1872réf. 189795London: John Murray 1872. Completing Darwin's evolutionary writings First edition first issue "written as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment" Freeman. The plates are among the earliest commercially reproduced photographs in a scientific book. While researching this work Darwin invited the photographer Oscar Rejlander to make comparative studies of laughter and crying obtained photographs of asylum inmates from the asylum director James Crichton-Browne and consulted the French physiologist Guillaume Duchenne on his electrical research on facial muscles. In the first issue "that" is spelled correctly on the first line of page 208. The plates are lettered with Roman numerals; another state is known in Arabic numerals without priority of issue. Freeman suggests that the Arabic numeral plates were printed first but notes that "the two states seem to occur at random in the two issues of the text and Darwin's own copy at Cambridge has the Roman" Freeman. Octavo. With 7 tissue-guarded heliotype plates of which 3 folding woodcut illustrations within text. With 4 pp. publisher's advertisements dated November 1872 at rear.

2009réf. S64622Cambridge Ma.: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press 2009. xx 2 ix 537 1 text fig. . HB. Small 4to 212x212mm orig. cloth. Fine in d/w in removable protective sleeve. First edition. Scarce. This is the highly sought-after 2009 hardcover first printing. A cornerstone for any serious Darwin or History of Science collection. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is the most important and yet least read scientific work in the history of science. Now James T. Costa - experienced field biologist theorist on the evolution of insect sociality and passionate advocate for teaching Darwin with Darwin in a society where a significant proportion of adults believe that life on earth has been created in its present form within the last 10000 years - has given a new voice to this epochal work. By leading readers line by line through the Origin Costa brings evolution's foundational text to life for a new generation. The Annotated Origin is the edition of Darwin's masterwork used in Costa's course at Western Carolina University and in Harvard's Darwin Summer Course at Oxford. A facsimile of the first edition of 1859 is accompanied by Costa's extensive marginal annotations drawing on his extensive experience with Darwin's ideas in the field lab and classroom. This edition makes available an accessible useful and practical resource for anyone reading the Origin for the first time or for those who want to reread it with the insights and perspective that a working biologist can provide. 9780674032811 Belknap Press of Harvard University Press hardcover
1875réf. 182454London: John Murray 1875. A meticulous study of botanical evolution First edition first issue in particularly fresh condition. Darwin consulted leading physiologists and chemists in this experimental work to show that carnivorous plants adapted to trap and digest insects enabling them to survive in poor soil. Two of the woodcuts figures 7 and 8 are after drawings by Darwin himself while several are after drawings by his sons George and Francis. Darwin started researching insectivorous plants in 1860 after observing a sundew while resting in Sussex. "During subsequent years whenever I had leisure I pursued my experiments and my book on 'Insectivorous Plants' was published in July 1875 - that is sixteen years after my first observations. The delay in this case as with all my other books has been a great advantage to me; for a man after a long interval can criticize his own work almost as well as if it were that of another person. The fact that a plant should secrete when properly excited a fluid containing an acid and ferment closely analogous to the digestive fluid of an animal was certainly a remarkable discovery" van Wyhe. The finished book discussed the whole range of such plants their adaptations and evolutionary relationships and their specialized digestive processes. Octavo. Woodcuts in text. Original green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind brown coated endpapers. Bookplate of Henry Wade Deacon 1852-1932 son of chemist and industrialist Henry Deacon; contemporary bookseller's ticket of G. G. Walmsley Liverpool to front pastedown. Cloth bright and unmarked extremities lightly rubbed rear inner hinge starting but holding firm majority of gatherings unopened endleaves foxed: a near-fine copy. Freeman 1217; Norman 601.
