The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex is one of Charles Darwin's most influential and controversial works first published in 1871.

A FINE COPY OF THIS ELUSIVE BOOK. Darwin considered this book to "form a complement to that on the Fertilisation of Orchids". "This book will form a a compliment to that on the Fertilisation of Orchids in which I showed how perfect were the means for cross-fertilisation and here I shall show how important are the results. The LIFE AND LETTERS of Darwin III p. 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying that "if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the 'Origin' the author would have been canonised rather than anathematised by the natural theologians" and noted that a review in the 'Literary Churchman' found only one fault "that Mr. Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying 'O Lord how manifold are Thy works.'" The book was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilize them their evolution being attributed to natural selection and therefore was the first of the volumes of "supporting evidence" for his ORIGIN OF SPECIES. THE EFFECTS OF CROSS AND SELF FERTILISATION continues the work begun in 'ORCHIDS". John Murray hardcover

1873Best.-Nr. A2091vii37414 ad pages with figures drawings 7 plates some folding and index. Octavo 8" x 5 1/4 bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and ruled in black with design to cover. DSB Freeman 1143. cf Garrison & Morton 4975 First American edition. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory following On The Origin of Species1859 and The Descent of Man 1871. Originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man it was published separately in 1872 and concerns the biological aspects of emotional life. In this book Darwin sets out some early concepts of behavioral genetics and explores the origins of such human characteristics as the lifting of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and the mental confusion which typically accompanies blushing. A German translation of The Expression appeared in 1872; Dutch and French translations followed in 1873 and 1874. A second edition of the book was published in 1890. Before Darwin human emotional life had posed problems to the traditional philosophical categories of mind and body. Darwin's biological approach links mental states to the neurological organization of movement and he allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in the shaping of expression. Darwin's interest can be traced to his time as a medical student and the 1824 publication of Sir Charles Bell's Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression which argued for a spiritual dimension to the subject. Darwin sought out the opinions of some leading British psychiatrists notably James Crichton-Browne in the preparation of the book which forms his main contribution to psychology. Amongst the innovations with this book are Darwin's circulation of a questionnaire probably inspired by his cousin Francis Galton in his preparatory research; simple psychology experiments on emotional recognition with his friends and family; and borrowing from Duchenne de Boulogne a physician at the Salpêtrière the use of photographs in his presentation of scientific information. The Expression of the Emotions is an important landmark in the history of book illustration.
