1899ref. 29274London: John Murray 1899. 2 volumes. Second edition eighth impression a very early reissue of an important edition revised. With illustrations throughout. 8vo original polished green cloth gilt lettered and decorated on the spines paneled in blind on the covers. xiv 473 1; x 495 32 catalogue pp. A very handsome set beautifully preserved and unusually fresh in the original bright and unfaded cloth still with the gilt bright and strong in colour a tight and clean copy. A HANDSOME SET OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis. This work "represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two intended chapters. It contains in Chapter XXVII his provisional hypothesis of pangenesis; one which he thought was new but has a long back history" Freeman 877. The first work to truly discuss the actual origin and development of species as an accepted scientific method. The second part of his 'big book' was not published until 1875 under the title NATURAL SELECTION. It was in this work that Darwin attempted his finalization of the understanding or pangenesis and an explanation of acquired characteristics and hereditary resemblance. These subjects were near to impossible to explain in Darwin’s time as scientific methodology and technology had simply not developed to the point at which finite and provable studies on genes and chromosomes could be explored.

The rare first Norwegian translation of Darwin's "The life and letters of Charles Darwin including an autobiographical chapter" - being the first translation of any of Darwin's works into Norwegian "Origin" was translated into Norwegian in 1890.A complete Danish translation of the work has never been published and the first Swedish translation did not appear until 1959. Due to the similarities between Danish Swedish and Norwegian this edition in effect introduced Darwin's letters and autobiography to Scandinavia.Martin Simon Søraas is listed as translator on all three title-pages whereas Freeman lists Peder Jacobsen Ulleland as having translated vol. 1. and Martin Simon Søraas as having translated vol. 2 and 3. Ulleland is listed in Freeman as having translated vol. 1 because he initiated a translation but only finished volume 1. Sørensen the publisher quickly discovered that Ulleland did not have the required skills as a translator and Sørensen fired him. Eventually Søraas was hired and translated all three volumes.Freeman 1528 hardcover

With a fine crisp portrait of Charles Darwin at the age of 65 years. This photo was made in the studio of Elliott & Fry in 1874. ".while Darwin wrote and published two of his most important evolutionary tracts - Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - he took a hiatus from sitting for his photographic image. Once these books were out however he needed an updated carte-de-visite that he could send out to his friends and supporters. He turned again to the photographers who had made his most recent cartes Elliot and Fry. They produced at least four different poses which Darwin would have sent to friends and admirers." Darwin Project - photographic portraits. Van Wyhe identifying the four poses with the letters a to d described the recto of this version as variety 1874 c.7 but give no information about the card verso.

Clark: 180-181; Freeman 800; Norman 595 First edition. Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilized by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing. Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilized and this new idea was explored in detail. Field studies and practical scientific investigations that were initially a recreation for Darwin—a relief from the drudgery of writing—developed into enjoyable and challenging experiments. Aided in his work by his family friends and a wide circle of correspondents across Britain and worldwide Darwin tapped into the contemporary vogue for growing exotic orchids. The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation. It influenced botanists and revived interest in the neglected idea that insects played a part in pollinating flowers. It opened up the new study areas of pollination research and reproductive ecology directly related to Darwin's ideas on evolution and supported his view that natural selection led to a variety of forms through the important benefits achieved by cross-fertilization. Although the general public showed less interest and sales of the book were low it established Darwin as a leading botanist. Orchids was the first in a series of books on his innovative investigations into plants. Condition: Some scuffing to leather points rubbed. Provenance: H.M.

A nice copy. Freeman Darwin Bibliography 1325. First issue with 2 lines of errata on page x. "This was an extension of the work on climbing plants to show that the same mechanism holds good for flowering plants in general. It was another specialist book and seems to have sold fewer copies than any other and was not reprinted in England after the year of Darwin's death until modern facsimiles appeared of the first thousand in 1966 and the second in 1969.The first edition was published on November 6 1880 and it is recorded that 1500 copies were sold at Murray's autumn sale. It was in a standard green cloth binding and cost 15s. . In this issue there are two lines of errata on page x which are corrected in the second thousand of the same year. . In the third thousand of 1882 the last Murray printing the preface is slightly altered" Freeman p.161. This work follows up on his earlier On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants 1865 and was based on experiments that he conducted with the assistance of his son Francis Darwin. On p.569-70 he suggests natural selection as a possible explanation for plants' ability to bend towards or away from environmental stimuli. John Murray hardcover
