Best.-Nr. 57847Printed for R. Baldwin. London. 1786. The Tenth Edition. . pp. 384 xiv Index ii Advertisement. Engraved portrait frontispiece dated 1782 the year after she died one folding plate of stove-fires. Original sheep now worn along spine at corners and lower board edge the first half of gathering 'E' misbound one leaf with a couple of edge tears without loss LACKING the two plates at the end of the text showing Plans of a Grand Table of Two Covers with the facsimile printed signature of Mrs. Raffald on page 1 and the real signature of ANN DARWIN Oct 4th 1796 at the head of the title. Possibly ANN DARWIN 1727-1813 the fourth child of Robert Darwin and Charles Darwin's great-aunt. The signature does not really match that given by FREEMAN in Darwin Pedigrees 1984 but given the differences in age when each of them was written perhaps there is a link. It otherwise remains tantalisingly enigmatic. Printed for R. Baldwin. London. 1786. The Tenth Edition. unknown

Milano, G. Daelli e Comp. Editori, 1864, in-8, br. editoriale (qualche sgualcitura, piccola mancanza marginale alla copertina anteriore), pp. 60, [10]. Estratto dal Politecnico, vol. XXI. Prima edizione in volume di questa lezione che ebbe grande eco nel dibattito scientifico e culturale italiano e che introdusse per la prima volta al grande pubblico italiano la teoria dell'evoluzione delle specie di Darwin. La conferenza fu tenuta prima dell'uscita dell'edizione italiana di "Sull'origine delle specie per elezione naturale", avvenuta successivamente, nello stesso anno. La prima edizione in assoluto, la londinese del 1859, era conosciuta in Italia solo da una ristretta cerchia di addetti ai lavori tra le quali il De Filippi che in questa lezione - ne riprese la teoria con alcune caratterizzazioni anche più moderne e alcune, invece, decisamente con questa incongruenti. Tra quelle più moderne il fatto che l'uomo non discendesse da nessuna delle scimmie conosciute, ma che scimmie e uomo condividessero un antenato comune. Tra le incongruenti il fatto che, da cattolico, il De Filippi ammettesse la parentela e l'evoluzione solo dal punto di vista fisico mentre le escludesse dal punto di vista psichico (l'intelletto umano era nato così come lo si conosceva fin dal principio e poneva l'uomo in un regno a sé, separato da quello animale). Durante la lezione pubblica, affermazioni quali "Se è razionale il far derivare tutti primati da un unico stipite; se, nella successione cronologica degli esseri viventi, le scimie [sic] hanno preceduto l'uomo, l'ultima conseguenza si presenta da se stessa, senza cercarla" e "Dire che l'uomo deriva da una scimia, non è altro che esprimere un fatto anatomico", causarono sorpresa nell'uditorio che rimase perplesso e manifestò il suo dissenso; il clamore rimbalzò sulla stampa e la lezione divenne un caso giornalistico con il De Filippi che fu tacciato di materialismo, empietà e ateismo.

1880Best.-Nr. 42425London Harrison and Sons 1880. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1879 Vol. 170 - Part II. Pp. 447-538 and. 1 plate. Clean and fine. First appearance of an importent paper announcing Darwin's so-called "Resonance Theory" of the origin of the moon according to which the moon might have originated from the fission of a parent earth as the result of an instability produced by resonant solar tides."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. unknown
