Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited During the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle Round the World Under the Command of Capt. Fitz Roy R.N.

1860rif. BCNH2002An immaculate copy of Darwin's first published book—universally celebrated as The Voyage of the Beagle. This 1860 printing is heavily prized by collectors as it represents the final definitive text layout. Darwin personally revised the volume contributing an updated preface and a new postscript dated Feb. 1st 1860 addressing minor textual corrections. Furthermore John Murray intentionally published this milestone edition in the exact same green blind-stamped diagonal-wave-grain cloth style used for On the Origin of Species completing the ultimate pairing for evolutionary biology collectors. Physical Description and Collation Octavo. pp. xv xvi 519 followed by 32 pages of Murray's General List of Works advertisements dated "January 1863" bound at the rear. Complete with the half-title page and 11 fine woodcuts/diagrams integrated within the text block. Publisher's original green diagonal-wave-grain cloth boards symmetrically stamped in blind spine lettered and decorated in bright gilt. Original dark chocolate-brown paper endpapers complete with the highly desirable intact paper binder's ticket of "Bound by Edmonds & Remnants London" cleanly affixed to the rear pastedown. An outstanding premium collector's copy in an exceptionally crisp state of preservation. Binding and Cloth: Exceptional. The cloth retains its rich deep original green color across the boards and spine entirely escaping the heavy sun-bleaching or uniform browning typical of mid-Victorian cloth. The gilt lettering is sharp and intensely bright. Sharp corners and firm spine ends showing only minuscule hints of shelf friction. Hinges and Joints: Structurally flawless. The internal hinges are completely sound uncracked and un-repaired. The text block remains tight square and solid. Interior and Text Block: Remarkably fresh. The leaves are crisp white and exceptionally clean showing far less age-toning or foxing than is normally expected of this vintage. Features an elegant contemporary ink signature on the upper margin of the title page "H. Dickson 1st George Oakridge Toronto" offering a brilliant clean piece of nineteenth-century provenance. An incredibly sharp bright and completely untouched copy of the foundational travelogue that directly inspired Darwin's theory of natural selection. John Murray, Albemarle Street hardcover

Pangenesis. - DARWIN'S FERENSE OF HIS PANGENESIS-THEORY.

1871rif. 60107London and New York Macmillan and Co. 1871. Royal8vo. In publisher's original red embossed cloth. In "Nature. A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Science" Vol. 3 November 1870 - April 1871. Stamp to title-page and ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front end-paper. Binding with considerable wear; spine partly disintegrated and front board bended vertically but bookblock firmly attached. Internally fine and clean. Darwin's paper: Pp. 502-503. Entire volume: XII 520 pp. First appearance of Darwin’s defense of his Pangenesis-theory. The Pangenesis theory was hypothetical mechanism for heredity in which he proposed that each part of the body continually emitted its own type of small organic particles called gemmules that aggregated in the gonads contributing heritable information to the gametes. He presented this 'provisional hypothesis' in his 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication intending it to fill what he perceived as a major gap in evolutionary theory at the time. Darwin's half-cousin Francis Galton spent much time conducting wide-ranging inquiries into heredity which led him to refute Charles Darwin's hypothetical theory of pangenesis. In consultation with Darwin he set out to see if gemmules were transported in the blood. Galton was troubled because he began the work in good faith intending to prove Darwin right and having praised pangenesis in Hereditary Genius in 1869. Cautiously he criticized his cousin's theory although qualifying his remarks by saying that Darwin's gemmules which he called "pangenes" might be temporary inhabitants of the blood that his experiments had failed to pick up. In the present paper Darwin challenged the validity of Galton's experiment giving his reasons in an article published in Nature where he wrote. “Now in the chapter on Pangenesis in my Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication I have not said one word about the blood or about any fluid proper to any circulating system. It is indeed obvious that the presence of gemmules in the blood can form no necessary part of my hypothesis; for I refer in illustration of it to the lowest animals such as the Protozoa which do not possess blood or any vessels; and I refer to plants in which the fluid when present in the vessels cannot be considered as true blood." He goes on to admit: "Nevertheless when I first heard of Mr. Galton's experiments I did not sufficiently reflect on the subject and saw not the difficulty of believing in the presence of gemmules in the blood.” From the present paper The hypothesis was finally refuted in the 1900ies after Gregor Mendel's theory of the particulate nature of inheritance was accepted. The Pangenesis-theory however may be considered an eclectic mix of DNA RNA proteins and prions and can be regarded as being one of the earliest steps toward the modern mechanism for heredity namely DNA and RNA.

Postanak Vrsta Pomocu Prirodnog Odabiranja ILI Održavanje Povladivanih Rasa U Borbi Za Život On the Origin of Species - 1st Bosnian Edition

With plate & folding genealogical table. Lacks errata slip. Pages yellowed as normal for age. Covers slightly worn & somewhat stained to top right hand corner back cover. Some foxing on front cover.; GPTThe 1948 Bosnian edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" titled "Postanak vrsta pomocu prirodnog odabiranja ili Održavanje povladivanih rasa u borbi za život" marks a significant historical and cultural milestone as the first translation of this seminal work into Bosnian. This rare edition not only made Darwin's revolutionary ideas on evolution and natural selection accessible to a new audience but also did so in a period marked by post-war reconstruction and ideological shifts in the region. The translation encompasses Darwin’s original theories which propose that species evolve over time through natural selection where traits beneficial for survival and reproduction are preserved leading to gradual changes in the species. This Bosnian version is collectible not only because of its historical value but also due to its rarity and the context of its publication. Released shortly after World War II it reflects the era's hunger for scientific knowledge and the intellectual rebuilding that was taking place across Europe. As a collectible it holds immense value for historians collectors and scholars interested in the dissemination of scientific thought across different languages and cultures. This edition serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Darwin's work and the global appetite for scientific advancement bridging language barriers and cultural divides.
