See Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin pages 112-113 Freeman does not mention copies with publishers's catalogue dated January 1872. Fertilisation of Orchids was concerned with working out in detail the relationship between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence for Origin of Species. This is the only Murray Darwin between 1859 and 1910 not bound in green cloth. Life and Letters of Darwin Volume 3 page 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying 'if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the "Origin" the author would have been canonised rather the anathematised by the natural theologians' and notes 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"; Sotheby's catalogue Darwin's Century: The Jeremy Norman Collection page 53 No.127.

Robert Waring Darwin FRS was an English medical doctor who today is best known as the father of the naturalist Charles Darwin. He was a member of the influential DarwinWedgwood family. Robert Darwin provided the first empirical evidence that small eye movements are made even when people attempt to keep them fixed. This he found during his studies of the after images of colored stimuli in which he noticed that while a person tried to fixate a colored circle a lucid edge appeared on the adjacent white-paper background. He concluded "as by the unsteadiness of the eye a part of the fatigued retina falls on the white paper". Wikipedia.

Small octavos 7 1/2" x 5 1/4" bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering to spine and blind stamped borders enclosing panel on boards. Untrimmed edges. Freeman 939 p. 128-132 First edition second state. The first issue of The Descent of Man had a print-run of just 2500 copies. It was published in February 1871 closely followed in March 1871 by the second issue printing of a further 2000 copies. The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin first published in 1871 which applies revolutionary theory to human evolution and details his theory of sexual selection a form of biological adaptation distinct from yet interconnected with natural selection. The book discusses many related issues including evolutionary psychology. evolutionary ethics evolutionary musicology differences between human races differences between sexes the dominant role of women in mate choice and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society. In January 1871 Thomas Huxley's former disciple the anatomist St. George Mivart had published On the Genesis of Species as a critique of natural selection. Anonymously in a Quarterly Review article he claimed that the Descent of Man would unsettle "our half educated classes" and talked of people doing as they pleased breaking laws and customs. An infuriated Darwin guessed that Mivart was the author and thinking "I shall soon be viewed as the most despicable of men" looked for an ally. In September Huxley wrote a cutting review of Mivart's book and article which a relieved Darwin told him "How you do smash Mivart's theology. He may write his worst & he will never mortify me again". As 1872 began Mivart politely inflamed the argument again writing "wishing you very sincerely a happy new year" while wanting a disclaimer of the "fundamental intellectual errors" in the Descent of Man. This time Darwin ended the correspondence. Condition: Spine ends rubbed edge wear stained and soiling to covers volume one lacking back end paper inner hinges cracked in both volumes but holding.

This photograph is taken from Lock & Whitfield's Men of Mark series - a portrait gallery of prominent Victorian individuals - and refashioned for open display. By 1878 the 69-year-old's fame was widespread. Despite his increasing retirement at Down House many continued to seek him out including Gladstone in 1877. As his son Francis recalled "He did not realise that people would know him from his photograph and I remember him at the Crystal Palace aquarium saying in uneasy voice that somebody had been looking at him & he supposed he must have been recognized" Van Whye. Men of Mark was issued in monthly parts comprising three portrait plates and biographical notices for 1s 6d. Darwin appeared in part 36 in December 1878. This image was later used as the frontispiece to the third edition in French of the Descent of Man.

Charles Darwin's first published book now universally known as 'The Voyage of the Beagle' but not issued with that title until 1905 is as Richard Freeman notes in his bibliography of the author "undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to 'On the Origin of Species' as the most often printed". Darwin's account of his travels aboard HMS Beagle between 1831 and 1836 has an appropriately circuitous bibliographical history. It was first issued as the third volume of three of 'The narrative of the voyages of H. M. Ships Adventure and Beagle' 1839 edited by Robert Fitzroy Captain of the Beagle; Darwin's volume simply titled 'Journal and remarks 1832-1836' was also reissued alone the same year. A second edition followed in 1845 as 'Journal or researches into the natural history and geology of the countries visited during the voyage of H. M. S. Beagle round the world .' but it is this 1860 edition described by Freeman as the "Final definitive text" that became the template for the countless editions that followed. Darwin provided new preliminaries and a postscript dated Feb. 1st 1860 outlining changes and corrections made to the text. The work itself a groundbreaking fusion of travel narrative and scientific fieldwork is as Freeman notes"an important travel book in its own right" as well as its significance "in relation to the background of Darwin's evolutionary ideas". The green cloth binding for the 1860 edition is notable for being identical to that of the first three editions of 'On the Origin of Species'. Freeman 20.

With a fine crisp portrait of Charles Darwin at an age of ca. 68 years. This photo was probably 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 gave the four known poses the letters a to d. This card is of his type b.4. The card bears the printed number 1391 and on its verso a red monogram "P". Very rare in such excellent condition. J. Van Wyhe in: Helvert P. van & J. Van Wyhe Darwin: a Companion 1874 b.4 p. 175.
