920 a prominent advocate for Darwin's theories in Russia. Both translations were based on Darwin's final 6th edition 1876. This first volume of the four-volume series 'The Works' by Darwin features Timiryazev's first translation. As a young student at the University of St. Petersburg in 1860 Timiryazev first encountered Darwin's theory of the origin of species. After graduating he traveled to Heidelberg for further study and research where he spent much of his time with Vladimir Kovalevsky a passionate Russian Darwinist. In 1877 Timiryazev after some difficulty managed to arrange a meeting with Charles Darwin at Down House. Upon returning to Russia Timiryazev devoted himself to defending and promoting Darwin's theories. His translations of Darwin's works are considered the highest quality both in translation accuracy and scientific editing.

1852rif. 7904London: John Murray 1852. 8vo pp.viii 519 1. Original red cloth blocked in blind spine lettered direct in gilt. A touch soiled. A little shaken boards marked and somewhat grubby a touch of insect damage head of spine slightly defective. Binder’s ticket of Edmonds & Remnants London to rear pastedown ownership inscription to title-page. An early issue of the revised edition of Darwin’s first published book. Despite the title-page advertising it as a new edition it is an otherwise-unchanged reprint of the 1845 2nd edition from plates. This second edition was substantially revised from its initial publication as a supplementary volume to Captain Fitzroy’s 2 volume ‘Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle’ in 1839 and despite the addition of a new postscript in 1860 this 1845 version remained the definitive lifetime text. This issue and its immediate predecessor are issued and bound as part of publisher Murray’s ‘Colonial and Home Library’ of cheap reprints described by Freeman as ‘a miserable piece of printing in small type with mean margins’ while the 1860 edition was printed on larger paper and given a green cloth binding to match the previous year’s ‘On The Origin of Species’ and reflects the growth in status and importance of the work and its author.
