Light wear to extremities primarily affecting spine. Inner font hinge split otherwise a fine and clean copy. 591 1 pp. 2 plates. First printing of the exceedingly rare second Armenian translation of Darwin's landmark work. The first translation translated by S. Sargsyan was published in 1936 and both translations are of the upmost scarcity. Due to the relatively low number of people speaking Armenian approximately 3 million in Armenia and 7 million outside books in Armenian were printed in comparatively low numbers. This is one of the very few translations of "Origin of Species" of which Freeman has not listed the collation. This suggests that he never actually saw the copy but only read of it. Freeman 631.R.B.

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.

réf. 62054Barcelona Edicions 62 1982 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. Light wear to extremities spine with a few light stains. A nice and clean copy. 412 pp. The genealogical tree included in the pagionation on pp. 124-125. First Catalan translation of Darwin's landmark "Origin of Species". Translated by Santiago Alberti and Constança Alberti. Edition by Joan Senent-Josa and Montserrat Vallmitjana; prologue by Thomas Glick. Published on the centennial year of Darwin's death. The same year is the 20th anniversary of thefoundation of the publisher Edicions 62 whose foundational mission was to publish texts in Catalan both original and in translation—and not rarely on controversial subjects. This was seenas a political affirmation of the Catalan identity purposedly crushed by the Franco regime sincethe Civil War. Edicions 62 decided to publish this translation of Darwin's Origin as the very first title of theirseries "Clàssics del Pensament Modern" Classics of Modern Thought. The Series would go onto include translations of Adam Smith Diderot Karl Marx Montesquieu Freud TocquevilleEinstein Lacan and dozens more from the previous three centuries which had never been translated to Catalán. Previously a 1980-edition Barcelona Bruguera 1980 Blanco & Llorca 63 has been referred to as the first Catalan translation. This however is a bibliographical error since the copy referred to is in Spanish. Freeman F2447.Blanco & Llorca 68. unknown

1860réf. 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

Foxing to endleaves and to fore edge else clean and unblemished. In his eye-opening re-appraisal of Darwin's botanical books Oliver Sachs wrote that Darwin's botanical studies were "engines of war great missles of evidence lobbed at the skeptics of his theory of natural seledtion" The River of Consciousness. Sachs observes that the botanical studies are "even more overwhelming" than the author's magnum opus The Origin of Species in its presentation of natural seledtion as the basic fact of evolution. Sachs singles out this work The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species as particularly significant in that it explores the theme of co-evolution between two or more interdependent species such as elongated flowers developing together with insects capable of pollinating them with a long proboscus.

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was an immediate best-seller when it was first published in 1872 and still provides the point of departure for research into emotion and facial expression. In his study of infants and children including a delightfully objective study of his own baby's smiles and pouts of the insane of painting and sculpture of cats and dogs and monkeys and of the ways that people in different cultures express their feelings Darwin's insights have not been improved upon by modern science. This definitive edition contains a substantial new Introduction and Afterword by Paul Ekman. Ekman also provides commentaries that use the latest scientific knowledge to elaborate support and occasionally challenge Darwin's insights. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-DarCH; Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals EMOTIONS PSYCHOLOGY COMPARATIVE INSTINCT Why do we bite people we feel affection towards Why do dogs wag their tails Or cats purr Why do we get embarrassed and why does embarrassment make us blush These and . 1965. 0226136566 .
