Exlibris pasted on to pasted down front end-paper. Internally nice and clean. Darwin's paper: Pp. 180-88. Entire volume: viii 568 pp. First appearance of Darwin’s paper on the effects produced by the glaciers of Caernarvonshire. In 1831 Charles Darwin came to Cwm Idwal and failed to perceive the evidence of glaciation there. In 1842 Darwin then went on to describe the glaciation of Cwm Idwal in some detail. He recorded both his first visit with the Cambridge geologist Adam Sedgwick and his second more aware visit in his autobiography: “Next morning we started for Llangollen Conway Bangor and Capel Curig. This tour was of decided use in teaching me a little how to make out the geology of a country. Sedgwick often sent me on a line parallel to his telling me to bring back specimens of the rocks and to mark the stratification on a map. On this tour I had a striking instance of how easy it is to overlook phenomena however conspicuous before they have been observed by any one. We spent many hours in Cwm Idwal examining all the rocks with extreme care as Sedgwick was anxious to find fossils in them; but neither of us saw a trace of the wonderful glacial phenomena all around us; we did not notice the plainly scored rocks the perched boulders the lateral and terminal moraines. Yet these phenomena are so conspicuous that as I declared in a paper published many years afterwards in the ‘Philosophical Magazine’ Darwin 1842 a house burnt down by fire did not tell its story more plainly than did this valley. If it had still been filled by a glacier the phenomena would have been less distinct than they now are. Darwin 1887” “By 1842 not only had Darwin travelled widely Herbert 1991 but Agassiz 1840 had published his theory of glaciation. Darwin was also then apprised of the arguments of the geologist William Buckland. Buckland was known for his penchant for eating every variety of animal a trait which his son inherited Burgess 1967: Chapter 1; Chorley et al. 1964: 100–118; see also Lewry 2008 but he also developed highly significant ideas on glaciation and the limitations of the diluvial theory Chorley et al. 1964: 207–210. A key realization is that water-lain flood deposits are normally laid down in stratified layers with the coarser material below the fine while the glacial deposits are unstratified and mixed in size. Thus in contrast to his earlier 1831 lack of glacial observation” Trudgill Do theories tell us what to see The 19th-century observations of Darwin Ramsay and Bonney on glacial features Darwin wrote: “Guided and taught by the abstract of Dr. Buckland’s memoir ‘On Diluvio-Glacial Phænomena in Snowdonia and the adjacent parts of North Wales’ I visited several of the localities there noticed and . I have been enabled to make a few additional observations. Dr. Buckland has stated that a mile east of Lake Ogwyn there occurs a series of mounds covered with hundreds of large blocks of stone which approach nearer to the condition of an undisturbed moraine than any other mounds of detritus noticed by him in North Wales. By ascending these mounds it is indeed easy to imagine that they formed the north-western lateral moraine of a Trudgill 559 Downloaded from ppg.sagepub.com at PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIV on September 16 2016 glacier descending in a north-east line from the Great Glyder mountain. But at the southern end of Lake Idwell the phænomena of moraines are presented though on a much smaller scale with perfect distinctness. From the present paper p. 180” Darwin then gives a detailed description of the glacial features: “On entering the wild amphitheatre in which Lake Idwell lies some small conical irregular little mounds which might easily escape attention may be seen at the further end. The best preserved mounds lie on the west side of the great black perpendicular face of rock forming the southern boundary of the lake. They have been intersected in many places by streams and they are seen to consist of earth and detritus with great blocks of rock on their summits. They at first appear quite irregularly grouped but to a person ascending any one of those furthest from the precipice they are at once seen to fall into three with traces of a fourth narrow straight linear ridges. The ridge nearest the precipice runs someway up the mountain but the outer one is longer and more perfect and forms a trough with the mountain-side from 10 to 15 feet deep. On the eastern and opposite side of the head of the lake corresponding but less developed mounds of detritus may be seen running a little way up the mountain. It is I think impossible for any one who has read the descriptions of the moraines bordering the existing glaciers in the Alps to stand on these mounds and for an instant to doubt that they are ancient moraines; nor is it possible to conceive any other cause which could have abruptly thrown up these long narrow steep mounds of unstratified detritus against the mountain-sides.

Pp. 39-81 and 2 plates. 1 engraved map and 1 lithographed plate. Both plates with a few brownspots. First appearance of Darwin's investigations of the geological phenomenon of the so-called "Parallel Roads" in Scotland."The first published description of the Parallel Roads was by Thomas Pennant in 1771 in his book A Tour of Scotland. This work was far from scientific but during the 19th century Glen Roy played an important role in the development of geological and geomophological theories of landscape evolution.1 Initially the 'Roads' were believed to be lake or marine shorelines. How they were formed in an area that was now high above the sea and without signs of a closed lake bed was a mystery. Initially it was thought that the shorelines were of marine origin and formed during a period when the sea reached levels of the Parallel Roads. Among the proponent of this theory were both Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell.2 It was in particular Darwin who was impressed by the geology of Glen Roy. In 1838 he wrote to Lyell "I wandered the mountains in All directions and examined that most extraordinary district. I think without any exceptions not even the first volcanic island the first elevated beach or the passage of the Cordillera as so interesting to me as this week. It is far the most remarkable area I ever examined. . I can assure you Glen Roy has astonished me".3 Darwin and Lyell proved to be wrong in this matter." Jan Oosthoek. Freeman 1653. unknown

The Scarce first Danish edition translated from the 5. edition of Darwin's monumental "On the Origin of Species". "In 1872 the book was translated into Danish by the young botanist J. P. Jacobsen. He was soon to become a celebrated novelist famous for Marie Grubbe - A Lady of the Seventeenth Century 1876 and Niels Lyhne 1880. In the early 1870's however he was still dedicated to science. In 1873 he received the University of Copenhagen's Gold Medal for his work on desmids single-celled green freshwater algae. The Descent of Man was also translated by Jacobsen and appeared in 1874-75. "In the early 1870s With the Danish translation the literary critic Georg Brandes started promoting Darwin's ideas as part of his liberal ideology and soon Darwinism became the mark of a new generation of intellectuals. Both the Steenstrup circle and the Brandes circle held Darwin in high esteem but made completely different attributions to his theory. Consequently they both decided to raise money separately for the same Darwin. Darwin had borrowed the collection of barnacles from the Zoology Museum in Copenhagen with the help of Steenstrup. As a compliment Darwin sent him a signed copy of the Origin. Steenstrup acknowledged Darwin as an important fellow naturalist but like many of his colleagues at the University of Copenhagen he never accepted evolutionary theory. The initial scientific reaction to Darwin's work on evolution by means of natural selection was respectful but made few converts. memorial in 1882.
