ref. elala2638London: John Murray 1872. Sixth Edition Twelfth Thousand. Generally regarded as the last edition the sixth was extensively revised and included a new chapter VII inserted to refute the views of the Roman Catholic biologist St. George Mivart and a glossary compiled by W.S.Dallas. The title was changed to The Origin of Species and the word evolution in this text for the first time. Prepared under the advice of Lyell and Hooker this was Darwins greatest work and one of the most important books ever published The evidence for the existence of evolution and that it resulted from the survival of the fittest by natural selection is marshaled and set out as never before. Garrison considered this the most wonderful piece of synthesis in the history of science. Darwins influence on biology was fundamental its full implications being by no means yet exhausted.

1875ref. 132980London: John Murray 1875. First edition of this classic work by Darwin. Octavo original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine woodcut illustrations by Darwin and his sons George and Francis Darwin. In very good condition. Bookplate and Henry Southeran's bookseller ticket to the pastedown. Darwin states in the opening pages to this comprehensive account: "During the summer of 1860 I was surprised by finding how large a number of insects were caught by the leaves of the common sun-dew Drosera rotundifolia on a heath in Sussex. I had heard that insects were thus caught but knew nothing further on the subject." The book chronicles Darwin's experiments with various carnivorous plants in which he carefully studied their feeding mechanisms Darwin tried several methods to stimulate the plants into activating their trap mechanisms including feeding them meat and glass blowing on them and prodding them with hair. He found that only the movement of an animal would cause the plants to react and concluded that this was an evolutionary adaptation to conserve energy for prey and to ignore stimuli that were not likely to be nutritious. He also discovered that while some plants have distinct trap-like structures others produce sticky fluids to ensnare their prey and concluded that this was an example of natural selection pressure resulting in various methods for food capture.

Generally a very nice set uncut with the presentation bookplate of the University of Southern California Messrs. Milton and Stanley Slotkin in each volume ownership signature on the title to Volume II. First edition first issue of Darwin's great contribution to the descent theory and the foundation on which all later racial-biological research was based. This work expands in detail material that Darwin had intended to include in his Origin. The most novel element in the work is Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis by which he attempts to explain hereditary resemblance inheritance of acquired characteristics atavism and regeneration. Although proven invalid this theory was nevertheless of prime importance in the history of genetics. "Darwin carried out numerous investigations with pigeons and various plants. He recognized continuous and discontinuous variation; he concluded that crossing tends to keep populations uniform" G&M. John Murray unknown

Hindges loose on volume i. A fine fine and clean copy. LXXI 1 542 pp.; VII 5 436 pp. The exceedingly rare first Hungarian translation of Darwin's The Descent of Man. "Compared with the original and with a biography by Margó Tivador" Freeman. The Hungarian public was introduced to Darwinism early on when Ferenc Jánosi reviewed The Origin of Species in the Budapesti Szemle Budapest Review a half year after it first appeared in English. Darwin's principal works were first published in Hungarian translation by the Royal Hungarian Natural Science Society Királyi Magyar Természettudományi Társulat. The Origin of Species translated by László Dapsy was published in 1873; The present work in 1884 and a few years later in 1897 the latter work was translated anew and published by László Seress. "It is characteristic of the enlightened spirit of the country in this period that Darwin received academic recognition earlier in Hungary than in England. Although Cambridge did not honor Darwin until 1879 he was elected an honorary member of The Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1872 the same year on this occasion the renowned Hungarian zoologist Tivadar Margó visited him at Down.Historical circumstances played a major role in this quick appearance of Darwinism and its popularity in Hungary. The failure of the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence seemingly put an end to progressive political discourse signaling an ideological crisis among the intelligentsia. In this context the natural sciences with their 'eternal truths' promised a way out inasmuch as science's promised objectivity might well serve as a politically neutral expression of progressive values" Mund The Reception of Charles Darwin in Nineteenth-Century Hungarian Society."Darwin wrote in the preface to the second edition of 'the fiery ordeal through which this book has passed'. He had avoided the logical outcome of the general theory of evolution bringing man into the scheme for twelve years and in fact it had by that time been so much accepted that the clamour of the opposition was not strident. He had also been preceded in 1863 by Huxley's Man's place in nature. The book in its first edition contains two parts the descent of man itself and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The origin of species in the following year."

Light wear to extremities otherwise a fine and clean set. 262 2; 313 3 pp. Rare first Polish edition of the second and third parts of the Descent of Man but published separate from the first part as one work hence the title 'Sexual Selection' a translation authorised by Darwin in response to Malowski's request to make the translation Letter 8910 14 May 1873. Whereas "Origin of Species" established Darwinism as a turning point in nineteenth-century biology "The Descent of Man" helped built a bridge between biology the social sciences and the humanities and made Darwinism a broad system of research designs theoretical principles and philosophical outlook.The numeration of parts is from Chapter I to Chapter VI vol. I and from Chapter VII to Chapter XIV vol. II. It is generally based on the first English edition 1871 but at the end of vol. II the Polish publisher has added the short note on the brains of man and apes of T. H. Huxley which was originally published in the second English edition 1874. "It was translated into Danish Dutch French German Italian Polish Russian and Swedish in Darwin's lifetime and into ten further languages since."
