1864Due voll. in -8°, pp. (2), VIII, 492, (2); (2) VIII, 574, (2); illustrazioni nel testo; legatura in tela editoriale con fregi in oro ai piatti e titoli al dorso. Prima edizione in volume di questo importante lavoro del filosofo e scienziato inglese, considerato un caposaldo dell’evoluzionismo: questo è un’esemplare della seconda tiratura fatta contestualmente alla prima e al frontespizio porta la dicitura “Stereotyped-Second Thousand”). Lo stesso Darwin avrebbe sostenuto, dopo aver letto il lavoro, che la coniazione spenceriana “sopravvivenza del più adatto” (in quest’opera impiegata per la prima volta) fosse preferibile alla sua “selezione naturale”. Il tentativo di Spencer è di armonizzare le teorie di Darwin, introdotte poco tempo prima, con il meccanismo individuato da Lamarck di “carattere acquisito”. I “Principles of Biology” uscì a dispense prima di essere riunito in questi due volumi, dispense pubblicate fra il ’64 e il ’67, ed è parte del progetto di “Synthetic Philosophy” intorno al quale il pensatore inglese lavorò tra il 1862 e il 1893, un progetto da intendersi anche come editoriale, e del quale questi due volumi costituiscono la seconda parte (dopo i “First Principles”. Questa copia comprende, in entrambi i volumi, il prospetto del progetto nonché l’informazione dell’editore sulle altre opere di Spencer. Sono comprese anche le appendici, fatto non comunissimo. First edition (but “second thousand”) of this important work by the english scientist, it’s considered a cornerstone of the evolutionism. The Spencer’s effort was to put together the Darwin theories with these of Lamarck.

The first Polish edition of Charles Darwin's celebrated travel narrative originally published in English as "Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle" and later known as "The Voyage of the Beagle". This work presents Darwin's observations and scientific reflections made during the historic 1831-1836 voyage of the Beagle documenting his studies in geology zoology botany and ethnography across South America the Galápagos Islands and other regions--research that proved foundational for the later development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Translated into Polish by Józef Nusbaum from the 1884 English edition this publication represents an important milestone in the reception of Darwinian thought in Poland and remains a key text in the history of nineteenth-century science and exploration.

1892ref. 48692London: John Murray 1892. Very good plus. Sixth edition "forty-third thousand" overall - and the first to use the term "evolution" to describe the mechanism of natural selection that Darwin introduced in the book. "Evolution" - the word now most associated with THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES - was not used to describe natural selection in the publication until the sixth edition. By then Darwin was well aware that he had a phenomenon on his hands with the title - it was time to widen his audience. The 6th edition was purposefully set in smaller type slimming the book's profile and making it more affordable "I have been told on authority which I can trust that . workmen club together to buy the Origin" Darwin noted of previous editions in correspondence in 1871. It also contains a glossary for the first time making the text more accessible to a non-specialist audience. Appropriately this copy was once owned by James G. Mead whale biologist and longtime curator of marine mammals at the Smithsonian. Mead is a particular proponent of the anatomical study of marine mammals a method of examination that Darwin also favored; THE NEW YORK TIMES notes that Mead's use of this technique "has given scientists a detailed look at species that often can be observed only fleetingly in the wild." A notable edition of an iconic work. 7.5'' x 5''. Publisher's green cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Floral patterned endpapers of the John Murray monogram. xxii 432 pages including index; folds from page 185 on are unopened. Small owner name to front flyleaf "J. G. Mead" dated Feb. 1972.

ref. 54343showing him head and shoulders three quarter face with his full beard oval 4½" x 3½" on mount 10¾" x 8" no place no date circa The term Woodburytype refers to both a photomechanical process and the print produced by this process. The process produces continuous tone images in slight relief. A chromated gelatin film is exposed under a photographic negative which hardens in proportion to the amount of light. Then it is developed in hot water to remove all the unexposed gelatin and dried. This relief is pressed into a sheet of lead in a press with 5000 psi. This is an intaglio plate. It is used as a mold and is filled with pigmented gelatin. The gelatin layer is then pressed onto a paper support. It is thought to produce the finest photographic images. The Woodburytype was developed by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864 first used in a publication in 1866 and widely used for fine book illustration from about 1870 to 1900. unknown
