1909réf. 182356Cambridge: Printed at the University Press 1909. The evolution of evolution Limited presentation edition inscribed in a secretarial hand to Lucien Cuénot 1866-1951 a pioneering developer of Mendelian genetics and a skilled promoter of neo-Darwinism. These presentation copies were printed for delegates at the 1909 Darwin celebrations in Cambridge - marking the centenary of the man himself and the half-centenary of his most famous work. The Foundations marks Darwin's first articulation of the theory of evolution. Cuénot then professor of zoology at the University of Lorraine had been engaged in Mendelian experiments since the rediscovery of the latter's work in 1900. For this he is celebrated as the individual responsible for introducing genetics into Franc and for doing so in an essentially Darwinian framework. Darwin wrote the Foundations in mid-1842 drawing together a series of observations that had been fermenting since he stepped off the Beagle at Falmouth. As Francis Darwin observed the basic structure of the sketch resembles that of the Origin itself outlining the Malthusian mechanisms of natural selection and proceeding from analysis of domesticated organisms to those in a state of nature. Following Emma Darwin's death in 1896 the 35-page manuscript was discovered in a cupboard in Down House where it had been discarded as scrap paper. Francis Darwin who had co-authored several scientific works with his father edited the manuscript for presentation. Later in 1909 the University Press published a trade edition which paired Foundations with another previously unpublished "sketch" from 1844. Octavo. Photogravure portrait frontispiece with tissue guard photographic plate.

1862réf. 143986London: John Murray 1862. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Murray 1862 first edition first issue. Octavo vi 366 32 publisher's advertisements pages with 34 wood-engraved illustrations some full-page one a folding plate additional to the pagination. Ribbon-embossed plum cloth blocked in gilt and blind; covers slightly worn at the corner-tips and unevenly sunned on the spine; old repair to a split at the head of the front joint; contemporary library stamps to a dozen pages but see our footnote; front hinge cracked but firm; a few other minor signs of age and handling; a very good copy. The scarce first issue of Darwin's first major work after 'On the Origin of Species' 1859. Its exploration of the mechanisms of pollination offered a persuasive observable demonstration of his theory of natural selection in operation in particular through the coevolution of insects and the sexual structures of the orchids that they fertilise. Although praised by botanists the book did not sell well and in later issues the sheets from the first printing were offered in a variant binding and with advertisements dated as late as 1871. This example is in the first-issue binding and has advertisements dated December 1861. The total edition likely comprised fewer than 2000 copies. This copy has the contemporary blindstamp of the Adelaide bookseller W.C. Rigby to the front free endpaper and flyleaf and the contemporary library stamps of the Gawler Institute attesting to the early importation of Darwin's works into colonial South Australia. The title page has an early manuscript shelf mark in ink the Gawler Institute red inkstamp with the inserted reference number 1947 and a much later blue inkstamp for the Salisbury North High School Library. That this book has survived at all is cause for celebration. Freeman 800 'variant a.'. John Murray hardcover

Green cloth lettered and decorated in gilt on the spine and decorated in blind on the sides; all edges uncut; slight wear to the extremities; leaves adjacent to the endpapers foxed with scattered light foxing elsewhere; front hinge lightly stabilised; one preliminary leaf creased with a few short marginal tears expertly sealed; a few minor signs of age and use; a very good copy. 'This last book is outside the main stream of Darwin's work and reverts to his earlier geological interests. He had indeed published a paper on mould in 1838 in the "Proceedings of the Geological Society of London" Vol. ii pp. 5-74-76 which he had read to the Society in the previous year. The book was remarkably successful selling 6000 copies within a year and 13000 before the end of the century .

Darwin died on 19 April 1882 soon after the publication of this edition. Provenance: Dr Kenneth Ernest Lee 1927-2007 distinguished NZ-born Australian soil scientist with his signature and 1982 book purchase details at the head of the title page. Loosely inserted in the book is his obituary: not least it records that Lee's influential 1985 publication 'Earthworms: their Ecology and Relationships with Soils and Land Use' was the direct descendant of Darwin's pioneering work.

Vol. I p. 297 starts with ""transmitted"". Vol. II has the inserted postscript and has errata on the verso of the title-page. Freeman points out that ""the word evolution occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume.""In this work Darwin expounded fully his theory of sexual selection and discussed at length the link he recognised between human and ape lineage. This piece further enhanced Darwin's fame - if not his popularity - and is one of the most significant works in the evolutionary debate. It addresses the issue of human evolution in terms that Darwin had shied away from in On the Origin of Species knowing how controversial his ideas would be. By 1871 he had the confidence and stature to publicise this crucially important part of his theory of natural selection.Freeman 937. hardcover

A good copy. A good copy of the sixth edition of one of the most important texts in the history of science. The first edition of 1859 a great rarity is described in Freeman as "". the most important biological work ever written.""; Dibner "". the most important single work in science.""; Printing & the Mind of Man "". revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the natural order of things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had been finally established and a vast step forward in the uniformity of nature had been taken."" The sixth edition extensively rewritten by Darwin and published in 1872 removed the word 'On' from the title 'On the origin of species' and includes rebuttal of Roman Catholic biologist St. George Mivart's theological arguments in his 1871 text On the Genesis of Species. The sixth edition is significant for including the use of the word 'evolution' for the first time in furtherance of Darwin's argument for natural selection. It is the last edition published in Darwin's lifetime and includes extensive revisions and rewriting by the author. The sixth edition went through numerous printings and includes all Darwin's revisions since On the origin of species was first released in 1859. It is considered the definitive text for what many consider to be the most significant scientific book ever published. Freeman 424 hardcover

1859réf. 184317London: John Murray 1859. Ushering in a new era of thought about the nature of man First edition of "the most influential scientific work of the 19th century" Horblit and "certainly the most important biological book ever written" Freeman. The initial 1250 copies of Darwin's magnum opus prompted an intellectual revolution comparable to that of Newton or Copernicus. While recognizable theories of evolution had been developing since at least the mid-1750s the Origin introduces the critical mechanism of natural selection to explain the direction of the process. When married with Mendelian genetics natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary theory: "every modern discussion of man's future the population explosion the struggle for existence the purpose of man and the universe and man's place in nature rests on Darwin" Mayr pp. vii-xxviii. Octavo 187 x 114 mm. Folding diagram lithographed by W. West. Bound with half-title and without publisher's advertisements as often.

Included are On the Origin of Species arguably the most important scientific work of the nineteenth century; Voyage of the Beagle a captivating travelogue richly stocked with observations that helped guide the young Darwin through his evolutionary world view; The Descent of Man which explored the origins of humans and their history; and The Expressions of Emotions in Man and Animals which explored the origin and nature of the mind.
