Quite apart from its scientific value, Darwin's first published work (1839) is an important travel work in its own right. This is essentially a re-issue of Murray's 1890 edition (Freeman 28) with the postscript incorporated in the text, but preserving the gilt 'rhea' hunt on upper board and gilt '3/6' on backstrip first seen in the 1889 edition (Freeman 21).

Appleton for the Brunswick subscription CO. Olive green color pebbled-cloth boards.Text unmarked. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872 the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research correspondence and experimentation. D. Appleton & Company hardcover
1930ref. 3794Brown grained cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Embossed ship on front cover. On the Origin of Species or more completely On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life published on 24 November 1859 is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research correspondence and experimentation. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest upon its publication. Darwin was already highly regarded as a scientist so his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific philosophical and religious discussion. The debate over the book contributed to the campaign by T. H. Huxley and his fellow members of the X Club to secularise science by promoting scientific naturalism. Within two decades there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution with a branching pattern of common descent had occurred but scientists were slow to give natural selection the significance that Darwin thought appropriate. During "the eclipse of Darwinism" from the 1880s to the 1930s various other mechanisms of evolution were given more credit. With the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences. Charles Robert Darwin FRS FRGS FLS FZS 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882 was an English naturalist geologist and biologist best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. His proposition that all species of life have descended from common ancestors is now widely accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace he 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 has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and he was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. By the 1870s the scientific community and a majority of the educated public had accepted evolution as a fact. However many favoured competing explanations which gave only a minor role to natural selection 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. Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Studies at the University of Cambridge Christ's College encouraged his passion for natural science. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's conception of gradual geological change and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author. Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage Darwin began detailed investigations and in 1838 conceived his theory of natural selection. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay that described the same idea prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories. Darwin's work established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. In 1871 he examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals 1872. His research on plants was published in a series of books and in his final book The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Actions of Worms 1881 he examined earthworms and their effect on soil Odhams Press, London. hardcover

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.
