1887rif. 009557Warsaw: Wydawnictwo Przeglądu Tygodniowego 1887 8vo 24 cm 4 II 412 XVIII pp. Contemporary cloth-backed marbled boards binding rubbed with a small loss to the marbled paper at the tail of the front board endpapers somewhat stained a number written in blue pencil on the front free endpaper light toning throughout the text. The first Polish edition of Charles Darwin's celebrated travel narrative originally published in English as "Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle" and later known as "The Voyage of the Beagle". This work presents Darwin's observations and scientific reflections made during the historic 1831-1836 voyage of the Beagle documenting his studies in geology zoology botany and ethnography across South America the Galápagos Islands and other regions--research that proved foundational for the later development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Translated into Polish by Józef Nusbaum from the 1884 English edition this publication represents an important milestone in the reception of Darwinian thought in Poland and remains a key text in the history of nineteenth-century science and exploration.

1862rif. 176464Paris: Guillaumin et Cie Victor Masson et Fils 1862. With an autograph letter signed by the woman Darwin judged "one of the cleverest" in Europe First edition in French translated and edited by the self-taught theorist feminist and author Clémence Royer 1830-1902 together with a loosely inserted autograph letter signed by her. Her lengthy preface and extensive footnotes pre-staged the rise of social Darwinism and anticipated several of the issues Darwin himself would later consider in the Descent of Man 1871. After reading Royer's edition Darwin judged her "one of the cleverest & oddest women in Europe" Darwin Correspondence Project. The French philosopher Renan went further deeming her "almost a man of genius". Although Royer had no scientific training she worked closely with the naturalist René-Édouard Claparède 1832-1871 to ensure that her translation of Darwin's biology was technically accurate. However Royer transcended the typically passive role expected of female translators and took a considerably more active engagement in the final text - a move seen at the time as a distinctly masculine one. Assuming an editorial capacity she outlined her own interpretation of Darwinian science bullishly exploring consequences that Darwin had carefully left out and adding a Lamarckian slant to his theories. In this she was among the first to publicly draw eugenicist conclusions from Darwin's work. France had been particularly resistant towards Darwinian science in part because of Lamarck's continuing grip on its biological thought. By positioning Darwin as a defender of Lamarckian inheritance Royer became a prominent albeit unsystematic champion of Darwinian ideas in France. Darwin later chose to retain Royer for the second edition indicating she claimed that she understood the thrust of his thought better than most. In the enclosed autograph letter Royer writes to Alphonse de Calonne 1818-1902 the founder of the Revue Contemporaine to arrange a meeting regarding the publication of her novel Les Jumeaux d'Hellas 1864. Together 2 items: i octavo 175 x 111 mm. Folding lithographed plate facing p. 160; ii bifolium 130 x 105 mm written across 16 lines on the first page with Royer's embossed initials at the head. Contemporary black pebble-grain calf spine lettered in gilt and ruled in blind marbled endpapers. Near-contemporary critical pencil annotation to outer margin of pp. 107 and 341.
